We took Corrie’s toothache as an opportunity to also bring the red rally car into the pits. The pits however are in Mortdale, so it’s like another rally in itself. A clean bill of health on the inside but extremely dirty on the outside – a sign maybe we could take on board to enhance our performance as well. It had to wait in line for a while so a walk round this industrial area was different to what I’m used to, but a walk’s a walk.
On return I was just in time to get on Zoom for my exercise class, but it wouldn’t work. My dentist, who was wondering what to do with Corrie, rang me to say my bridge (a tooth one) had arrived, did I have time to come in. This was a great excuse to not be angry with the computer, so a short walk to join Corrie at the dentist.
Close to Gosford and a warning signal advised us of tyre air pressure problems. We pulled in to an ‘air station’ and rang our ‘pits man’ who realised that because of my urgency to have our rally car tuned, he forgot to return the inflated tyres back to normal thus the scary signal. Fifteen minutes more of electronic service advice and letting excess air out of the tyres had us on the road again to see family on Brisbane Waters.
The dark saw us into our Bulahdelah home for the night – our first complete motel with food, fuel and frosty drinks. And outside we have a mountain? – excited to test our climbing skills tomorrow morning. But there are questions: My glutes aren’t happy so maybe a heavy drug tomorrow; my low BP wants me to faint if too exhausted; my irregular heart beats sometimes call for the famous pill in the pocket. Apart from that, I am confident and it sounds a lot more dramatic than it really is, which will hopefully raise our blog ratings.

The cartilage in my foot degenerated
Improvement not an option so he said,
Low BP came from being dehydrated
It sends you in a spin a thing to dread.
And now there is degenerative spine
With osteoporosis what a duo,
Solution they once said to lay supine
While others said it really is quite pseudo.
My prostate disappeared in one fell swoop
No semen left – at my age doesn’t matter
My blood clots interfere in the whole loop
With atrial fibrillation blood will scatter.
Now Parkinson’s has put it in perspective,
Thus making me – a little more acceptive.
