I have just had bacon, egg, hash brown, mushroom and plum tomato. Followed that with a fresh baked cob/bap (still warm).

We have a heavy downpour at the moment. I’ve stuck the pjs on now as I won’t be back out.

Enjoying the cycling.

Do you make your own hash browns or are they shop bought ?
as I've never had them before.

It's very muggy and humid here. The sky has gone dark and I think we might be in for a storm.

I'm watching the TDF

When you say "steak and egg" please elucidate eg.....
1. I assume something else goes with that ie chips ??
2. What sort of steak ??

Sirloin steak (they didn't have any Rib eye) egg and a few fries.

Had my blood taken AND didn't cry !!!
Seriously though, I hardly felt this one while some of them feel they are using knitting needles......I wonder why that is.

I think it is partly technique and partly the exact place they do it - if they miss a nerve and do it right then it is OK
bad technique or they hit a nerve then you feel it

maybe

Had an afternoon snooze. Needed it. Apparently I will feel fatigued during recovery.

How long did they say for recovery?

 

[gavroche]

After the TdF finished, I did manage to go for a ride but only 21kms as it started to rain so I turned back. At my age, riding in the rain is a no go.

How long did they say for recovery?

A week to 10 days for the physical symptoms to pass, the weakness on my left side in my case, and I feel a little improved today in that regard.

The fatigue  probably a few weeks, but some folk months or even years.

A week to ten days isn't that bad. The weakness will go, especially if you follow what's been said. I sorta know from personal experience, but I've never been good at following orders on how to look after myself.

You've your fitness before it happened on your side.

An early (too early) good morning to all.
A note for @PaulSB ...I see Blackburn beat the Toffees. Everton will say "it was only a friendly" but it will hurt which is good
Bad weather for all/most today I think.
Not enough sleep last night so will go back for an hour shortly.

Morning. I nearly just got up at 4.30 as I wasn’t sleeping. Glad I didn’t as there’s been very heavy showers since and more to come. I feel the need for a walk though so I’ll just have to put up with cooking inside the waterproofs. I detest wet and humid weather.
