Worrying about my hernia operation in the morning tomorrow. I am totally terrified . the last hernia operation I had was a keyhole one and I was able bodied .this time it is being done the old way and I could end up in retention ect . I have been told 6 weeks recovery .

Don't worry!

I've had one done each way, and whilst the keyhole one was easier, the conventional one was no problem, either. Yes, there's a bigger zipped up bit in you, and you have to avoid straining those bits for a bit longer, but its really no major hassle. Bellringing two weeks afterwards is not advised, for example... DAHIKT...

Yes, its six weeks of not straining yourself, but I was walking about, but gingerly for the first day or so. You'll be fine!

Installing 113 important updates to Win 8.1, and this is after installing the previous 83 important ones.... I'm still slightly puzzled why they have offered me Win 10 on the laptop, but not this desktop PC. they each have their own kosher versions of Win 8.1.

Aha, I've had a thought. The bastards are possibly not offering it to owners of OEM versions of Win 8.1. How kind of them... but surely the laptop, which was bought ready installed, must also have an OEM version, I must check its number.

My laptop came with 8 installed (I went up to 8.1 straight away) while the desktop has 8.1 installed by me from a kosher retail disk. Both have been offered the upgrade to 10, as has Lt. Col. Larrington (retd.) on his Win 7 laptop.

Ullrich won.

I am trying to fettle Crusty's India bike. It came back to me, like a returning swallow.

The headset is finger-tight. Do I have a spanner to fit it? No, I do not. How very surprising.

Mole grip's maybe

Ironing, watching leTour.

I appear to have done something to the roads over there.

I probably ought not to have had beans last night.

Sitting half-melted in front of a fan & watching the TdF from Dutchland, where there are blessed folk in rain jackets; while my legs slowly stiffen after my sterling efforts this morning. Trying to keep awake. Think I'll give up.

Thought I was watching the tour but have discovered I was asleep when the Mrs. knocked on the door . . .

Wondering where my wedding ring is. I hope it's in the top drawer of my tool box as i removed it and my watch whilst dealing with a particularly filthy transmission job. Find out in the morning, hey ho . . .

Gathering stuff for a weekend camping. I am going to see if I am still too big for the Zephyros 1. However, it will be a warm weekend with no rain forecast so I'm not anticipating any problems. There is a 24 hour Tesco within a couple of hundred yards of the camp site. I probably don't even need to take a tent.

Wheelbuilding.

Oh, that Whitstable!

Kim · « **Reply #20119 on:** 09 July, 2015, 06:04:31 pm »

Is there another Whitstable?

Ruthie · « **Reply #20120 on:** 09 July, 2015, 06:06:34 pm »

Actually, no, but when you said 'wheelbuilding' I automatically thought 'oh it must be the skillshare weekend already! Whitstable must be why I decided against it!'

but, actually, I had it wrong, as usual.

As you were.

Putting GPX tracks on my Etrex in preparation for this weekend's audax adventures.

As a result of this, I found some really old GPS tracklogs on there that I didn't know I still had, so I'm uploading them to Strava and reliving the memories of rides from several years ago (and marvelling at just how flat some of those rides around York were). Now I have proof of the epic slowness of my first ever 200k!
