Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Still misty rainy here and quite muggy and humid as well

I see lake vrynwy is down to 62% capacity due to the lack of rain.

I've been for an early Bimble this morning, thought I wasn't going to get out as planned, we've had my Good Ladies carer in around six the last few days, she was due about six today but didn't arrive till quarter to seven so it was a bit of a scramble to get out for half seven, rode my Brinklow loop, 24 miles, a cool cloudy morning with a bit of a breeze that warmed up nicely by the end, I went with summer tights and a light long sleeved jersey, a new one I'd just brought, bright orange and very comfortable, my old ones were close to twenty years old and had started to fall apart. It was a good couple of hours out on the bike and very enjoyable. I got in just in time, as soon as I walked through the door my Good lady called for the commode so I had to swap from cyclist to carer.

Well done. That'll set you up for the day. No reason I couldn't have been out either. Just not much enthusiasm plus the humid weather really.

Is Mrs D pretty much immobile now? :sad:

Yes, she can stand for a couple of minutes and thats about that, I use a lifter to get her on the commode and into her wheelchair, when we go out I push her in her chair, because she can't get in a car now we use the buses.

I hurt my back yesterday cleaning the bathroom and now on the Co-codamol :sad:
@Mo1959 How's Molly today

Thanks for asking. She’s much brighter and getting back to her usual self. Even chasing a fly earlier. Couple of days ago she was feeling so bad they were flying inches above her head and she couldn’t even be bothered looking at them.

I’ve been ordering better quality foods to try and get some condition back on her. The supermarket stuff like Whiskas, Felix, etc is so poor quality, I even wondered if there had been a bad batch that caused this. Once I get some weight back on her I’ll get her booked in to get her teeth scaled and cleaned as there’s just the beginning of gingivitis around them. Better done now than losing teeth later.
