As you all know I started a new hobby up in the shed building a large model train layout 00 and Hornby steam trains, have all the track laid out and the bedding all done before the accident as well a few built model buildings, I am very keen to get back into the layout and still have all the wiring to do before I even run a train, so really I still have lots of work to keep me busy as well 5 more building to build.
Just being up in my shed/workshop I will always be busy and able to look at my old Norton, play my music and have a few beers as well when I feel like it, but of course I did buy the beers for the mates when they come around, that's if I haven't already drank them lol
I am normally awake as the sun comes up but being the 3rd day of our Autum its getting up a bit later after 5am but being back in my own bed I wake up with the sun but been going back to sleep waking at 7am, well that is asleep in for me, but I been enjoying it as I still stay up late at night before I hit the sack, Debra is even a later owl than me and stays up till the wee hours of the morning but she well sleep till way after 10am if she has nothing planned for the day.
Well my mate who suppose to stay over for a few days has been a no show so still on my own, but to be honest I been enjoying my own time here with Millie, waiting for the steam cleaner/floor scrubber today as well still waiting for my new wheelchair to come, the other party insurance man phoned me yesterday to see how I been at home, funny as everything I say to him I can hear him typing on his keyboard writing everything down in what I say so I got to watch out in what I say, but told him its been a hard trot for me to adjust to my situation at no fault of my own as what I say or what Debra say can affect the long term compensation from their side of things, but hey my leg is never going to grow back and Debra will never be the same again, we just got to be smart and play their game without making it easy for them.
I don't know how things would be without the support from our family, friends and close mates as well friends from all over the world from Access Norton as well from Triumph Rat forum although I no longer own a Triumph I still have many friends there who have given us a lot of support, it does make a big difference to handling our difficult time and it keeps me sane in the process, friendships make a big difference to recovery, my life will never be the same but I am going to do my best to get back on with my life as well Debra's life together and enjoy it to the max, but with good mates to help on the way, most of my mates I have known since primary school, lifetime friendships, once a mate always a mate in my book and Debra also has mates from her school days who have been helping out in our time of need, I can't believe the support we both have been getting, with all the troubles in the world, friends make it a better place.
A big thank you to all my friends here and the wonderful words from so many has helped me along the way, biker life is in my blood, am old school in everything I do and so many great friendships on the way, 52 years for riding and 50 years in June from owning my old reliable Norton, its a freak has only let me down 3 times on the road, one blown Boyar black box and 2 broken rear chains that stopped me from getting home, not bad for 50 years of owning it, patting it on the tank and saying great ride today bike has helped I think and never get angry with it, should have married my bike instead of Debra lol, no I not that crazy lol.
