Christmas Eve

A great night at our friends. Far too much food. Probably too much singing. Definitely too much bagpipe playing.

And getting ready for the start of christmas day. Going back to old traditions with an early rise for the presents getting opened by the children. Not that they are really children so much any more.

Night Photo

Just loved this one. From the balcony, with night mode on.

Jupiter and Saturn visible in the sky. It’s the small star at the top of the picture. Zoom in to see them.

Cycle boot camp

Another day, another ride. Actually the same ride as yesterday, but 2km/hr faster average, with a few more calories burnt for the same distance courtesy of air resistance.

I still haven’t tried apple’s fitness plus but that could be on my list for today.

Another day, another ride.

Doing things around the home

Its time to start doing things around the home. I’ve done a couple of things already:

  • Added two nodes to the mesh network (after getting them on special for Black Friday on amazon, then discovering they had UK power plugs)..
  • Wired up my similarly cheap purchased Philips Centura downlight, only to discover it didn’t come with any power lead. Thats now been added as a fun little job in electrical plug wiring.
  • As an aside – I’m really liking what I saw when I walked into Altronics today to look for the plug. So much fun stuff…

Exercise program

Started my exercise program yesterday.

A couple of bike rides in, and I’m slowly getting back to normal with the shoulder. By no means my fastest or best ride, but still not too bad.

Now I just have to look at whether or not I can do the apple fitness exercise regime’s for weights. Have to give it a try …

On leave

Now I can relax. It’sa bit sad to consider sick leave as a holiday, but that’s what 2020 has been for me.

Anyway, it’s all good now. And bonus – sling means not driving today. So definitely ok to have a glass of wine. Maybe two.

Post surgery

My arm is in a sling and I didn’t expect that, although I don’t know why should not have

The moment it’s all good and I’m pain-free although they’re still a block on board.The moment it’s all good and I’m pain-free although there’s still a block on board.

Hopefully I’ll be going home today once I’m a bit more awake
