Seemed a bit steadier this a.m. so decided to try to ride a bike.

Got 100m and realised it was too dangerous. Just couldn't keep straight and balance was crap.

Almost in tears walking back😭.

Longest I've been off bike where I haven't broken something.

Brunhilde failed to start today😱
Battery dead(8 years old). Window synchro lost. Recharged, resynchrod windows, all good.
New batt ordered but only safe way to change on R129 is when all planets are aligned, you've done a jig and made a sacrifice to the roof controller!

So why is the gaelic word for 'ambulance' not in reverse script like the english word 'ambulance' on Scottish ambulances?
I think we should be told.

Have to find something to occupy me while vertigo prevents cycling.
