Your not watching the Jeremy Kyle documentary?
No thanks. Can’t stand the man.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
I had a year of not driving following an epileptic seizure. I'd guess it took me 30-60 minutes to get back in to it. Scary really.
I had 20 years of not cycling following my bicycle being stolen from my school bike shed. Eventually, I went to Manchester by train to buy a bike, brought it back to Hebden Bridge station, and then rode it home 1 km. The first few hundred metres felt a bit strange but by the time I got to my house I was a cyclist again! :okay:

23 years later I had my first pulmonary embolism and it took me 8 months to get back on a bike. That first ride was only a few hundred metres but despite its brevity I was tired and breathless afterwards. Quite chuffed about it though, as you can probably tell from this photo... :becool:

Barnet,
Good morning all.
A bright but chilly start to the day here.
Failed again at wordle :ohmy:
All the usual stuff to do today, plus I will get out on the bike later for a while to keep the legs ticking over.
I have a cooked chicken that needs to be used up, so chicken curry for dinner today :hungry:
There's a couple of things on the telly I need to catch up on, the BAFTA's isn't one of them. Peaky Blinders is. Granchester was quite good.
Enjoy your day everyone :cuppa:

Hey, hey, hey it's a beautiful day.........

Good morning. :sun: 6⁰C. Summer bike today :bicycle:

I have just remembered this little story. I wish I'd had a video camera, front and rear. Close pass of the year. Last Monday buddy and I were on the A59 Liverpool Road, busy, for ½ mile. Approaching traffic lights and wanting to turn right, we shoulder checked and moved in to the right filter lane. We were aware of a motorcycle. We were riding two abreast, lights changed and we continued through without needing to slow, as we straightened up following our turn.............

...........the motorcyclist drove between us. :laugh: :eek:

I mean WTF!!!
