Good morning all. My dawn ride was in a biting NE wind and occasional snow flurries; the bike computer read 2.1 degrees when I got back but was probably below that when I set out. Needless to say, it was not a long ride!
Now making bread for when Mrs Poacher eventually gets home - her flight from Antigua landed at Gatwick about 15 mins ago.
Don't think she'll be impressed with the weather, but relieved after two flight cancellations that she's finally back in UK.

I have risen!
Muttley walked, my government mandated daily exercise taken. You can tell the wind has turned north as it's now jolly chilly.

Not really essential items according to the Govt guidelines.
The paper is full of sneaky 'shoot and shame' shots of people leaving DIY stores with wallpaper etc. and the Facebook vigilantes are loving this opportunity to throw their weight around.
Watch that you don't get dobbed in by a nosey neighbour.

To late! I picked up a car full of wall paper and other stuff yesterday. Our local B & Q has it all set up in the car park, you drive in and theres a fella with a radio, you give him your order number and he tells you which pick up point to use, you drive round the corner and the pick up points are set up across the car park, you drive into your pick up point and a fella pushes a trolly with your stuff in it up to your car, he retreats you load and off you go. Wicks DIY is delivery only. Argos shops are closed but the ones that are in Sainsbury's are open. Todays trip is to pick up what B & Q was out of. I don't take much notice of Facebook, I've already been snarled at for taking the piss out of our friend Boris.

Same here. I am more of a morning person and love getting out nice and early. If this dreaded C word blows over before summer is over, I must make more effort to try and enjoy the evenings.Mornin' all.
Never enjoy the return to waking in the dark.

Morning all.
I say, its jolly cold today, what!
Lovely sunny blue sky but its going to be a max of 6°
Another good nights sleep with just a pee break.
I am sat in the conservatory enjoying my coffee. I have a Tassimo machine which makes a decent cup. Someone gave me some coffee syrups as a present so I used them and got used to them. They have gone now and the coffee tastes bitter...... but I will get used to it
.
No idea what we are doing food or exercise wise**. We made some decisions last night but that was before we opened the wine + cognac (not in the same glass Classic).
** think it will be the exercise bike followed by a 61 minute walk (i like to be a rebel)
Have a good day everyone.

Its now on my facebook page, thanks Mo
Same here for both of us. If we dont do our exercises or my bike ride early(ish) then we lose the drive to do it.
My problem is (always has been) I sleep very heavy and it takes a while to get going. I can't get up, wash/shower then immediately eat.......I have to wait for my body to catch up.
My son, who takes after me in many ways, is the opposite it that regard. Even as a little lad he would jump out of bed asking for food.
Funny story (brief).
When he was 5 we heard him down stairs, very early. We went down to find him trying to cut a slice of bread.
Nearly in tears he said "I can't live my life like this"......meaning no food.
Dave, how do you choose wallpaper without physically seeing it? Or had you chosed before the lockdown.
Re' people snitching on you, I gather you have broad shoulders so they can just 'do one'. You can live without those people.

When you say "the papers"....do you mean like daily newspapers ? Have TBH I haven't bought a newspaper for years but its incredible they could stoop so low.
I also don't do facebook.
I suddenly feel like a sad man.

I think we might be in this for the long haul
UK lockdown 'could last until June'
Tough measures to tackle the outbreak in the UK have been in force for nearly a week - but a leading government adviser has warned they may need to remain in place until June.
Imperial College London Professor Neil Ferguson told the Sunday Times: “We’re going to have to keep these measures (the full lockdown) in place, in my view, for a significant period of time – probably until the end of May, maybe even early June.”
He added that even if the lockdown was lifted, people would probably still need to abide by social distancing measures for months to come.
Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove told Sky News that the length of the measures was not something that was "absolutely fixed".
He said: "It depends on all of our behaviour. If we follow the guidelines, we can deal more effectively with the spread of the disease."
