I know, sorry - but I'm back :D

A busy week off work (back to work today for a rest!), shed building and wotnot.... got a bit of time on the bike too, it's the big ride this weekend and I don't feel anywhere near ready. Oops.

Next year the little fella might be joining me, spent some of my holiday rebuilding a kids bike for him (I got given it for free and although it's a little big for him he can reach the pedals so what the heck) and fitting stabilisers to it.

He had never riden a bike before (he's not 3 for another month) and he was riding like a pro in a matter of minutes! Zipping around and having a ball... great stuff. Me running around like a mad thing keeping up with him, couldn't have done that 9 months ago!

Which brings me to my "milestone". This is now, by just over a week, the longest quit ever. I have now been smoke free for longer than any previous time since I was 12. And I feel so good it's just amazing.... the difference in me is astonishing.

Hi Stuart :D

So back at work for a rest eh after your busy week at home and cycling ready for the big race next week

Glad little fella enjoyed himself with his bike and can imagine you running around like a mad thing with him and no you couldn't have done that 9 months ago

I remember teaching you to ride many years ago without stabilisers oh boy did I puff and pant

Well done on your longest ever quit soon be in the penthouse now

Love
