Just thought I'd share this with the orgville.
Set the alarm to wake me up early as it was quite icey last night in case I needed to travel to work on the tram. As predicted it was crappy this morning so set off on the 10min walk to the tram stop. 06:00 - heading out the door - fairly cold & dark, ipod blasting out some tuneage. ![]() 06:05 - trudging over the playing fields - dog heading towards me at speed. ![]() 06:06 - yelling from owner as one of her x3 dogs bite me on the ass. ![]() 06:07 - crying owner sobbing how sorry she was. ![]() 06:11 - bleeding (not too much) and limping onto the tram. ![]() 07:00 - got to work told story to anyone who would listen. ![]() 07:03 - I commented on no-one offering me a sympathy cup of tea. ![]() 07:04 - got shouted for not taking owners details (re destroy dog). ![]() 07:05 - explained I was not mortally wounded & that would be an over reaction. ![]() 07:10 - cup of tea (thanks). ![]() 09:10 - called doctors, appointment at 11:50. ![]() 11:00 - after rushing about all morning (busy day) missed tram to docs. ![]() 11:59 - Got scowled at by receptionist at doctors. ![]() 12:03 - Nurse administered tetenus jab & doc then gave me a prescription. ![]() 12:07 - in chemist wondering why it's cost me £7.20 for some anti-biotics. ![]() 12:08 - wishing I'd got the owners details (not to kill dog but to get a refund). ![]() 13:05 - after walking home & rushing dinner I GOT ON THE BIKE. ![]() 13:06 - everything is well, wind rushing in my helmet. ![]() 13:16 - even though I'm heading back to work, I'm on the bike so it's all goooood. ![]() 16:12 - heading home, filtering, big smile, ass hurts, but it's all good. ![]() Basically, if I'd ridden my bike (despite the ice), my ass would not be aching and my wallet would be £10.20 up (£3 tram fare plus ass medicine). Thought I'd share. Anyone else had a 'should have ridden' story? |

Some are stayingover in the lake district on the saturday night , you've possibly missed that boat now (worth a go though ! their numbers posted somewhere to book). Bunch of us riding round on the saturday and most likely sunday - I'll probably bottle it if the weathers really bad though - praying for a day like today!.
