You could have dropped it off here, firstly it has been raining overnight, secondly I have a tank with 4000 litres of rainwater in.

I have risen!
Opticians this afternoon. First real contact with a human being outside the household in 2 months.

Well, a miserable start weather wise. This wasn't supposed to happen.
The plan is to go for a walk around the municiple golf course while hunting for ellusive lost golf balls.
Next is a call at the butcher to get burgers for tomorrows BBQ.
Later this afternoon is my FIRST ride for at least 6 weeks WOOHOO. Lets hope its not raining I have no wet weather stuff apart from the jacket.

Good morning fellow retirees,
Yesterday saw me leaving Glasgow on my lockdown LEJOG, looking at a more detailed map later, it turns out that I cycled past Bowling Basin where Mrs Tenkay and I started our Glasgow to Edinburgh Brommie expedition last year.
We had a delivery from one of the local pubs yesterday evening, 4 pints of 6d Gold from the Sixpenny Handley brewery, plus 4 pints of " Gurt Coconuts" from Cerne Abbas brewery. The " Coconuts" is a coconut infused milk stout which is finished off in Rum casks, 6.7% 😯, it's like drinking a Bounty Bar 👍
Hair Clippers arrived late yesterday, wallpapering scissors have been located, so today may well see me tackle the barbering 😯 might need a couple of pints of "Coconuts" to steady my nerves before I start 🤔
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚲🏃🚶🌞

Good Lord, this is just a bit too enthusiastic for the amount of sleep I've had.

You'll also need a plumb line, pencil and be sure to check the pattern repeat.

@Tenkaykev you've probably told us this before but I forget. How are you doing your virtual LEJOG?
I have a friend who is doing s virtual ride round the British coastline. After every real life ride he plots those miles on to the route he created to ride round Britain.
He also created a challenge for his wife, a virtual walk to the south coast again using real life miles plotted on a virtual route.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning. Horrible night here. High winds and rain all night. 
We're using Rouvy AR ( currently free to use as it is in Beta)
Following a route that someone who cycled it in real life has uploaded.
You get the route superimposed over a Google earth image and your icon moves along the route as you progress.
After finishing for the day your ride is uploaded and saved. When you recommence you move your icon to the previous finishing point and continue from there. Rinse and repeat.

So moving on to today. We've had overnight rain which has now stopped, sky seems to be clearing, it's still and 11C.
Riding at 9.30 so I need to WhatsApp the lady I'm cycling with as she was wavering with the forecast last night.
Noticed quite a lot of weed seedlings in my onions last night. Need to whizz those out and mulch before this rain encourages germination. Also have to pot up my purple Kale and Cavolo Nero. Then it's deciding where to squeeze in the courgettes - I've run out of space already - it may have to be in the asparagus bed.
