Days 791-806

16 days cant believe it. Its shameful that my time has been spent in mundane things!

Where to start still not downloaded the photos!

My knee is really getting so much better. I started off going to the club and managed 3 mile walks twice a week and have been out cycling. Started to cycle to the club last week and even managed a ride out yesterday.

I have had physio and that's all going well i think! loads of exercises and back on the 5th November. This week is my last week of walking i think i may just manage a little run! i can do 5 minute runs and 5 minute walks for 3 miles. I may just try that on Thursday, we will see if not leave it till next week.

I have remained very busy in my new job and each day i face a new challenge! I'm getting home tired and in the dark now. Winter draws ever closer i fear.

I had an amazing ride home the other evening  The sun was just setting and the sky had an orange glow, the fields had a mist rising up and as i was driving along the dual carriage way a flock of geese swooped down and were flying along the centre of the road in front of me, just like a winged escort. Beautiful.

I haven't as yet been out with Tim and Duke in the evenings but i am sure it will not be long now. The weight has crept on during this period of exercise drought and that has to be taken in control again.

I didn't get in the London Marathon yet again but have managed to get a team of 6 from the club to do a 65k walk across the downs in Surrey during May of next year all for CF. What have we let ourselves in for. I cannot read a map and there will be no signage, we have to find our own way all in 17 hrs! more training to come.
Mikey said do something different and i continue to try and do that. Its hard to accept sometimes that i would never have done anything if we hadn't lost him. I would have just meandered my way though living, quite happy with my lot, but just see what i would have missed, so Mikey thank you. What a task you set us.

I have managed to find the car i have wanted for a long time. Stuck to my guns and could not be persuaded to change my mind. A first in the car stakes, yet again Mikey you would have said about time too! Tim has been quite relentless in his tactics but i didn't waver! a wobbly moment or two but at last after many miles out looking and trawling the car websites tracked one down. Off i went last weekend all alone, deal done. Collect it next week. i will of course put a snap on here!!!
So this weekend Tim had stomach bug, i awake Sunday unable to see out of my left eye. I had been bitten in the night by a gnat several times. What joy i looked like nelson! The memory of those wretched insect bites a few weeks ago came sharply to mind to it was start on the antihistamines and hope for the best, a bit better today and horror of horrors once up on Sunday received a phone call to say my bank cards had been compromised and the fraud police were on the phone telling me how many attempts to remove funds from my account had taken place!! Lucky for me they didn't sanction them and as we were talking the card was being activated. I hope they catch the rotten people!

Today it was off on a course yet again travelling to Wokingham this time. Train to London, tube to Paddington, across to reading, then Wokingham and return in the rush hour. Eek what a journey i left home at 0530 and arrived home at 2100hrs a long day!

Going to an Awards ceremony at the Hilton in November! another cocktail dress.! fish out of water springs to mind. Then i have the marshaling event the same weekend, two more training days out!! not looking forward to that. Travelling oh my word.

So I'm off to bed tonight worn out! Age thing i guess. Still tomorrow is another day......................
