Surely there's someone nearby who can provide with an emergency cable LD? Call out to the club??

It's ok, a new one is only £5.99 (seems rather cheap, but reviews say it works well) and arrives tomorrow TeeBee (I said it was only a 'minor' disaster :-) ) I'll use strava on my phone when I bike over to my friend's tomorrow.

We do rely on our garmins a lot done we, well I do 😁

Not much advice really, was given a steroid injection in my worse hand, he is pretty sure I have

Tendinitis in my thigh, could feel any lumps or other reasons and made me yelp at one point.

The only good thing is running is supposed to help in little chunks but need to tell me big toe that 😂

Oh no Mandy, but at least you know and won't waste time treating something it isn't.

Exactly Carp - although the hand that had the steroid jab in is so blooming painful tonight, but as advised it would be. Have delayed tomorrow's swim until Thursday as I really want to try for 2 miles

:-( Hope you get sorted MM :-)

After a bit of a yawn day at work, I was pleased I got off my butt and did my gym session, although instead of doing a 10 min cooldown after on the cross-trainer, I wandered to the local park and did a couple of loops. Good start to the week. The weights are mean, they make me ache.

MM - commiserations. I get quite a bit of pain in some of the joints in my right hand. "Keep active" (as far as possible) is surely good advice.

ITG - intrigued by your question about numbers in Danish. ATM, Youngest Son is on the phone to his (Danish) wife, but I'll ask him when he's ask-able.

ITG - he's now off the phone. Says there's some difficulty with ordinal numbers (? 50th, 71st, etc.). Then explained that the cardinal numbers also go a bit odd in places; but in the same way that they do in Welsh, of which he is a fluent speaker, so perhaps he thought nothing of it when he found that Danish didi it too.

French too, but that's not one of his languages.
