I learnt that it's very handy going walking in the rain with a tall friend because you can hide behind them when a car splashes through a puddle  Lol |

Last week I learned that my face is in fact softer than a tree.
I had an accident on my mountain bike: Instead of using my perfectly good brakes, I managed to face plant into a passing tree and knocked myself out cold. This accident resulted in smashed front teeth & facial fractures to my upper jaw.
Now attending a load of dental appointments for reconstructive implants and bone grafts to rebuild my gob.
A whole new bit of news was that I have nerve damage in my face from Boxing as a younger lad, After a CT scan was conducted it was found that I've had facial fractures from decades ago that was never seen to or treated, So they are telling me that I don't feel much pain in my face and my sense of taste is very poor because of it. Which answers some questions like why I don't really enjoy food etc.
......I used to be a wild guy in my younger years, Now I'm too old to die young, all these silly injuries are catching up with me now.

My son taught me a few chords on the guitar today - lonely day system of a down
I don't think I will be gigging anytime in the next decade though.

I have learnt I must start carrying my walking stick. 😏 Do it. If it makes you feel conspicuous, get a folding one, if you have an address I'll send you one. That way you have it with you if you need it, and can carry it in an inconspicuous way if you don't. |

I've learnt that I don't like public swimming pools The cubicles smelt of wee - I really hope people haven't been peeing in them. There are puddles of cold water all over the floor with bits of hair in them  The chlorine makes my eyes sting, I was swimming along and a bit of hair got tangled on my fingers (not my hair!). My son found a hair band on the bottom of the pool and fished it out and something brushed against my leg; I don't know what it was but it didn't make me feel smiley! I think I need to find a nice person with their own pool that will let me in it lol xx |

Still it could have been worse than a hair band at the bottom of the pool. |
