What have I done to deserve this?

Dusty - and the PSB - said it all. My luck is showing no sign of turning for the better. I was out cycling again yesterday afternoon and decided to go along the river on the golf course. The path got a bit narrow and slopey at one point and I made the fatal error of slowing down - I should have kept the pace up - and off I tumbled, smashing my body in to a birch tree - boy did it hurt!

I eventually managed to get up, dust myself off and make it back home. Moving was painful and I knew sleep would be difficult - and so it proved. At 5 am this morning, I'd had enough - I got up and thought I would try to head to work as I'd originally planned, but any kind of movement was painful and I decided it would have to be Casualty for me, so I got Jo up and we headed to ARI.

If ever there's a good time to visit Casualty, it's early on Monday morning - we were the only ones there. I was examined by one of the Doctors - no ribs broken or cracked - just bruised - but he told me it could be painful for a few months yet - what? I've got my Spanish golfing holiday in 3 weeks' time - oh no!

So here I am, at home again, blogging and moaning away again about the state of my body. I was really enjoying the cycling as part of my recuperation after the knee ops and was looking forward to a trip to the gym and pool again today, but this has set me back again.

I should have stuck to better surfaces and not risked the tighter tracks down at the river. I'd also cycled on Saturday - up to Banchory Car Centre. Ross had finally spotted a vehicle - a Mazda 3 - that would do for his business and could take the "Banchory Techies" name and numbers etc - so that's his company's first acquisition. Now all we need to do is get rid of the old Merc from our driveway.
