Back from my walk, 7.57 km. Round Hatch Pond, past the fragrant Lush units and onto the red brick road before dropping down past the Crematorium. Took a detour into Broadstone cemetery to pay my respects to ex mother and father in law and then popped into our " reassuringly expensive " " artisan baker " for a Mocha and an almond croissant. Back home now, ice packs on foot with dodgy ligaments and another coffee to hand.

Pot Noodle time. Geddy already smacking his lips in anticipation.

Another short wander before lunch which is just Greek yoghurt and blueberries.

Got in to find a letter from the NHS with a flu jab appointment which I have cancelled. They can poke their jabs in someone else. :laugh:

Ive turned mine down.
I had one years ago and it made me really ill.
Ive also turned down a gastro camera down my throat thingy. They said it was 'precautionary' and I've had a belly full of cameras, ultra sound/radio therapy stuff.
I have agreed to a bone scan on Tuesday as its none intrusive.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I've been clearing more junk out out of my workroom. Mr WD was outside and didn't see my throwing anything away :laugh:

By BB I assume you mean bottom bracket? Is it seized, if so I can't see heat gun working. Time to replace the bearings I'd say.

It hasn't moved and it's a sealed unit so it's staying in and using a different set of cranks.

Had enough of it today so instead put some shelves up in the cupboard that's being re-organised.

In other news picked up a Levis denim jacket for £14.00 ,not that old but in good condition so couldn't leave it really.

Had a good time at the pub. The singer was okish for the 1st half.
2nd half he did lots of Irish/Dubliners type stuff and had people up dancing (not me) and that was very good.
Now, you mustn't tell Dirk but I sinned and had fish, chips and mushy peas....followed by a double scoop of ice cream. It was an excellent meal.

Dave, it was Wednesday. What were you thinking of???

Well, that's me caught up with the days comings and goings. Home now, two brews and three digestive biscuits and I feel normal again.

I'm very pleased I had the colonoscopy and did the trial. I believe it's important to contribute, to give something back. Without volunteers, guinea pigs if you like, we make no progress. On the selish side the colonoscopy was all clear, no polyps or other unwanted growths - "nothing bad in there," was the examining nurse's comment.

Ponder this. Medicine must be a fascinating career..........but pushing a camera up patients' back passage every day??????

OH so, so true. Everyone wants a diagnosis of their dears being on the spectrum to explain their bad behaviour.
What's missing today is any sort of resilience in the population and their offspring.
Life can be shite , get over it and stop thinking life should be perfect. After 83 years I can tell you its not but still worth living.
My rant over.
As a parent of a child that was diagnosed with autism aged 5 and has had problems all the way though school and into the workplace, I find this comment simplistic at best and at worst ………

( and yes she walked a mile to school )
