Neither set my pulse racing.<\/p>\n<p>The downside of all the walking is that I&#8217;m beginning to run\u00a0out of unwalked routes; covering\u00a0the same old routes is just dull.<\/p>\n<p>If it wasn&#8217;t for having to continue safeguarding my wrist, I would be out riding right now; the weather is so good that it&#8217;s almost a crime being indoors.<\/p>\n<p>Drinking (not alcohol, obv); one does a lot more drinking in hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Those frequent visits from the tea trolley.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, by myself at home (because the #RescueKitties are rubbish at making hot drinks), I have to make an effort to stop whatever it is I&#8217;m doing, and get in to the kitchen for a brew.<\/p>\n<p>And I miss work.<\/p>\n<p>Because I love my job.<\/p>\n<p>*goes in to the kitchen to make a brew*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our plucky hero continues to carry out undetected crimes whilst recuperating &nbsp; Oh God I&#8217;m So Bored!
