Painted my front door. Little Greene paint make a tedious job slightly more bearable.

With every passing day of trotter discomfort, I'm thinking that I may be sporting an S on my footwear sooner than I think.... 8-)

After 2 years, finally got around to fixing the front derailleur cable on the tredder.
The cable itself was fine ....if a little rusty, the outer however had collapsed in spectacular fashion, and thinking back, would have pierced the love plums should I have slid forward on the top rail!
A grand total of €4 was spent on the repair

Often plantar fasciitis is caused by other muscles not functioning right. PF is a just a generic term for foot pain! So if you can find out what muscles in the legs aren't doing what they should do, you should be able to solve the foot pain

But - superfeet insoles rock (I have a collapsed arch on one foot, so I use insole anyway) and Sketchers are really comfy (too expensive for me nowadays, but I used to love them!!)

Good luck and best foot forward :D :D :D :D

It's been a bit of a week, so wfh today, thought I'd make myself a lovely banana omelette with yoghurt and mango.

Just eating and something's not right.

Forgot to add the mashed up banana to the eggs. :hmmm:

I now how an omelette with yoghurt and mango. Not quite the culinary treat I was hoping for.

Slept great, had a full English, now off to Bala, Pontcysyllte Aquaduct, then Rhiwagor waterfall. Then burgers on the barbecue, wine, beer and chill. Weather turns tomorrow, but I’ll live with it. Wales is lovely.

Amazing 5 hour enduro ride. Found great new tapas place out in the sticks.

Dip in the pool. Now chilling before I head inside to catch up on MotoGP.

Then watch footy.

Then into town :obscene-birdiedoublered:

I woke up really late (I did go to bed after midnight!! LOL) and had a brunch and then a mate dropped me down to the village at the bottom of the road so I could get the bike from the depot.

Damn, it was awesome fun to find that!! :lol: :lol: I know it's not a bike I'd want to buy, but just being able to ride on a sunny day off is AWESOME!!!

Now sorting paperwork n stuff ready for revision tomorrow - after an early bike ride :D :D :bblonde: :bblonde:

This morning I had a coffee morning at one of my churches. Helped someone with sorting 28 days of accommodation, they were in danger of being made homeless. Another family have to move by 24th Sept as they are being evicted, the husband walked out on them taking all the furniture and anything of value, leaving his two young children and wife to fend for themselves. She has got a job as a TA, but cannot make ends meet on her very small salary, so is being evicted. Trying to get something sorted for her as well.

The afternoon saw me conducting a wedding at a local church that is in interregnum and so I happily married the couple, took the document to the registrars office and went home. Walked the dog, ate a superb meal cooked by the wife and am shortly to write my sermon for tomorrows services.

Been to see The Southmartins tonight, Housemartins and Beautiful South tribute band, they were great. It won’t be long before I see Paul Heaton in concert, sadly not supported by Jacqui Abbot but the replacement, Rhiannon sounds great, well what I’ve seen of her on the Glastonbury coverage.👍

Woken slightly bleary-eyed to a shared video of me leading the staff and some begrudging customers of a local Italian restaurant in several verses of 'Tanti aguri a te', the Italian version of Happy Birthday to You, in a helium-induced squeaky voice. :oops:

Several of the staff then took turns with the balloon for further verses. I received a free glass of Averna for my troubles.

I suspect if a ring for a table again any time soon they'll be fully booked. :lol:

Saw the southmartins a few years ago and they were good. Seen Heaton and Abbott a couple of times - her voice is exceptional live. Got tickets to see Heaton and Rhiannon in Brid in November.
