Wet wet wet
Photo from Andyrob’s photostream No not the band, the weather in London at the moment. Don’t get me wrong we need a lot of rain right now, the garden is parched after a particularly dry April, and my wife is pleased as punch that she’s not having to water all of her plants… but why … Continue reading
Home again…
Well I’m not one for cliches but it’s certainly been an eventfull week not only for JTR but especially me. If you haven’t heard already (tongue firmly in cheek seeing how Matt has gone into Fleet Street overdrive…) I’ve broken a bone in my leg and ruptured some ligaments in my ankle. A nice balance. … Continue reading
Home safe and sound
Well that’s it. Patrick is home safe and sound – he’s got his leg up in the air and a dog that is really happy to see him! We’re all very relieved that the man himself is home, and we’re crossing everything for a speedy recovery so he can get straight back on the bike. … Continue reading
Patrick out tomorrow
Patrick is still feeling a little groggy after all his meds, which isn’t very nice at all. He’s up and about on crutches, which is very positive news, but still feeling under the weather. I think it’s all catching up with him now and he’s starting to feel a little poorly, which is to be … Continue reading
1 plate, 7 screws!
Patrick has a dirty great big slab of metal in his leg – 1 metal plate with 7 screws holding it in. We’ve been down to see him this afternoon and he’s in fine spirits! Took him some reading material, and some fresh strawberrys. Also been glad to hear that you can get over this … Continue reading
2 pins and a plate
The news is in – Patrick’s operation has gone well. There was some ligament damage and it sounds as if more pins were needed than initially thought. But the important thing is that the operation went well and with any luck our fellow traveller will be out tomorrow – crutches and plaster complete. The only … Continue reading
Operation this morning
Patrick is heading down for an operation this morning to pin the bone, and see if there’s any damage to his ligament. We’re all crossing everything here that it’s nothing more simple than a pin, if it’s a plate then Russia may be off for him. It’s something none of us want, but if anyone … Continue reading
Breaking News
Patrick has broken his leg. Yes you’ve read right. He was involved in a small accident this morning, which left him sitting in A&E with an x-ray of a cleanly broken right fibula. More news as soon as we have it – at this point he’s still in hospital and we think he’ll be in … Continue reading
The velvet highways of the Land of My Fathers.
Fully loaded the CBF600 is starting to feel like she’s wallowing, and frankly unless I get more training, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing all the way to Moscow. The problem I think is a simple one of too much weight combined with too little experience sledging around pristine Welsh tarmac right into the heart … Continue reading
