Depending on work load, yes! Boss has already been warned ("Is that
the one with snow?" "No, this is the one I haven't been to yet") that
I'll be unavailable unless it's really urgent.

I couldn't find it. Because it is under the table in the living room.
Oops. Mechanised is easier anyway.

I have to admit to a slight hankering but I've got visits on Wednesday
and Thursday that I can't rearrange.

Congrats :)

It's a great feeling isn't it?

I went out last Sunday for the first time in nearly 2 weeks, cos of this
blasted weather and though I don't have any of the post accident nerves
that you had (good on you for overcoming them) I also noticed that my
riding had gone to cack;
Gear changes... not smooth
Timing of gear changes... best not go there as I nearly sent myself into
the tank with one particularly badly timed example!
Lines... all over the place, though to be fair there were quite a few pot-
holes to avoid along with gravel and mud on the roads to be aware of.

Yeah !

If it's any consolation I went for a short bimble yesterday and was
accidentally flicking the high beam on all over the place, forgetting to
cancel the indicators everywhere and wobbling like a weebly wobbly. Made
it home without breaking any bones so I'd count that as a success ;-)

Trickiest part I had was fitting into my jacket, middle aged spread,
who'd have guessed it.
