I'd hoped to get one proper night ride in before this stupid 5km restriction thing but it is absolutely pouring down, so much so that I think i might build myself an ark instead. Anyone know where I can buy some gopher wood and get a tape measure graduated in Cubits?

There's a place, farm supply shop, on the Swinford Road, just outside Foxford. Have a word with the old fella, not his son. He can get most things for you.

14 days isolation period. However,
"If you have been informed that you are a contact of a person who has had a positive test result for coronavirus ( COVID-19 ), medical advice is clear: you must immediately self-isolate at home for 14 days from the date of your last contact with them."

As clear as mud really.

I don't think schools are using such a long self-isolation period. I just found out that she's been told isolate herself until the 27th. I last saw her in the middle of last week and she knew nothing about it then, so that's definitely less than 14 days.

Son no. 2's on a 'rest day'. Except he's just been co-opted by his team to race in the new Zwift Racing League tonight. In the 'top' tier against the professionals Apparently they entered two teams and are short so have dragged in a couple of their Under 16's.

Having seen the entry list I'll have a bucket ready just in case ...

Have fed the cats. Soon it will be time to feed me.

Tried that, she's gnawing at my knuckle now.

Son no. 2 finished in the lead group with his team, no and so has Zwift League Points or something. Job done.

Me? I ended up DS-ing* the group with a as the team DS was with Team 1 and had left Team 2 to themselves

I wish - it's this: https://wtrl.racing/zrl/Zwift-Racing-League.php the Premier Division of Zwift's new racing league. Pits pro's against decent amateurs using Zwift and tonights was the team time trial. Zwift, Discord for chat and another screen for live performance data.

Nah just a 'grooming' type nibble, Kizzy does it a lot.I think it has to do with her being separated from her mum far too early, she still had blue eyes and was small enough to stand on my palm so I'd say 5 or 6 weeks old. Not our choice, she came from Maz's Avon rep who used to fuss our GSD when she came round but when he died asked if we were getting another I said no we're thinking of another Cat though and she mentioned her Cat had just had Kittens would we want one and I said yes. About a month later the rep came round again and after collecting the Catalogue asked if we were still interested so I again said yes and a few days later Anna (the rep) came round with 2 boxes one with Maz's Lotions and Creams and the other with this tiny Kitten that had probably only just been weaned. When I got home Maz showed me Kizzy and I knew she was too young really but there was nothing I could do and Kizzy has grown into a lovely Cat but very 'clingy' almost like she 'imprinted' on us but then we were feeding her 5 times a day (little meals) for about a month so it was almost like 'hand rearing' her.
