Day 759,760,761

Wow that's a week gone by and the weekend is also over and back to work tomorrow.

Its certainly been different! i wonder does it count though? well in my book yes it does!

The weather has been so hot this week and travelling to work with the sun in my face and not forgetting my eyes! has been some what interesting. Driving skills being honed at long last! Tim would say over due and goodness only knows what Tom thinks. He has little faith in me, i wonder why? Tom called round after yet another cycle ride and tried to help me with this ipad. He gave up and said you are dangerous, you cant understand the working of a computer at all!!! Get someone to do it for you, well i had down loaded an app and i was proud of myself!!! Mikey just the same, they found it hard trying to explain things to me and usually gave up!

Anyway i digress!

Late finishing Friday and the drive along the bypass was beautiful the sun was just setting, so i got the camera out, whist driving, yes i know a danger to myself and others. But i just held it out of the window and hoped. What i wasn't expecting was a photo very similar to Mikey's fb page photo, really uncanny.

Saturday lazed in the garden and played with the ipad, well playing???? a chore which i abandoned when Tim suggested a walk with Duke. Camera as always with me and off we went. It was wonderful, i could hear the raucous noise of the Crows, yes they are back and flying towards the trees to settle for the night. I was getting quite worried that i had not seen any for such a long time. I really like the noise they make. Tim thinks I'm odd and asked what bird would you like to settle in the tree in our garden and my response surprised him.  Owls, was my swift reply. Tim said he could live with that! Coming to the end of our walk we watched a man sitting in the sun on the river bank fishing, his wife watching from their garden under a parasol, drink on the table. A really lazy picture. A catch! the fish rising out of the water, i shouted across the river, hold it up! To my surprise as the camera clicked so did my brain! My cousin David and wife Diane. A conversation took place across the water. Makes a change from the garden fence.

We finished the evening watching a film. We needed to keep busy today.

Today was so hot and it was the Grunty Fen half marathon, i hadn't entered because i thought i was having the knee done, so pleased as it would have been murder in the heat!! So garden, ipad!!!!! and then a ride this evening. Sue has turned her ankle and thought a cycle ride would be good. I'm running well at the moment so we rode for 16 miles! i had a numb backside by the time i reached home. It was then an evening with George Gently  followed by a blog.

It was with much sadness on Saturday that we became aware of the loss of another young man to CF. Mikeys friend Matt lost his battle against CF. Mikey would have said if he was here, the bar tab keeps getting smaller. So Matt, breathe easy, enjoy the party that awaits you on the other side, your friends are waiting.

 For us, tomorrow is another day.............................
