Finally home. However, it did not go smoothly. I couldn't get in the house, so we had to call the fire department. I thought I was going to have to go back to the hospital, but they helped get me inside. A bit embarrassing, but at least I'm at home.

At home physical therapy is supposed to start today. Can't say that I'm looking forward to that.

Cheerful!

My new bike (for those that weren't in FB club)


This is my new winter training bike - a Charge Juicer Hi - Steel-frame road bike.
Took it out for the first time yesterday and am mostly very pleased with it - A very smooth and comfortable ride with a ride position how I like it, though it is very heavy compared to my carbon No1 steed. A real grinder up the hills, but that's training!

I just installed mudguards on it and I put some winter tyres on so I'm all set for riding in the crappy English winter... no excuses! I might have to replace the brakes as they're crap. The gears (Shimano 105, for those of you that might care) are smooth and positive.

Now I have to start thinking about my next purchase - a touring bike for my South of France trip planned for around 2018 with MiniSiz. Think I'll wait a while before mentioning that one to MrsSiz...

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

I should so add that to my sig for posterity!

Expedia lets you choose your seat on the flights and I was able to snag window seats for all six planes that I'll be on.  ;D

Well if I'm going to be stuffed into a pressurized can for 7 hours I might as well make it more comfortable.

Am I best staying in the city centre or Leeds East near you?  All the people I know who live there, live chapel allerton way so it maybe too out of the way to stay with them.
