Ok so November has just past. Probable not one of my grater months this year. It had some really good hi points, and on the other hand it a few lows.
As I’m one of these people who doesn’t really see the point in good news first lets start with the LOW.
I only made it to about 3 training sesions, due to a number of facter mostly life getting in the way. On one occation I was in england removing the computer from a company that had gone under. Missed another two training sessions due to have a havey cold and I couldn’t breath while walking let along trying to run. The rest tie in not so nicely with november.
What else went wong. Last week I fell off my beloved motorbike. OK so it the replacement bike I’m riding while mine get the engine over hall, bit I love that bike as well, it is ssssooooo sweet to ride and is a bit of a huligan when its want to be.
Anyway I fell off due to hitting the brakes to hard. I took my eyes off the road for a split second in rush hour traffic and then i look back the brake lights of the 4X4 in front came on, I hit the bracks, the bike start to lock up, I release them to stop a slide. Thought to my self more back and less font I can controle this. But I paniced (classic school boy error) pulled on the front to hard and lost the font end. On some damage to bike, like the gear leaver, indacators.
To put it onto perspective i was only doing about 10-15 mph. Luckly I didn’t put the handle bars into the petrol tank. I got the bike start and had fot it into first gear, that was a fun rider for about 8 mile with only first gear only getting to about 20 mph. I walk away with a few bruses but a least I walk away. And to top all off it was Tuesday night, yet another rugby taining session missed.
Then on Thursday of last week my Shower started to leak. I got a call from a very distrought wife as it was leaking into the kitchen. As her dad was collection her for work (due me having the car because I felt like jumping off my bike on Tuesday) he agreed to come round on thurdays night to look at to. We tryed to see if there was any way it would be selant around the shower but no joy. We then realize that we would have to lift floor boards but due to Lynsey dad having to work a strang shift patter for BT that week we left that until the weekend.
So when he was round we decied to bleed a readitor (due to Lynsey’s distrust of my DIY stills) all went well. That was until firday morning, there was no hot water. I though this was odd as we have Pheniox gas, then it came to me Bleeding the rediator depressises the system and we have to put the press back in to keep the flame lit. Now this is at 6.45 in the morning and I’m due in Befast at 8.30. So Lynsey hears my banging around the house and asks whats wrong, I tell her and then off to my fokes house as they have two shower and are on their way to work.
So I get after work I get home are put the pressure back in the Gas system and all is good.
Saturday Morning rolls round Lynsey goes to work and then her dad appears to help figure out where this blood leak is. So floor boards are lifted in the bathroom, dry a bone, where the hell is the blood leak. We notice loose floor board in the landing and decided to take a look at those to see what is going on. Lift them on theres the blood leak all right and by the looks of plaster board its been leaking for some time. Still cant find it in the shower, we ask my dad to have a look. By now it 2pm on Saturday. The rest of the day is spent sealing the shower and the taps on the shower until we are happy theres no way in hell water is going any where other than down the drain.
Ok now for the good points of November and compaire to the lows it really wasn’t a bad moth.
Fist off I turn 29, yes one more year and I’m 30. To be honus getting older doesn’t bother me at all, after all I dont feel any older then when I went to uni, and I think I act the same way.
Also I Celabrated my first wedding aniversy with Lynsey. Not at anything has really changed since we moved in togther about 3 years ago. Except the mail now reads Mr and Mrs instead of Graham and Lynsey.
Taking all things into condideration November wasn’t really a bad month. OK apart for the jumping off my motorbike and the shower it was ok.
