The new forum.
The old forum.
Having a big bonfire tomorrow night.
Being able to afford not having to visit the food bank as often as I have been.

I'm 52. It's the result of a cam acetabular impingement. I'd have had it done last year, but a fall from a bike set up a soft tissue injury (a morel lavalee lesion....) that has refused to heal, so they need to involve a plastic surgeon to manage the wound.
I had my snack, it was tasty.
Now I have nothing to look forward to any more.
*sadface*
Going to Scarborough tomorrow! I love the coast when it's cold.
Something truely historic before the end of March 🙂 (sorry couldn't help myself)
2017 will see some major changes personally and really looking forward to them
Knee surgery and rehab will hopefully go smoothly
2nd daughters wedding
Annual works xmas MTB ride tomorrow. Everyone brings leftover cake and we ride in big circles, returning to the cars to eat cake every lap, until we're knackered and bloated.
I'm looking forward to going on some decent length walks with my dog when she is fully grown (currently 6 months old).

Our business hopefully doing well in 2017. In the balance at the moment.
Generally hoping 2017 will be better than 2016. Had some tough challenges this year.
Walking/lying/sitting with less pain as rehab progresses.
Maybe riding a bike again. That would be extraordinarily satisfying.
Also looking fwd to giving dad a minty retro nitanium mtb for birthday.

Retirement 😛
> A few days away to a nice holiday cottage on the east coast of scotland.
> Getting back to spending weekeends at the caravan, and accompanying walks and trips to the pub. Won't be able to go all of January due to various reasons
> A week at the caravan in February with hopefully lots of mountain biking, caravan is opposite Dalbeattie 7 stanes..
> Riding to and from work in daylight, riding approx 160 miles a week in the dark is hard going
> Spring
> A week in Spain at the beginning of April
> Paying off our mortgage
> Subsequent increase in disposable income due to the above
That takes me up to April and will do for now.
