I now have one Greta Garbo cheekbone
Out on the bike yesterday ( by myself- how's THAT for turning over a new leaf?)
I over wobbled on a slow manoeuvre and had a bit of a mishap with a bit of undergrowth
Co-ordination has never been one of my strengths
Undeterred ....I will be out and about again this afternoon
Oh no.. Take care John!
ReplyDeleteYou're a good match for the hydrangea though..
You and Chris Froome John. x
ReplyDeletewhat is to become of this new john? le tour de france next year perhaps?
ReplyDeleteDo be careful John, you wouldn't want to break a hip at your age.
ReplyDeleteWe want to see a photo of you in Lycra... don't we???
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure I could take it.
DeleteCheeky cow
DeleteI think that would have been 'Cock-Handed', Rachel.
Delete'mishap with a bit of undergrowth'. Euphemism for falling into a shrub.
ReplyDeleteWear your wounds with pride.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell anyone what happened ... lie .... tell people you got attacked!
ReplyDeleteOw! Don't get a matched pair today!
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to re-enact what I tell you about the Tour John; I believe you anyway.x
ReplyDeleteIm sorry, is it wrong to laugh? What do you expect, im an Aussie.
ReplyDeletea little x on it and it will be allll better
ReplyDeletePoor you, getting fit is a disaster. Get Winifred to kiss it better.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you like?! Hope it's not too sore and you have no further altercations with the undergrowth today!
ReplyDeleteLow speed is so dangerous, my last tumble on the bike was when I was coming to a stop in Chicago, heal fast.
ReplyDeleteI had to choose between a bramble and a ditch full of nettles this morning. I ducked and headed straight through the bramble. Just a slight scratch to my left arm. Keep going John (Alberto kept going with a broken tibia yesterday in the Tour de France)! It's great exercise.
ReplyDeleteWear a helmet!
ReplyDeleteHe did one day....
DeleteThat happened to me the last time I tried to get on a bike. Don't let that stop you, now you've actually overcome the barrier. But, watch out for the eggs in the basket.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Last I got on a bike it was my elbow....banged up pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI cannot balance.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Oh no. it happens to us all. I went over on gravel in May, hurt my pride a lot. hope it doesn't hurt! keep on biking
ReplyDeleteJust as well you were on your own. I can just imagine the look on Chris's face, the eyebrow would have been up to his hairline.
ReplyDeleteYou have to keep a sharp eye on the shrubs - they will jump in front of you every chance they get.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have sympathy for you, whatever it was it was better than landing on the back of your head onto a rotting stoat corpse...don't ask!
ReplyDeleteJohn, all part of the learning process. Ask any kid!
ReplyDeleteAnd the lycra will make all the difference in the world....give them a try, I dare you!
ouch
ReplyDeletePoor you…keep on riding that bike!! It will all be alright when you get more used to it!
ReplyDeleteOuch. And as a fellow klutz I winced in rueful recogniton.
ReplyDeleteMy word there is no stopping you now!
ReplyDeleteThat's the spirit!
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages since i've been on a bike. Before bike helmets were invented, i tumbled off my cousin's bike (front tyre came off when i applied the brakes), and that wasn't a pleasant day. I didn't move my bike to the new place, and have wondered if i should take it up again.
