59 to 60 part 7

 .

Welcome to part 7 and as you can see by this photo i used to be a big Star Trek fan 😂 long time ago, on we go and today i am in garden as still bit sore but may be out on bike tonight. I want to clear a bit of my garden to see if there is a way to get a garden shed or as i call it my man shed oh aye might even have a bar in it depending what i can get so that will be my start to this day. Well it started with a fantastic bacon roll 🥓 man that was a great way to start a day. So onto the garden and to clear a big bit where i am hoping to put a shed, it took a while as there was a lot of stuff to move and to bag and take to tip but did manage well and also with the help of a fire 🔥 

As you can see from the photo two bags full and lot of loose stuff to go in car for tip, wash glad to get this done as back of the garage has been a bit of a mess for a while now and every year i keep saying this will be the year to clear this mmm well this was the year, have still bit to do but hoping to get boy (Dave’s Sheds) to come down and have a look to see if he would manage to fit a shed in this space went to see him today but he had already closed so call tomorrow 

Have spoken to Dave before and his sheds look great and there made to spec so would be good if can get him down soon. Visit to Arbroath today but not before we went to see the hairy coos and there calf’s so we decided to stop and have a cuppa beside them and they were right across but unfortunately there was a sign saying not to feed them but did manage few photos.

                                                               Coos and the calf’s

We then headed to Arbroath to do wee bit of shopping and then go to Helens mums grave to make sure it was tidy and everything there was ok which it was. Decided to drive back through the country as it was such a nice and sunny day, we had bought our neighbour flowers and card and some sweets as she starts her new job tomorrow and we stood for a while and chatted, a real nice couple Dale and Nikita, she has come over from Canada 🇨🇦 to stay which can’t be easy at times as she has left her family and friends but sh seems to have settled here and as i say there a really nice couple and always willing to stand and chat. So back home and that’s Monday done just bit of tv now i am hoping to get few miles on bike tomorrow if weather holds out it be good to get another 30 to 35miles mmm we shall see.

Well today did start good but was a bit colder managed to get a 26mile cycle in today but i am noticing that after 25-20miles my arm becomes really sore but on the up side doctor is phoning Thursday with results of X-ray and hopefully next step to getting this sorted. Cycle today was an old favourite up carrot hill and back by Inverarity head towards Wellbank turning off to Monikie and back home via Drumsturdy road, some good views from top of the carrot.

Was low cloud but Clova mountains still in view, never stopped long here as rain had come on during climb up and did look like it would come on heavy but thankfully it did not so no soggy arse today. Is nice around these parts i cycled today and as i left bit earlier the roads were fairly quiet. There was a wind but did not seem to hamper me in any way. Had a wee rest on way back and managed a few photos.

Soon as the two pigs saw me that are in this photo they were right across snorting away. So was not a bad start. The rain did come on this afternoon so was not much else to do apart from yup you guessed it shopping, but good news our First Minister has given the green light for more to open from this Friday bars and restaurants but with time limits which is fine as we can now see a light at the end of the tunnel and leats hope nothing goes wrong. So that’s it for today all in all not to bad given the current situation lets see what tomorrow brings.

                                                                             21/4/21

Well not to bad a day sunny was out but still bit cold. Started day off with another small cycle run 15miles as had couple of other things on today. Not very exciting but was good to get the miles in and unfortunately arm was still sore. Some nice photos though.

Never took to long but did feel a bit slower today at one stage going uphill not particularly big climb i started blowing a fair bit mm but in saying that i did swallow a fly that came straight back out again. I did enjoy but hoping this was a one off. Having done my exercise it was time for a wee jaunt to look at some man sheds through near St Madoes, saw a few i liked at not bad prices but one in particular a potting shed but hey who says you need to pot in a potting shed 😂 it was bloody great but someone had put there name on it and was going to make his mind up by 5pm today and if the guy had not heard anything by then it would be mine..... man came in while we were there and decided he was going to take it blood great just missed out on a really good shed for a good price but no meant for me. So back to looking see what turns up. Had cuppa while up there and some braw views and trees had flowered as well.

So not a bad day really something we bit different even managed to buy some plants to put in pots for summer. Back home now getting ready to listen to my team on the radio hoping they can get a win tonight against Killie but another shite plastic pitch 🤞. So back to work for next 3 days so next bit of this blog will probably be Sunday. 

    

                                                                                  25/04/21

Well good morning and as i finished the last bit of this blog we got humped 3-0 from killie and it is now on to today and live tv match DUFC V SHEEP Scottish cup and I don’t know what to expect we shall just have to wait and see. Good week and last 3 days work has been fine was moved to Perth Renal for couple of days due to staff shortages then last shift back in Ninewells. I have heard back from my doctor as well and they think i have repetitive strain in my arm and i know have to get a steroid jab to sort this which i am hoping is sooner rather than later as my arm is sore and i just want it sorted so i can get more miles a in on bike and lift some weights and just get back to doing all the things i enjoy. I have decided to force myself to stay of bike for couple of days in the hope i get this appointment this week so today i shall be in the garden just tidying things up then it will be the game and may even have a walk at some point.

Last night was quiet night had couple of beers and watched a bit of Telly but did feel bit weary and bit sore as i decided not to take any painkillers after 1300hrs and may try again today just to give my body a break. So out i go and see what happens today.

Back in from garden ready for the match, green house back up plants potted and bit of a tidy up so all good mmm for the minute it is now in United’s hands how the rest of this day goes, truthfully though yes i want to see them go further in the cup nut if it does not happen today then it will be time to build for next season so no matter what happens we can push on hopefully.  Helen now out putting food out for the birds 🦅 then she is off out as she does not want to see the game and i have to say I can’t blame her as we are not the easiest team to watch 😂.

Well as it sits at half time we are 2-0 up but really we should be at least 4 really have played the dons of the park i feel it could be a long second half. Woohoo final score 3-0 to the Tangerines a great performance from every player today and i know feel a wee beer should be had..

So couple beers in garden and may have a wee dram tonight as well to celebrate a good game and my team going back to Hampden park for semi final fair to say been a good Sunday for not leaving house/garden.

And now onto to tea a nice chilli and garlic bread, as things start to open again tomorrow we hope to get away soon for few days which hopefully will improve my blog. So ends this part and onto part 8.
