I had not done a ride for a week at least as Jennifer was sick from a simple bite or sore on her ankle . It looks as if it was burnt with a blowlamp and it looks and is very sore enough to keep her up at night and is painful all through the day . She has gone to the VHI , then twice or threee times to the hospital as we were afraid that it migh be shingles or something more serious . She also went to the Cambridge Clinic (twice) and the Doctor gave her a stronger anti- biotic . She is feeling a small bit better but she still has a few days of this to go through . My heart goes out to her , as I feel so useless. Apart from all of that I went on half a cycle today as I had just gone that morning to see Tess to solve the problems of the world . So it was about 2PM when I started cycling . I really went anywhere . Anywhere meaning Shelbourne Road where Eamonn and Geraldine lived . The house was burnt down to nothing and destroyed . I really dont know what is to be done . The house was in awful condition in the first place but after the fire nothing was left . What will happen? I then tried to go to the back of the house by say a lane but impossible to do . Off to Irishtown area and around the old Poolbeg , and the industrial area . A good cycle and a nice break
