MEMORANDUM MONDAY.....

.....is the new brainchild of  'She- of- the- great- Blogging- Ideas' AKA SIAN :the idea being that not only do we wave on Monday, but also share something we did for the first time over the weekend and/or something we learned and hadn't known before.

Given that I spent most of last week-and most of the weekend- in bed or lying on the sofa (having been laid low by a nasty bug) and with a head full of sawdust, I can honestly say I didn't do anything  at ALL, never mind new at the weekend.

By yesterday though, my head was my own again and I am most definitely on the mend...to the extent that I got out my little pedalling machine with the intention of using it at least for twenty minutes or so, just to get me back in the swing of it. Unfortunately, after ten minutes the blessed left pedal fell off (!); on examining said pedal I discovered that there was no way it was going to re-thread back into the machine so, being determined that my new fitness and healthy eating regime (more about that another day) wasn't going to be scuppered on day 1, I went off in search of my trusty Superglue to see if THAT would work. I did the necessary and left it to set and by today :





.....I learned that Superglue DOES stick tight- even on metal against metal! I have used my machine and the pedal stayed put...YAY!

Waving at the Monday Wavers and wishing everyone a week with lots to be grateful for!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison

  1. Glad to hear you are feeling better. And so glad you were able to fix your machine - I have never had any luck with super glue - the only thing it manages to stick to is my fingers!

  2. Oh, yes, superglue is wonderful . . . almost as good as duct tape. LOL

    Have a great week!

  4. Good for you; not only for fixing the pedal, but getting on the bike after feeling so poorly. I'm afraid it takes me a lot longer than that to get going!

  5. The bugs that have been going around this Winter seem to be some tenacious little blighters. Hope you're back to full strength soon x

  6. Sorry to hear the new year started with you feeling poorly. Pleased to hear the pedal was easily fixed, must have been loosened by all that pedalling you've been doing ;-)

  8. Sorry to hear you were down for the weekend, but glad you are back up and about. We made it back to the gym for the first time in weeks yesterday, and I did not bounce back into the routine so easily as you. Happy pedaling!

  10. I'm very glad to hear that you are feeling better AND that you were able to cure the machine too. Not like the time we ordered a "tummy roller" and broke it the first time we tried to use it..

    Have a great week Alison!
