Went for a short cycle ride today, through Staddiscombe, Staddon Heights and Jennycliff, then back to Elburton after dinner at Mum's, for the first time since I did my neck in two years ago.
It felt good, but the bike needs a load of maintenance...here's to the next ride!

Back to work

Going back to work tomorrow because my sickpay has been cocked up and I can't afford to take the risk that it might be sorted soon. Never work for First Devon & Cornwall!!

Tramadol

I hate taking tablets, etc., in general, but these fuckers are awful.
Tramadol is a central nervous system pain reliever that makes my head spin and has nearly caused me to faint on several occasions.
My doctor prescribed me these on Tuesday, after I told him that I did not want the mind-bending Dicloflenac Sodium.
He also prescribed me a ten-day sicknote; this I do like...

"A funny thing happened to us on the way to the future. The internet went from being something exotic to being boring utility, like mains electricity or running water – and we never really noticed. So we wound up being totally dependent on a system about which we are terminally incurious." John naughton, The Observer.

Bad back

Off work today with a bad back; I only managed an hour or two sleep lastnight and can't get back to sleep.
I have tried Nurofen and Dicloflex (dizzy-ing and vomit-inducing) but to no effect...doh!
