Hi

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Off to help someone with a phone or something later on

then more stuff at a local "independent living" thingy

reminds me - must make some sandwiches - no time to come home for lunch in between!

Maybe I'm remembering the name wrong. It's a long time ago!

Maybe Fingle Bridge?

Bonjour. Bike ride planned for today but I am also waiting for our local man to come and give us a price for installing a new radiator and half a wall to plaster so I may not go today.
Gone a bit chilly too.
The car reminded me yesterday that it needs servicing in 29 days and MOT due mid May.

We are expecting ours (Band E) to be a bit less than that at around £3200.

Still quite a lot for what we get out in the sticks.

My council tax is £67 a month.............for a cardboard box on the side of the road

Went to a physion yesterday about my feet and legs
basically I had a problem a few months ago but have had different problems over the years

so we thought it would be best to try to stop it happening again

anyway - turns out that my feet point in the wrong direction - not straight forward more outwards than normal
and my ankles, knees and wrists and finger are bend far too far backwards

and as a result In have bone spurs and something similar on my knees
and also my knees get more wear and tear than those of normal people


AKA - my legs are weird and I walk like a duck

anyway - he suggested some insoles - but couldn;t suggest anything specific
so I will have to try a few and see which ones don;t cripple me!!

All this is one reason I cycle - when my feet/knees hurt - cycling is still OK!!!

I would keep quiet about that, you don't want to be associated with you know who!

Is that for 12 payments or 10?
My council tax is £261 for 10 payments so a total of £2610 for the year.
