"Yesterday's Pornography #3"

Box Hill Cows & Me, April 2006.


Firstly....(this is me talking......now by the way)
Bloody right arm is playing me up! The elbow!! Went out up to the Hills for a few hours with Lee in the rain and dark Friday night (last night). That probably didn't help much. Met a bloke from Peaslake (lucky bastard) who told us about a mountain biker who died up there a while ago! Did a drop in that was......well.......too steep! And Lee learned in the week since our visit there on Sunday that on the Saturday before a bloke smahed his face in on a tree whilst attempting the drop-ins we were at on Sunday........I saw the video....not nice! Our ride tonight was good though......bloody warm! 14 degrees.....thats not normal is it? They reckon it will be freezing by late next week. About time too!
Got another coldsore breaking through on my bottom lip too.
Oh, and I got some "tree" debris caught in my rear derailleur and bent the hanger! It still works, but needs replacing. There was sooo much rubbish lying around from the storm yesterday! Branches and stuff all over the place. Even driving there we came across a few trees on the roadside that had been turned into neat piles of firewood by chainsaw. Another tree down one of the tiny, narrow country lanes near Peaslake was spanning the entire road. You could see the fresh yellow insides of the tree where it had split! Luckily it was high enough for us to drive (& the bikes;) underneath safely.

Now for my pre-blog diary...

So here it is.........the third instalment in my "Yesterday's Pornography" series. I do hope you like the cows in the photo. It was quite unverving passing them by.......they didn't leave much room. They didn't even bat an eyelid either;) I can't wait for the spring to arrive again. Just around the corner:) I can smell those cows already;)

Enjoy...

Alright! RFH yesterday, had to get the train to Waterloo and then catch the Northern Line all the way to Belsize Park underground station and back again later! The Silver Link direct from Richmond was not running for some reason.
Anyway, blood results, liver results good again but white cells or something have gone bad & they kept me hanging around to check the blood results straight away to decide wether or not to reduce my dose or not. They looked at the new results and compared them with my bloods from two weeks ago and they weren't any worse and told to continue as usual and would see what next fortnights results are up to. They said that while my white blood cells are bad I am more prone to infection and bleeding! So I have to be really careful and they told me to come up immediately if I suspect that I have a chest infection! And to keep a close check on my temperature also......38 or higher. I felt fine and was quite surprised by the results. I feel completely normal if a little fluey perhaps. Nothing to cry about mind.
Lee came around last night and we just chatted. My ankle hurt too much to go hiking! Today is the Grand national. Tarn, Millie, Daisy, Naif & Mum have gone to a model village in Amersham. I am popping round to my Mums later for dinner.

My back hurts & my right wrist too. My right eye on the top lid has a stye or something irritating a bit. Going to Tescos soon with Mum. I have been watching the golf on TV in Augusta Georgia. I drove through there with Claire a few times going from Atlanta to Charleston SC & back again. I Love driving Claires car. She used to fall asleep while I did my best trying to not get lost or arrested..........speeding;)

My back is better, but my wrist is still weak! I think I may have strained it whilst lifting weights at the gym. My Mum got her new bike yesterday from "Moorbros" cycles in Twickenham. A silver "Giant" Expression £200 with a nice wicker basket.......not;) We rode from the shop to Tania's and it was very windy! We saw Millie & she made me a fake sausage sandwich out of her plastic sandwich making kit:) I took Daisy & her friend to another of her friends in Wensleydale Road, Hampton.
Lee cut my hair for me last night. Evie isn't sleeping well! I went to the gym yesterday too. Played golf over at my Dads again and won again. The stye on my eye seems to have gone.
Claire is working with the girl scouts which she is enjoying. I had my 8th Interferon Injection last night at 23:27pm.
Jac had her hair coloured yesterday & she wants food today!
Going for a bike ride on Monday with Lee, Mat & Martin. Box Hill to Betchworth Quarry (where "Blake's 7" & and "Dr Who" have been filmed in the past) and back again.
Oh, on Tania's Birthday, Tarn Millie Mum & I went to Kingston. Tania was looking for some trainers. When she eventually found some I paid for them as a gift. I got Millie some bubbles too:)
Also I got a front derailleur for "Dessret Storm" for £20 fitted. Got myself a new rear tyre as mine is going bald!

Watch yer cock! Saw my friend jac yesterday afternoon. Had a Subway each in Twickenham then got a lolly down by the river near Marble Hill House. Then we walked around Shacklegate Lane cemetery. Just to have a look at the graves. We saw the barman from "Only Fools & Horses" (Kenneth Macdonald). I used to see him in my local building society.
There was a small section for dead babies which was very sad to see! Then Jac had a 1/4 lb'er from Wimpy in Teddington. Then I popped round to Tania's to give Millie her easter egg & card because I won't see them on Sunday. They are going to the seaside.
Mark & Ria are back from Cuba. I put on my new tyre this afternoon. I am going to see my Mum later for food.
I got a nice card from Debbie thanking me for the loan of two Douglas Adams books, which she Loved.
I watched "The Empire Strikes back" last night and still enjoy it:)


Written @ 13:27pm Wednesday 19th April 2006 (the day before my 9th Interferon injection);

Went to the gym on Sunday with Jac. Had Subway on our way home.
On Monday Lee, Mat, Martin & I went for a cycle ride and had a great 3 hours of off-road mountain biking. Mat fell off once & Martin twice! They both seem ok but they were pretty nasty falls! Martin's cap was knocked off of one of his teeth! (Mat actually broke a rib in his fall and recovered in about 4-5 weeks. He didn't realise until the next day when he couldn't actually move!)
We found a dead badger and came across a whole bunch of Cows blocking the trail (see photo above). They were just sat in the middle of the track resting:) Martin got a puncture right at the end of our ride. I nearly fell off too, right near the quarry! I lost my footing on my pedals but was lucky enough (if you can call it lucky;) to land on the cross bar on my nut's! The main thing is here is that I stayed on the bike!
Went to gym yesterday & then to Tescos with Mum, who was knackered from tidying up her garden all day on Monday! She really Loves her new bike too! I am so glad she is ok on it.
Claire's Buick keeps on breaking down. I rang last night but she was stuck in her local "Kroger" car park phoning AAA.
My lip blister is still there but not any worse. I am due up at the RFH on Friday (the day after my 9th Interferon Injection). I hope my bloods are ok! Apart from the blister thingy on my lip I feel great. My Knuckles seem to be fine now.

See you next time...
