Just had a look at the forecast for tomorrow and, whilst it doesn't look
great, I have a ride planned in the morning and will probably go out very early. I just fancy having a spin when it's quiet and hopefully before the 'new bike brigade' emerge. Will anyone else from the ng be out tomorrow? Best wishes to everyone for a safe and happy Christmas. Paul |

Midnight mass on Christmas Eve is one of my favourite services of the year, but it's on hold until the apprentices are a bit older.

Sadly not held this year due to shortage of priest in another town.. The church has, for many years now, held a late afternoon Christmas mass aimed primarily for children. It's a happy service, full of song and quite light, where all the kids go to the front, sit round the altar & the Christmas story is read out. It's a really friendly, warm event, even for this non-Catholic. At the end all the kids would get a small present. Lovely. Festive cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune h*$el*$$e*nd**$o$ts**i*$*$m*m$o*n*s@$*a$o*l.c**$om$ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |

According to the Holy Days Act of 1551 (which has not been repealed) everyone must attend church on Christmas Day and must no use any type of vehicle. I guess since your journey commences on Dec 24th you'll be OK ;-) |

Last night's ride home was interesting. An old woman walked out in front of my bike as she crossed the road at 2245 out of a pub. Before I reached her she fell as if hit by a bullet and smashed her head on the road. I stopped my bike and another bloke down the road stopped the cars reaching her. I walked into the pub to get help and a man came out with a mobile phone and called for an ambulance. We both carried her to the pavement and lay her down and a woman gave her a coat. Her forehead had a nasty gash like a glass bowl that has a "star crack" in it. I could do no more so headed off into the 50 mph head wind past the Infirmary where an ambulance was heading the opposite way. I do hope she is OK. It restored my faith in human nature. She had four good Samaritans in less than a minute. -- Simon M. |

I was intending to cycle or run today (May still run actually!), but failing that I will definately be out for a potter at some point. I'll be representing the 'old bike brigade'. I'm currently riding the fixer and the frame that it's based on is almost certainly older than me. ;-) Jon |
