I seem to be heading towards owning the entire LP support brace catalogue.

I'm finding I'm prone to cold. I was wearing gloves on the hill yesterday - and no-one else was.

my feet are. Right one gets cold first.

Surfing in warmest boots on the market and just about managable for now through winter.

Considering some of those heated ski socks for riding in winter.

I find that I'm getting forgetful and repeat myself without realizing it.

Twice now I’ve been offered the OAP rate at the barber 🙄

I don't get offered it, they just give me it. I probably qualify at 64 unless they are real meanies, but it would be nice to be asked.

My consultant telling me that the deterioration of my eyesight has no viable procedure.
Oh, and making a noise sitting down and standing up.

I do have a habit of just absentmindedly putting things down, and then not being able to find it/them. I used to do it with my car keys, but since I put an AirTag on them I’ve not mislaid them, oddly enough…

I’ve got a whole collection of cheap reading glasses, most are in front of me on my coffee table, so they’re easy to find,  but now I don’t need prescription glasses, I’m taking advantage of having built up a large collection of sunglasses; trouble there is finding various favourite ones, and especially not putting them in a jacket or a bag and forgetting which. I did aquire a bunch of Tile trackers with replaceable batteries, so I’ve put those inside various cases, so I can make them bleep loudly now.

Have you looked on top of your head?

Classic, that, I’ve done it, and knocked a pair of fairly new ones off on a tree branch and damaged the lenses… 😖

I’m prone to cold.

My mum's currently in hospital, I took the opportunity to launder all her bedding in her absence.

It took me three loads to get through everything that was on her bed, and that's not including two duvets.

Have you looked on top of your head?

Two "late for work because..." moments:

1) I couldn't find my work phone, "what are you talking to me on right now?" Ah, shite.

2) I couldn't find my car keys, because as it turned out after a fairly extensive they were in my other hand.

Happily singing along to a track on the radio and being impressed that I'm still word perfect, only to realise that it's Steal My Girl by One Direction, which was drummed into my brain when they were big and my daughter was too young to know better.

The other guys in the gym were suitably impressed.

I lost my phone this weekend. For 10 minutes. Then I found it in my left jeans pocket... And I'd only looked in my right. I always put it in my right pocket, andy wallet in my left. What possessed me to deviate from this is a mystery.

A day out at BPW today. Felt off-the-boil. Kept clipping my handlebars / pedal strikes / generally being a bit untidy.

At lunch, my son suggested I ride in my recently acquired glasses. Why? I thought, I only really need those to read road signs at distance. / watch TV across the room etc.

Rode like a boss this afternoon. Bugger.
