Morning all.
Bad nights sleep last night, unusual for me. I was really cold at first although we have the 12.5 tog on, then I was sweating. I seemed to drift off ok, have a weird dream and wake up again. Another one for Classics logic to solve:wacko:.
Early days but my back is not as painful up to now**. I only had one lot of pain killers yesterday, hopefully I can do without today.
**its strangely different to when it normally gives problems. This is worse when I am sitting or trying to stand. I can normally tell how bad it is by standing in front of the mirror.......from the waist up my body is kicked out at a noticable angle......anyone else get that problem???

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

I'd go to the Dr's and see what they say. Hope you feel better soon Dave:cheers:

No.1 just texted "sorry I missed your texts, will be home at 3.00" Yeah, "missed," shorthand for I couldn't be arsed
Its that way with grandkids. 2 of them, if and when they contact us my first thought is "what are they after". Good 'kids' (semi adults now) but predictable.
I can honestly say I never asked my grandparents for anything.
Mind you, they had all passed away before I knew them^_^

Barnet,
Morning all, a nice bright start to the day here. Once breakfast has been eaten and the dog has been walked, I'm out on the bike for a few hours.
The grown up sprogs are coming for dinner later on this afternoon, so I am cooking a chicken chassuer.
Another day in retirees paradise ^_^

About the dreams??
Seriously, thanks but I know the route cause. It was a lifting injury at work when I was 19. Over the years it went worse until the specialist told me I could end up in a wheel chair. Strangely, in later life it steadily improved and now I can go months with no issues.....then IT decides to go again for no apparent reason. Maybe when all is well I get complacent and forget to bend/ lift properly.

Good morning - Clocks were done before going to bed last night (apart from the one in the car).

It's dry and bright out there and I'll soon be going up the ladder to put the cladding back on that the previous night's wind took off.

A cycle ride to see my brother this afternoon.

Have a good day.
Does the one in the car not adjust automatically?
