Would have been Dad's 86th birthday today. Instead I'm meeting a humanist minister to plan the running order for his forthcoming funeral. I must remember he's in a better place, wherever that may be, after the ravages of Alzheimer's. 💙

So... 9 years ago today I was lying in Cardiac ICU at York District after a heart attack whilst cycling. Most grateful for the treatment I got and thought it appropriate to celebrate. Cheers one and all.

@JonWalters19 @barneyvanbasten To give a bit of further perspective, I had a gastroscopy on the same day. Tube down the throat was way worse than the one up the ass. Fortunately they gave it a rinse in between...

Earlier this year I dropped my phone and smashed the screen... Bought a new one... Guess what... All my WhatsApps, photos, emails etc , etc, etc transferred across to my new phone... Not one disappeared... Not even the COVID jab appointment ones... Strange but true.

I've been struggling of late with a couple of health issues. It was pretty damned good to go out and Bimble 35 miles on my bike this morning. Even more pleasing my BP post ride was 111/81 and my resting pulse is in the 50's.

@franz_elphick @SH20CPFC Apart from the hideous area that away fans get. In my youth, b4 the Park End was redeveloped, they always got that end. Seemed unfair in some ways that visitors were thrown in the most dilapidated section. Then I had a couple of trips to SJP and climbed those stairs...

@DW1878 Can't understand why either Toffees or Mags are arguing here. We are cut from the same cloth. So my lot have won lots more historically, but there's no getting away from the fact Toon get big crowds and have a terrific away following. Wednesday night in January is not a fair comp

Just had a full English cooked very ably by somebody else (hotel chef). Rounded it off with a round of buttered toast with blackcurrant jam. Copious black tea helped it down and now feel set up for a very good day. Going for a wander around Skipton before a spot of Grandpa-ing.
