I am recovered. Back when i was marooned in hospital for 8 days then bed ridden for a few weeks i realised i had a wake up call. Rome became a madness to get me fit, Doctor thought i was mad. Then over 15km a day in fierce 31C heat, no shade evil terrain my colleagues questioned my ability to do it, they had a back up substitute ready. My boss couldnā€™t believe i kept going. In my mind? I knew i had been given a choice of which ā€œhill to die onā€. I was not giving up i was going to be there on that Sunday and wow did it pay off. I pumped meds, CBD, Energy Gels, Isotonic powders hundreds of calories of crap catering - Pizza & Chips in a pot with lettuce paprika cucumber olives & mayo on top. I got home and crashed- my system couldnā€™t control my temperature i could feel the chemicals flushing out as i had a pee every 20 minutes and drank 3 litres of water a day. My knees locked solid, couldnā€™t face taking meds. Mrs P\_F didnā€™t know whether to shout at me or call an ambulance. And today? Iā€™m back! System rebalanced, knees working CBD & NaProxen taken, tomorrow, weather permitting back to the Forest. Because tosay is the day i start improving so i donā€™t crash in 2027 šŸ˜‰ ---

I have been informed, in utter confidence, that I will (subject to final confirmation) be performing an exceptional civic duty next year. I could tell you what, but it would be very hard work having to shoot all of you.
