You’re not fooling anyone with CNBC money on the TV. We all know you switched back to nickelodeon after that photo.

Those curtains really bring the room together

You would never believe there is a Presidential election in twelve days time wandering around Washington DC these last couple of days - it’s quite remarkable really.
DC is very different from what I expected - it has a very European feeling to it totally unlike any US city I’ve been to before.

Have you been to the Air & Space museum?
We thought (well I did Anne not so much 
) about it but long queues to get in put us off as it’s been scorchio here.

Just fucked my left arm up good and proper trying to lift the big’n’shinies onto a different isolation platform by way of an experiment - summat went audibly crunch and now I can barely lift a cup of tea.
Getting old fucking SUCKS! 
Instead I shall be forced to listen to music instead…

Ow !
A joint or a something in the soft tissue ?
Out for my usual Thursday walk I parked the car in Hathersage next to a stone in the wall that I’d never noticed before
So I had to look up rogationtide.
Just behind my car was this Mitsuoka Viewt, rather like a miniature Jaguar saloon, quite a nice motor. Based on a Nissan Micra, it seems!
Anyhow, the sun eventually burned through and we had a nice end to the 7 mile route.

I can’t really tell TBH, everything immediately upstream and downstream of the elbow joint hurts like fuckedy fuck, but no external bruising so far, so I’m hoping that at least I haven’t copied my late father’s habit of tearing muscles clean off of his own bones 
I don’t think this gonna be a couple of paracetalmol and a-bit-stiff-in-the-morning, annoyingly 
In my experience, elbows take a long time to heal. Resting it is key. After hyperextending mine (digging in the garden, really) I kept re-injuring it so often that it took nearly 3 years to fully recover. Best just sit back and listen to music until summer.

So going out and mowing the lawn was possibly not the optimum response?
Ah bugger…

If only you had some animals that could graze it for you.
They went 3 years ago - and they were too fussy to be useful in the role… 
We were out on Tuesday completing in a section of the SW Coast path we hadn’t previously covered. A section from Portwrinkle to Downderry (SE Cornwall)
Portwrinkle has the remains of a small 17C harbour.
The coat path along here is pretty unforgiving, climbing up to 150m and then swooping down & on some muddy tracks quite hard work in places. However the views on a nice day make it just about worthwhile!
I didn’t get a picture but was pleased to see several kestrels at work here.
Approaching Downderry. The entrance to Looe & Looe island in the distance.
We’re out of season & a lot of building work; new construction & renovation seems to be going on at Downderry. It’s evidently becoming quite a desirable bolthole although I suspect many of these are 2nd homes.
Down onto the beach which, while ok, isn’t among Cornwall’s best. But the Inn on the Shore is a nice pub.
Having had a wander around the village we set off back, following lanes parallel to the coast, further but easier walking than the coast path.
Couldn’t help but think this might appeal to @Ruprecht
The walk back still yielded some nice views.
We watched the cross channel ferry heading back into Plymouth past Rame Head.
A nice day out & we were lucky with the weather. We didn’t have the dog with us (possibly a good thing on the precarious coast path) and besides she was otherwise engaged on Tuesday.

Another great walk 
Sorry to hear that. I have a bit of experience with damaged wrists and shoulders but can’t say anything (potentially) useful about elbows. A heavy exerciser (competitive runner) I once knew reckoned temperature cycling - 5-10 mins with a cold pack followed by 5-10 mins with a warm one - could improve the blood flow into otherwise poorly-served regions (knees in his case) and thereby speed up healing. I tried it a bit on my injured knee 15-20 years ago and maybe it did help …
