Skiied to work today, and most of way back! yippee!
Says it all, really. Most difficult bit was getting nordic skis, poles & boots out of loft, with unattached ladder, so required help of partner. Colleagues at Away Day were very impressed 🙂 at "most active commute to work" (I only had to travel 2 miles each way). Perhaps it's safe to tell them my diagnosis, as they should realise that I can look after myself in slightly unusual situations. Skiied back home across open land and along lesser used roads, but couldn't ski where feet had melted the snow. However, I think I'll cycle back for evening meal.
Added: cycled back for evening meal (mountain bike with thick knobbly tyres and helmet for my head) - and after a few glasses of wine with the meal, was presented with a bottle of champagne for my team, as prize for most active commute to work. Perhaps ironically, perhaps says a lot about work, there wasn't room on either of the the tables occupied by by team members for me, so I sat with some doctors who I knew only vaguely, but they welcomed me when I asked if I could join them. However, still shared champagne with work team mates who did not have room for me earlier. "No room at the inn" - very Christmassy, especially, as I found myself sitting with a Malaysian Chinese Christian, a Bahai who had studied at the same university at almost the same time as me, a non-practicing Jew with Brazillian connections (who had veggie option) and a German protestant, so lots of fun and new views on life!
