Lancing A Boil!!!

I know Cyclings Cycling, no matter where or how, you do it.  But I cycle for very practical reasons, and any other benefits, are just add ons. It matters not, what I'm wearing, or the brand of my Cycle, just that it gets me from A to B. And it helps, that it makes me happy, and healthy, gives me choices, and gives me s'thing to talk about :D I like to be happy, honest, and positive, and I have to say th majority of Cyclists I come accross, are in that Ilk. And not competitive cheating gits.

Which reminds me, I have got myself invited to a SHSC sheffield Health and Social Care Event on Monday. I've got a table, my Torch and my Record of Involvement.

Snow!! :)

I MADE myself go out today, and mighty glad I did!!!!

It's so cold and dull outside, a bit like me eh?? :D Inside it's all warm and cosy....? I'm a bit worried now, where this could lead!!!!

If you notice, I've calmed a little and I've retracted the foul language, and subsituted it with Blighters :D Crikey!!

I logged on this morning, to read several supportive emails. I don't often feel totally adjudicated??? but I feel so right about me catching the train into Council meetings, and saving my Health shaking my lethargy,and sav

Not Long Enough,....so sad :(

Northern Rail Are Pants!!

On what could be a very monumental day for disability travel, in Europe. I thought I'd better get more experienced in taking Ziggy on the train. And I was actually wanting to save Sheffield Council, about £25 a time, So I hatched a plan, and that was to cycle to Dore train Station, board a train with my trike at 957 arrive in Sheff 7minutes later, and then cycle to Redvers House..

Directors and Managers in Social Care were extatic, at my innovative plan, I just needed safe storage for my Trike??? I received an email, telling me there was no prob, and the reception staff would look after my cycle. At 5.20, I just thought I'd prewarn Sheffield Station, that I was coming, and I would need assistance to get my Mobility Aid off the train.I was passed from Manager to manager, and eventually I was told NO!!!!...........Blighters!!! :/

I was really happy, before they said that, it had done marvels for my confidence and Wellbeing.

Me grumble???.......Never!!

It was never there!!

Peace :)

I miss Nick Blood :)

I have taken Holly on the doggy attatchment, down to the woods today. Hey I look like a Regular dirt biker, Ziggy is filthy :) I'm quite proud of her being muddy, not so chuffed about the doggy paws though! Mmmm Ziggys making a noise on the back wheel??? It was a bit dark to inspect, plus I suffer from a condition known as 'Hand on the door' (its when you want to Wee, as soon as you put your hand on the door) But in my case it's hand on the bike lock!!! It's only because it's further away!!! and I have to sprint (as if!!!!)to the toilet. So you see the chances of me pausing, hand on chin to survey the damage is very slim!!

I've done my bit, have you done yours?

I've written, and sent my Report, to the EMP, about disability travel. After Pete Z, pointed it out. and said he thought that I would have some valuable contributions to make. Hey, that's quite good that :) ?? That s'one considers my written pros to be worthy, and legible!!!So if anyone interested, they will have to contact me privately on cardouglas10@hotmail.com, because I'm not allowed to publish apparently, and I don't know if this is classed as that. So after spending all weeekend writing it, I don't want to jeopardise it's acceptance.

'Our Kev' sadly Kevin Hickman, has stepped down from being the Inclusive Cycling Forum' Chairperson. :(

I don't blame him in the slightest.

Anyone fancy writing??

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Finns Mongoose :)

I woke today, after not sleeping terribley well, I woke and felt really low as memories of the previous evenings events unfolded. Suddenly everyone wanted to know me, to pour their hearts out, and tell me their side of the story. But do you know?? I told them all to leave me alone!! To the point where I've ignored knocks on my door!!! Thats so unlike me!!? I just wanted quality time, with my kids including the 4 legged sort!!

We couldn't cycle too far in Gillfield Woods, because of the Style, and I was feeling too feeble to get 2 cycles, and a Whippet over!! But we did a couple of miles which walked the dog, and the paths in there are fantastic!!

And Happy New Year everyone, you know I can't really think of any Resolutions? I know I should lose weight, but I aqm normally happy and healthy. And my GP reckons, it would take surgery to remove my stomach, as she can tell my muscles in my tum are as tight as they are gonna get!! It comes from Cycling Lying Down!!

New Years Eve.......

There is no wonder Counsellors have Supervision, and therapy themselves! Becauase do you know? After a really busy day, visiting my Friends, and sharing wine. And dragging poor Holly (i think she loves it really) round attatched to Ziggy, and Finn sitting on my panniers, hey he's getting heavy!! I ended up meeting a couple of mates....? in the Spit. The night was young and we boogied along down, to various tunes, and as I can't dance at all, and don't ever claim to really dance, it just ended up being some sort of walking about waving arms, shouting, and singing even? the words of the songs. Not really acting like a 46 year old!! My friends proceeded to fall out, with slaps, drinks over heads.....much abuse.....it was like being at a Youth Club!!

I left, bringing an extra child back, the time was 11.30pm. So I had a lonely midnight!! :(

In fact I ended up in tears, because an unsuspecting very young man had asked me when my Baby was due!!, I just smiled and said 10years ago!!

I lent my ear to so many folk yesterday. New Years Day, was gonna be different!!!
