Interesting times

So, life was trundling along with not much happening because of Covid, playing cards twice a week with friends and neighbours, walking mostly on roads and tracks to avoid the mud.  Judy has had both doses of the Pfizer vaccine but then Chris had a disaster. 

Descending a 2km hill on his bike at between 60 and 70 km/h he was hit by a deer.  All 7 ribs on the left either broken or cracked, broken left collar bone, then an operation to remove a huge haematoma on his left thigh.  Seventeen days in hospital where the French system worked well and free, but Judy was only allowed two visits a week, again because of Covid.

The helmet saved my brain, or what's left of it, and the bike was in a much better state than me.  Slowly mending but moving the left arm is still difficult.  Have had to employ a gardener.  But at least I should see my 70th birthday!  Pressie is a new helmet.
