Hung about in the house whilst a new front door and two upstairs are fitted.
Been out and done 8 miles on the bike. Can hardly walk now so am going to find a sit down jobâŠ

After 8 miles, the twistgrip wrist would just be bedding in.

After an amusing start today while enjoying my coffee, I am off to get my eyes examined today. No need to say I have often been asked that very question.

Blimey. I thought theyâd stopped doing track and trace weeks ago.
I got one of those a week or two since. I was asked for my card details for the postage, so I quite it because it seemed like a scam. Would it have been genuine? 
Still, better safe than sorry. 
Tell me all about it, Foxy. Where do you go? Do you keep to the roads?
I go on the roads if I have to, but I prefer to avoid them if I can.

Do you live in a mansion now? Two upstairs is a tall house 
Today was a lazy day. All the kerfuffle with my sister meant I slept late at 0900 this morning. I breakfast then a long walk with the dog singular. He usually picks the preferred route and today we did. Then we went home.
All roads Harbal, my bike is a racing machine (but is ridden like a work bike but slower) the tyres are very narrow and delicate. I try and find some nice quiet country roads, and so far (up to fifteen miles) itâs along roads I used to run, but as time goes on and I get used to riding again I will have to venture on to some busy ones.

There are some tarmac tracks, Foxy, but even some of the dirt tracks are good enough for thin tyres. The scenery tends to be better off the road, too.
Fat boy tyres. Thatâs what you need. Big squishy comfy wheels that carry you over any terrain.
Note: Cannot verify this personally, but they are on my wishlist.
Wouldnât want to do more than two miles on that (not without a motor) the thicker the tyres the more rolling resistance, the ergonomics of the bike are all wrong and it probably weighs a ton, ok and comfy for just nipping down to the Offy on.

Hi
My PTSD worker has just left.
She was brilliant and great fun.
Moved some stuff and filled up the Aquarium to silence it.
All in all,a good dayâŠ
Sorted out some books. Every so often I put a load outside our house on a table for sale for a local charity that helps autistic kids. We live on a lane and quite a few people walk through as itâs a good shortcut. So tomorrow I will take those that havenât sold to either Tesco or Aldi who both have bookstalls for charity. They sell really quickly âŠâŠ I recently took about 15 books and by the time I had finished my shopping only 2 of them were left!

If you want a bike for exercise rather than point to point travel then surely you want it to be as heavy and have as much rolling resistance a possible

Bruce, I am biased where two wheel travel is concerned, if you just want exercise, an exercise bike is just the ticket, and if you want to go a relatively short distance in relative comfort, the afore mentioned Fat Bike is a fine contender, but, to make your exercise sort of fun, seeing a fair bit of your surroundings, like the Lycra Brigade do, a machine that weighs about 5Kgs and has tyres of about 15mm is the requirement, then, when you have had you fill of that, get yourself a Leccy bike, go to the places that you used to grimace as your legs tired and your lungs burnt and think to yourself why?
