The NHS recommend 10 micro grams a day of vitamin D. Tesco have their own brand with 12.5 micrograms. A blood test should give the amount of D present.

I was taking one 12.5 microgram one and a 5 microgram one daily! Mike, I can't recall exactly what the doctor said my levels were but they were high enough o give her cause for concern!

Me at the Citroen Car Club Chevrons Rally yesterday :-D

And very much back to doing something else I love doing :D

Taking part in what was a quite challenging trail run around the grounds of Holdenby House in very rural Northants :)

We even had mud!!!

Loved it. My only regret was opting to do the 10K. It was over all too soon and I wished I'd signed up for the half marathon at least. In my defence, when I initially signed up I was not sure of my fitness as I'd only just started on my road to recovery...

Holdenby House is quite historical: https://www.holdenby.com/

A lot of yesterday was spent deep-cleaning my house now all the building works are complete :) The house looks no different to the casual eye but at least I know it's truly clean everywhere...

I did find time to go for a run with my club and a bike ride in the last of the warm evening sunshine.

The official photographer got a good one of me in action on Sunday :-D

I gave the posh van an oil and filter change yesterday, one of very many tasks I need to get done before I go the the seaside next week :)

And to free me up today for a trip to Whipsnade Zoo with the children :D

The oil change would have been very straightforward had I not started it up with the air intake pipe and resonator box removed. I left them off so I could see the oil filter to check for any leaks.

That brought up a fault telling me my vehicle needs repair :roll: :lol:

So it was out with the Diagbox to reset it. Coincidentally, I had dug out the laptop earlier in the morning to update it. Maybe the gods knew it would be needed later...

Then it was off to the tip with a load of domestic rubbish, including around 20 litres of waste engine oil.

By eck, I'd have said that posh van's sump was well overfilled last time Jim!
:rofl2:

Good work on the house deep clean, as you say feels better knowing it's done even if can't spot the difference at a glance
