I’m still struggling to get any “zip” back into my legs, despite taking it very easy the past few weeks. I have even picked up a sore left heel – first time I’ve heard of getting injured from resting.

I received the results of a medical check I had last week. Every indicator was perfect except for cholesterol, which was a bit high – no doubt the outcome of nearly a year of eating in diners in the US.

Happy Christmas to everyone, and enjoy the break, as I certainly am. I will be posting at least one more report before December 31, summarising my year on the road – probably the most unusual year of my life (so far).
