Into Another Year

Last year was a settling down year as I had no major trauma during it.  I have come to accept that I am no longer as fit as I think I should be and am not over exerting myself.  My GP has me on a monthly examination routine with blood tests every three months, a major check up every six months and an annual eye test.  This is to check my type two diabetes and my AF.  Luckily I am keeping OK although my blood sugar levels are creeping up which is normal as diabetes is a progressive disease.

Helen went home early in December and I have settled back into my normal life style except that I had several more MOW deliveries as Christmas approached due to several other volunteers going off on their summer holidays.  MOW closed over Christmas and we had to deliver frozen meals to cover the break.  They actually start deliveries again today but my first scheduled round is on Friday,

I have been doing my normal Saturday Morning bicycle ride with the Sunshine Coast Bicycle Touring Club and also using my cheap bike for shopping around Noosa and Tewantin.  The computer club was in recess in December but starts again this week.

I spent Christmas Day at Joan and Bill's as I have done for the last two years.  It was even quieter than last year as Joan is jut getting over a broken bone in her foot which has taken ages to heal.  I enjoyed their company but I think Louis was a bit bored.

Since Christmas I have done couple of bike rides around the Noosa Hinterland and had coffee in Cooroy.  I think that I am riding well up to about 50Km but get very tired after that.  Today I went shopping at our local Aldi Store just for small items but got sucked in to buy one of their specials.

That is a Queen Size Quilt  bun-geed onto my shopping back which contains two Quilt Cover Sets and dog food.

Note the front tire is also flat and I had to walk the last 2Km home.  It's over 30C at present so it was a warm walk but interestingly enough I quite enjoyed it.  The flat tire is now fixed and Louis is begging for his lunch to goodbye and Happy New Year to you all.
