Gosh! you two are always so busy,,which is great to hear about but makes me feel lasy!  Really pleased to see that Jane is still keeping up, if not ahead!  I have just been to visit "private" hospital today, but being a little deaf when they called "paul" I went in to see a completely unfamilair doctor for a non relevant condition until we both realised I might be a bit deaf, so went back to the waiting room to continue reading (and await my proper turn) about Wallace and Grommit, or Ed and Ed of the LabourParty, thinking for the first time in my voting life, what will I do next May???  Anyway had my time with the consultant after a "priveate paid" cup of coffee..we are segregated so that those "others" in the waiting room aren'allowed a coffee!!!
I have decided, and this is where I ask the input of your thousands of readers, I want to buy a new bike, since I hardly use the car as I am now at home full time and I need to get fit.  I would like to resolve not to use the expensive car for a few months....I wish/hope..may even sell it...how many cars does a family need when one is retired  (Is that a survey I've just started??).
Anyway, I am not as brave as the above may seem....I am looking for a battery bike...one where you can peddle once and then cruise 15 miles.....I have been told by a "friend" better off getting a mobility scooter!  If any of your friends have experience a power bike re brands or what to look out for...happy to see on the blog.
take care, paul etc x
