There's an inevitable tinge of sadness, reading this post, and I'm sure it'll be repeated every time I read one of Anna's updates.

I wrote about the first day’s ride on the Ride for Tim website timcyclesthecoast.com/2025/08/03/d...

Day one: Land’s End to Redruth

It’s £10.99 for a photo at the signpost. Tim would have scoffed at that, and all this commercialisation at Land’s End. It’s like a holiday resort, and not a nice one. Tourists queue to have t…

The blood test was done by Occupational Health due to working where I do. I don't know how you'd get it done otherwise.

I also had a second MMR jab on Monday (because the recommendation is now two doses): it was almost painless and my arm hasn't been sore at all.

And tomorrow is Flu Jab day.

“Using a wheelchair and mobility scooter allows me to pace and manage my pain."

This is a lovely account from Amanda on learning to pace during activity and how she uses a variety of mobility aids at different times to manage chronic conditions.

That sounds pretty good to me.

I am profoundly disappointed in my immune system.

I vividly remember having chicken pox when I was nine years old. It was a miserable week.

But a blood test shows I no longer have antibodies.

I've therefore been booked to have a Varicella vaccination at Occupational Health.

It's booked in for Wednesday. I promise to provide updates.

That's a stunningly perfect rose.

I bet you're not as slow as me. I am not built for speed.

I've booked it in with my bicycle repair man. I sent him the same video and he was also puzzled.

A good knife blade is definitely worth the effort of a new handle.

You beat me to it.

Pharmacist on a Pushbike @ppushbike.bsky.social · 1d

Oof! How did you do that?

Hope it feels better soon.

Everything seems to be securely attached.

I had a dream last night that I was cycle instructing and bolts just started dropping off my bike all over the place, so my bike was surrounded by a mountain of bolts in the middle of a school playground.

My analogue bike is making an irregular creaky clicking noise. What is it???

(Sound on, obvs)

I'll be annoyed if it is, because it was serviced in the summer.

They're all secure.

Pedalling and freewheeling and when pushing the bike with a bit of pressure on the saddle.

Mudguards and rack are securely attached.

Pharmacist on a Pushbike @ppushbike.bsky.social · 1d

It's definitely neither of those.

I'm quite glad I'm not doing any vaccinations clinics this season.

Pharmacist on a Pushbike @ppushbike.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, your asthma definitely makes you eligible for a flu jab. So if the plan was to get both done at one appointment then it's still worth going.

It works for me without a subscription.

I guess it's a good option if you don't want the rack on all the time. Horses for courses.

What's the bike? You were eyeing up a Spa Cycles recently.
