Today I collect my new bike from the shop. I have committed to doing the ride for Help for Heros and our own Trust's charity fund. I have signed up for a spin session at the gym on Tuesday as part of the training and I suspect my legs will be very sore on Wednesday. The sun is shining and it is cold. It is a lovely day and my girls are well. Adam is well and so is Big J who I saw live on screen this morning in his hotel room in Hong Kong. Everything is hunky dory.
But I am feeling a bit blue. I spoke to my mum this morning. She is very far away in Cooran in Queensland in Australia. She and Dad live in a beautiful but pretty isolated area. They have both had ailments, they are not getting any younger and none of their offspring live near.
My sisters are going to a mutual friend's 50th soon, in Bali, (very close to Australia if you live at the top end, as one does). I miss my sisters.
My brother and his lovely wife and daughter are in Hong Kong - I miss them too.
Big J does look well, but still he does not have a return date. It will be great when that is decided. We are a bit in limbo and yes, I miss him, a lot.
Missing all those people makes me blue.
Remembering the good things is the challenge for today.
All the folk I love
A new bike
A feta cheese and spinach filo pie
Being at home doing the things I like

Virtual hugs from me to help you feel less blue.
Thank you. Moods lift and mine did and the new bike has helped. Looking forward to London!
