Return to contact lenses

After wearing contact lenses for 30 years, I was defeated 2 years ago and moved to varifocal glasses, as I could no longer see to read with contact lenses. I am now the proud wearer of a new type of multifocal silicone-hydrogel contact lens, as fitted by Brian Tompkins - they are really excellent. See http://www.tks-optometrists.co.uk/types4.htm for details of where he can be found.

Lessons from Lochnagar

My July newsletter is now available at http://www.ambitioncoach.com/62652/89229.html. Here I write about how much easier it is to work towards a goal if you know how wonderful the outcome will be. Strategies to help: don't get into analysis paralysis and make sure you have a support team!

Cycling update

I did it again! 100 miles in a day, starting at 4am as the sun rose last Saturday. The first few hours of milky sunshine were glorious, then it got hotter through the day until I stopped at 15:00. Second time was easier, knowing that I could do it, yet harder in the heat. No real pain afterwards... I think this tells me that Lands End-John O'Groats is a distinct possibility!
