It's Good Friday, I bet some poor sod will be crucified by the end of the day
This has to be the worse Easter of all times, take care folks

Morning. Couldn't sleep......there's a novelty!

Enjoying a cuppa and waiting on the daylight appearing.

Snap - awake at 5:19. I've enough milk for one coffee so hoping the milk lady is here soon.

It was 10C at 5.30. The sky looks clear, birds are singing their hearts out. No breeze. Looks like another beautiful day ahead.

No ride today. Yesterday despite only being 32 miles was tough in the last 6/7 miles. Three short but sharp inclines hurt me which is unusual. I've ridden 15 days out 17 since Lockdown, this week I pushed really hard Monday and Wednesday so it's clearly time for a rest. Saturday's ride will be a gentle meander.

Determined to get stuff done todsy

The core of my group, the Gentlemen of Leisure Riders, have decided we will do something "memorable" to celebrate. This damn virus is I feel showing us what a good tight group we have - everyone is clearly missing our rides in different ways.

Current plan is to ride to the Lakes, stay at a B&B owned by an ex club member, find great pub, next day "recovery" (cough) ride, last day ride home.

Me too! Although mine's a milkman.
Can't have my cereal ... <thinks> although could have a bowl of porridge 🤔

And naturally, as soon as the porridge was ready, the milkman arrived!

g'day g'day g'day.
Up early (for me) at 0600.
2000 last evening we joined in the applause for the nhs and those many others working hard in these difficult times. Neighbours were shouting to each other.
It was very moving as I felt we were also shouting encouragement to each other.
Anyway.......the shed didn't get cleared yesterday. MrsDs fault for pouring me that g&t . So that will have to be done today.
I was going to Aldi for 0745 but cant get myself in the mood.
I will see if this coffee does the trick

I like my porridge made with 100% water plus a spoon of honey and spoon of yoghurt or crème fraiche. 🥄

good morning people, its Friday a shopping and chores day.

@Dave7 the same here last night as it has been for three weeks. Numbers grow each week. Last night we had whistles, saucepans and wooden spoons. My wife happened to be in a video chat with three American friends so she let them join in via video.

It's very moving, our American friends thought it was, quote, awesome.

I was going to have a little rant but won't now except if I see one more FB post telling me how we are all now equal I will SCREAM!

Time to make porridge and get busy. Elaine, milklady, delivered a while back.

👍 Sometimes water, sometimes milk for me, and when it is water, a spoonful of golden syrup provides the extra yum.

Every time I see a mention of milkmen I think of the Father Ted episode with Pat Mustard

Would that be Colonel in the lounge with the lead piping?

Morning all, I feel late on parade today.
The sun is shining, and MrsP has made the tea.
