Lol. No, these ones. They are more casual than sports but are lightweight with a rubber nose bridge so I’m sure they will be fine for running/cycling too if I want.

I'm back from my 30 minute blast and waiting for the call from the doctor. I'm half hoping that I can't hear what he is saying so I can point out how daft it is to make a telephone appointment for someone struggling to hear! 
(I actually don't have any problems on the phone as long as people speak clearly. Mumblers plus background noise ARE a problem, but modern phones seem pretty good at cancelling out background noise. I often don't realise when my sister calls me from somewhere busy because her iPhone is so good at isolating her voice from the other sounds.)
I think this is the doctor's first afternoon appointment so he should be pretty prompt.

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

Oh, I forgot to mention the foolish cyclist who considered my cautious filtering in Tod's snarled up traffic to be too snail-like. I was doing about 10 km/hr, watching out for people walking out from between stationary vehicles, and also for large vehicles coming the other way. He swerved round me doing about 3 times my speed and went round a bend straggling the white line. He seemed surprised to encounter a bus coming the other way and taking up the bit of road that he was expecting to use...! 
He panic-braked and squeezed into what little space was left. I coasted up behind him and stopped. I didn't bother pointing out the error of his ways...
PS Oh, that was quick. The doctor phoned a couple of minutes early. There was a comedy moment where I could barely hear what he was saying. I think that he was shouting "Is that ColinJ?" Then I realised that I hadn't put the phone on speaker!
He has an appointment cancellation for tomorrow morning, so I am nipping in for a quick examination.
I'm not going to make the obvious joke!

It's been quite a day.
MrsD woken by a big cock.
Paulus having sad looking plums.
And now MrWD's fat balls are melting!
I dread to think what'll happen this evening.

I might go another walk soon and have sweaty boobs!

Our Sunday training runs took us along Studland Beach, I’ve often spotted a Cockatoo. I noticed they tended to be noticeably smaller in the winter months.

I came back from an evening bike ride a week or so back and saw two young men walking along the pavement in my direction. One of them had a very large, brightly-coloured parrot sitting on one of his shoulders. At first I thought it was a dead parrot (, bereft of life, pushing up daisies etc.) but then it fluttered its wings a couple of times to keep its balance! I didn't notice if it was tethered to stop it flying away.
I'll probably get banned if I posted my original reply.

That's def a first. And it wouldn't be a pretty sight either
