Morning all, just been down to the Doctors for some more Neproxen for my creaking knees. Came away with forms for full blood tests including cholesterol as I haven't had bloods done in over 30 years. Blood pressure was also checked and was fine. So I'm having a mini MOT. The only downside is that I can't get a blood test appointment for two weeks, by hey ho. But on the upside, I now qualify for free prescriptions. There is always a bonus somewhere.

I turned 60 a month ago and was glad to see I now qualify for free eyesight tests as well. On the run up to it I kept getting vouchers from Boots for a free eyesight test so long as I bought some specs from them but now there is no clause.

I've now deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts and I actually feel a sense of freedom from that. One reason being there was too much work related posts on there from ex colleagues. Now I just have to stay away from P&L on here but that is still a bit difficult.

Hi Paul, have you tried the North mid. I had one there the other week, if you book on line you might get a same day appointment.

I'm sat in the Wedges Cafe at the Earlswood Plant Centre with toast and coffee. Its been an interesting ride out, showers and flooded roads, but nothing too deep.

The BBC lied to us this morning! It said a dry cloudy day with a stiff breeze! Between Fen End and Home I had rain, hail, torrential rain and sleet, no snow though just everything but the snow. I got home like a drowned rat, had to take off my wet overshoes, shoes and socks at the door, then go into the kitchen and do a jeans advert style strip in front of the washing machine, peeling off my wet clothes and chucking them in the machine before going upstairs for a shower and dry clothes. Good ride though, 56 miles at a 14 mph average, which is good for me, a very enjoyable ride despite the rain.

Not bad here. Sun, showers, sun, showers, but at least it isn't cold. Well done Dave.
