The sun is shining for the 3rd day in Basingstoke!!. Got lots of washing out on the line in garden, gave the lawn its first haircut of the year, done a bit of weeding, knackered now, time for a nice glass of wine!! Lovely

I'll be back in about a month so they can do this damn surgery, but thenI'll be home for good. Really really stiff though. Too much laying around!

Have you tried boxing gloves?

Hurrah!!! Now for goodness sake try and stay away from the place!


My boyfriend made me a cup of tea to drink in bed this morning. Isn't he a sweetheart?
Wonder what he wanted...

Well? Did you find out?

Not yet!
Unfortunately I probably wont be seeing him again for ages (despite him only working 20 minutes away, and staying at his parents 1/2hr away until Tuesday) so here's hoping he's forgotten and makes me another cup.

Eh? He dumped the tea and ran out on you? And you laying there all warm and inviting? Poor girl.

He had to go to work unfortunately. Weekends usually involve my getting a lay in with nothing but my laptop for company!

I wasn't even wearing my Haynes Manual t-shirt!!

Another feel good - yesterday was spent stripping. The front suspension is almost in component form (would have been must quicker but ever other bolt was interrupted with people coming up to tell me how well I'm doing, or their stories of old cars...)

That's strange. I've always found that watching others stripping was one of life's least satisfying experiences.

Now - about the Haynes nightwear: got any pics?

How odd. Seemed yesterday that all of the old men wanted to come and see me getting all hot and covered in oil as I lay out on the grass under a very enjoyable sun shine slowly taking things off.

I'll take you a photograph later when I swap computers xx

painting and sitting on the porch listening to the song-birds really get me off.....

Hey congrats Greybeard. We are coming up to our 35th in July. They sure take a while to settle down dont they?

Yeah.. Dogs are definitely quicker to train, and they don't answer back.

Congratulations, GB! 35 years together - that's great. Quite an achievement. Don't you feel like a "dinosaur"? That's what my friends said after 25 years.

"Feeling good": My SCI friend / colleague had a great time during the holidays at the Lake Constance (south Germany) where he was at a plane exhibition and met lots of fellow pilots. He told me it was finally (!) possible to go 10 km along the lake on handbike. (Finally - indeed!) But he was very relaxed and happy and well prepared for the next exams.

I have had a great weekend in Nottingham on a badminton training weekend with the Blazers. Everyone was welcoming and helped me as much as they could even lending me a chair to play in.

I am going to now work towards my first match on the 5th of June although I do not expect to win it will be nice to meet everyone again and get my first real game nerves out of the way!

If anyone from the Blazers is reading this thanks once again.

[StillFingers]

New drive for my lappy makes me happy

[greybeard]

I love the Spring time.

[qbounce]

Wow, 35 years!! Belated Congratulations GB!!!

And Jerry, good to hear your out more. It's gorgeous outside after the rain. Hopefully the earthquake weather thing is just a mythe, because this is the perfect time for it. --

[Wheelsonfire]

Spent the last 4 glorious days power washing, painting, landscaping, only thing left is to point the patio slabs, my hands are like leather but Yhipee for another gimp who forgets he's in a chair!!

PS; Congrats to Mrs & Mr GB

Regards

[StillFingers]

Congrats Geoff and Mrs. Geoff on 35 yrs of well done

Got my blood work back, not to bad for a 53yr old anemic diabetic cripple...
- Cholesterol 171
- HDL 47, LDL 112
- A1C 121
- Hemoglobin 12.4 not to bad considering it was 6.8 back in 08

There's more, but if I went on it'd just be boring losing 35lbs is next, one step at a time as the say
