So it's been extremely busy at work and I haven't had much time to do
what I want to do.  I had planned to take part in a fund raising
bicycle ride in September.  A nice 100km jaunt.  One does not just get
on one's bike and ride 100km.  A little training must be partaken to
achieve the necessary level of fitness.  I had good intentions, but
have only been able to do a 50km ride once every second week.  Not
enough.  It was causing me stress knowing I was not going to be
prepared.  I've had to withdraw - which is sad.

This weekend I am in Mansfield with my two younger brothers to be with
my father - for father's day tomorrow.  Maybe his last.  He's made
miraculous recoveries in the past, but this time he's taken a very
long time to recover, and is still in hospital after three weeks.
We'll hope for the best.
