Mornin' all.
Wonderfully cloudless sky to start the day.

Good morning all. It's a beautiful morning with clear skies, sun and no breeze. 4C at the moment down 6 degrees from yesterday at this time. It will be the Edgworth ride today. A beautiful route but not one to be ridden in the wind, especially an easterly. I'll post the route in a bit.

Possibly a touch of ground frost last night, the flat roof extension had frost on it at 5.45. Are folk aware temperatures can drop to freezing for a very short period? At work if the forecast was 5C or less all our outside stock would be covered up. Bitter experience having taught us 10-15 minutes of 0C is enough to inflict serious damage.

I was rushing round my allotment at 9.30pm last night covering up peas, beans etc.

Slept till 5.40! 👏👏

Mo......like Paul I didn't pop in yesterday (didn't have computer on) so a belated happy birthday from me and a BIIIGG well done for those 61 miles.
On my 68th I did a 68 miler. It was a very windy day and the ride out was awful. Since then my neck has got worse and 40 is my absolute max if I have all day so I can keep resting. So, again, I take my hat off to you.

Today's plan is a 3 mile walk then house work. It seems ages since the floors were properly cleaned and the 1st one will be the conservatory which means moving everything and hovering then moving it again and mopping. I will see how I feel after that. I think I have said, we have a cleaner that comes once a week for 2 hours. She is young and fit (in both senses), a really good worker and is worth every penny. With lock down she has not been able to come and I must say, we miss her.

@Dirk , going back to that holiday question. If I understood you correctly that whole north coast of Devon is massive. If you had to choose one general area that fitted my criteria, what would it be? Not an exact place, just an area.

Good morning fellow retirees from a sunny but chilly Yokelshire.

I took a couple of books out from the Library just before lockdown. I often read on my kindle but do love "Tree books" as opposed to "E books", though adjusting to fine print when your eyes are tired can be a bit of a challenge.
I'm 3/4 of the way through " Woken Furies", the third book of the " Altered Carbon" series, and enjoying it immensely.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶🏃🚲🌞🌞
