After 6 months of doing no aerobic exercise, through being either in hospital, or banned from gym/ transferring at all, I’ve finally got into my Trike.

The immediate problem was that as I can no longer  bend forward/ crunch any abdominals at all, I was at completely the wrong angle ( declined way too far back ) meaning I couldn’t get any power into pushing the levers.

A massive pillow behind my back was the solution, tho without any ab crunch I am a lot less effective than I was.

No matter, I’ll get used to it, I’m sure.

What was great, was having some bloody self propulsion after all this time spent being pushed.

Additionally, all the jerking around seems to have made me burp about 15 times – and that’s a lot of extra  trapped intestinal gas/air that’s now floating over Chiswick like a Victorian Smog.

Brilliant to see Skippy Watson- a blast from the past – and for an Australian a nice bloke.  He and I have a connection that I won’t go into, well I will unless he pays hush money into my account by the end of the month.

And I went to the dentist and had a massive molar filling replaced – it fell out 4 months ago. They now do white fillings as a default, it would seem? That’s a good development!
