The photo of the Geese in the road reminded me of a trip to York, 9 years ago, when we saw these using a Pelican crossing.
I'm not kidding when I say they stood on the side of the road until the lights changed & the traffic stopped before they crossed the road!   :icon_exclaim:
For those that know York, that's The Clifford Tower to the right.

Yesterday 13:30 I ruptured my left Achilles Tendon by using the wrong foot to lift the bike on the centre stand.
Don't worry, the bike is fine.

Absolutely outstanding care from Bassetlaw Hospital, I arrived at 14:00 and I was home before 16:30.

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Last year I broke my foot while in Spain, it didn't take long to mend but I think tendon's take longer. Be patient and take it easy on it and do as the medics say would be my advice. Get well soon, the best bike season is just starting.   :thumb:

TLP - that is most unfortunate. I hope you make the best possible recovery very soon.

 :lala: it's such a relief being "out".

Much worse things happen to others, I am in a very fortunate position not to have to worry about work and stuff.
It's a bugger, but realistically that's all.

We've just taken delivery of a double case (24 bottles) of wine from Naked Wines! We had a few vouchers, credits and a refund so the whole lot cost under £100 to the door - bargain  :dance:

If there's one thing I'm not short of it's a little whine.
