Enjoy.
I used to drive that way regularly on my way to Porth Madogg and always thought "one day i will bring my bike here".....the roads are so inviting.
That was before I got into proper cycling. Sadly it will never happen now.

Sunny and 61 degrees at the moment. It was chilly last night, actually felt cold in bed in the wee small hours. Cycle ride done. Some potting up of marigolds this afternoon. French last week, African today.

Good to see you're not prejudiced .

Bit colder here last night and sunny now and still no rain:sad::angry:.

Was going on a ride but didn't feel like it so a day spent in the garden pottering and chilling.

Also got the camera out and took a few pics of the garden, some pics on this thread;

But here's basically what it was like this morning;

As Mrs Boldonlad,s Alzheimer’s advances, her memory deteriates. But, today, she began talking about a particular “coffee and cake” stop. So, I got our Hase Pino tandem out, and we revisited it. She really enjoyed it, and, remembered lots of the route, instructing me where and when to turn, in her role of human sat-nav. 😂

No there was a 3 months delay period between each eye.
I don't think it would be practical to do both at the same time as it would put too much pressure on your vision and recovery.

Right. I thought you meant last op on the same eye.
A friend of mine went private. He had full anaesthetic and both done at the same time.
I am with the consultant on Tuesday as I also need both eyes doing but the left eye is noticeably worse.

Your friend is a brave man to have both of them done at the same time . I wish him well.
Also, I have been told not to ride my bike for a week at least.
