Bugger I actually went with them this year for the first year ever on one of the bikes as it was ridiculously cheap and I was very last minute. I'd always boycotted them.

Lost my left earplug. My left ear has also become completely blocked since swimming last night.
These are both really gripes but I don't need the ear plug because of not being able to hear anything so trying to see the positive

No doubt different people will have different experiences with insurance companies but I use Bikesure through MAG.

I also realise this isn't a smile of the day but you should be careful with blocked ears, it can lead to tinnitus which is a ba***rd . I suffered for a while before I had microsuction to remove wax from my ears. The last time I went to hospital a few weeks ago for a hearing test the audiologist couldn't do it because my ears were blocked again. I stopped riding with ear plugs for a while because they can compact the wax but am using them again after using sodium bicarbonate and olive oil drops to clear the ears a bit.
They also say hearing loss can contribute to dementia so it shouldn't be ignored. Sorry for going on a bit.

I have tinnitus, had it for as long as I can remember. Now I've mentioned it I can hear it louder than before.

Employers have ordered my workwear, when that arrives the work scheduler will be in contact to get going with shifts.


Was also granted my CCTV licence this morning ��
