Hi All. Many thanks for all birthday wishes. Had a very pleasant barbie yesterday and today we crawled out of bed at about 10.30 and went for a bike ride. This is not the relaxing experience that it might be as I am constantly looking over my shoulder and listening for the thump as Ann falls off and hits the floor. It only happened once today, so slightly better than normal! We stopped for lunch at the restaurant we had been to for New Years Eve, and then came home for a swim. All very pleasant, but my single remaining brain cell is becoming just a faint glimmer due to indolence and lack of the necessity to do anything useful. I’m not sorry to be moving on next month. Great to talk to Ross on Skype this morning. Having it working has made such a difference.

I do so enjoy our bike rides! Of course, I blame the bike not the rider when I come a cropper!
