I was toasty warm in bed so I stayed there

Sounds good to me.

Just back from walking the dog. It's damp and misty out there.
I'll be out on the bike shortly, a few things to get from the local shops.

Good morning folks
Blue bin and “ walking for health “ group. There were a couple of people from Social Services on last weeks walk checking it out for suitability for some of their clients. We took them to the pub after the walk, I’m sure they enjoyed it. 🍺

Hope you made them pay for the booze 🥃

Not saying this will happen to you, but...

A number of years ago (after heart attack), I was a member of a cycling group, organised by our local NHS Trust. Most members were like me, ex-heart attack, or, in some cases recovering knee/hip replacements. One day, three new people turned up. One, we discovered was a Social Worker, and, he had in tow two, apparently fit and relatively young, youths. Other than first names, no information was exchanged. I subsequently learned that one of the "new arrivals" had mental health problems, and, had attacked his parents with a knife. He was perfectly OK with us, I even became quite friendly with the chap. However, I do have, what some may deem, an odd sense of humour. It did strike me that it would have been nice to have been made aware of the potential danger of "triggering" extreme behaviour, inadvertently.

Back from our walk. We ended up in the local " Spoons " post walk and I was looking at the various menus. I noticed that the burger patties are now 3oz instead of four, and that you get a small portion of chips. The Hash browns are no longer vegan due to supplier issues and the eggs are sourced from Europe due to the current egg shortage😮

Salut. I intended to go for a ride to my son's today but chickened out. Instead, I sat down and started reading a book called : The Midlife Cyclist by Phil Cavell, that my son bought me for my birthday. It is very interesting and describes how to cope with the ageing process past the age of 50 and how cycling can help in slowing it down a bit. It is quite hard reading as there are lots of medical terms which I will never remember but very informative. I only read a few pages at the time to rest my brain from overheating.
My son is also buying me the Dan Martin's book for Christmas too. Looking forward to that.

We had chicken, green beans and caiflower. Very healthy.

Banana sandwiches for me, got faggots later.

Morning. Brrrr. It's bang on freezing here just now and a bit misty too. Little 5k jog done, quick bath and just sat down with my porridge. Today's excitement is a hair cut at 11.15.

Hope it is cheaper than Mrs SD's.

Prices have just gone up - again!

Alternating every 8 weeks between trim/root colouring/blow dry at £100 and cut/colour/babylights/blow dry at £150.

Makes cycling look like a cheap activity. 😁
