Back again

After inspecting the damage of the last 8 months I’m finally back, well not as back as I’d like to have been as I seem to have lost 2 years of posts. However my posting frequency over those years was like my pay rise from Capita – none existent. I won’t mention the latter too much, but the reasons for fixing the blog where at the request of a ‘guest’ poster – who I still don’t know who they are.

So, new start new look?

Actually it’s a default look due to incompatibilities with the old wordpress theme and SQL/PHP/Moon phase etc.

Anyway, you might want an update – it’s a bit like those shitty round robin Christmas messages you get from people who you see once every 20 years. So…..

I guess I should start not with the blog, but a personal thing. Back in August, co-incidentally when the blog stopped (although no actual link) my Mom died. She was terminal with Throat Cancer for a 8 months or so. It happened suddenly (if 8 months can be regarded as sudden) so it’s still 7 months on taking a while to get over it all. Needless to say the family are still upset about it, but that’s life I guess. Not great, but you have to carry on. Mom wouldn’t have wanted the fuss to be honest.

So that over, me time. Last year was my big triathlon year – plenty of events paid for – back in March/April started to up my training then bang. Actually it was a scrape of metal and tarmac. I was hit by a car, ‘super manned’ over the bonnet and landed with the left wrist taking most of the pain.

Broken wrist – 9 months on it still hurts!

As you can see not the normal wrist position.

The Bike didn’t look too damaged, but……

Seat post damage
Damaged mud guard, lights, forks (slight bend)

…seat isn’t that comfortable anymore.   Fair enough the guy that hit me, he’s acknowledge it’s his fault and the insurance company have accepted liability.

Anyway – the monumental announcement….

My Broadband Speed Test

I have Fibre!!!!!!!!! Years of having a moan at Openreach finally paid off.

So update rant over. I’ll look at changing the layout of the blog eventually I just wanted it back.
