Had several lots of blood taken very efficiently at the London Road Community Hospital this morning, should get the results in a couple of weeks time. Afternoon spent in the office discussing my return to work. Nothing yet decided but some options discussed and another meeting planned for a couple of weeks time.

Back home to catch up on today's stage of the tour. It was all looking good for Mark Cavendish but he was out ridden at the end by Petacchi.

Trip to Ible in the evening to say hello to Liza who has just arrived from Belarus.
