Another one from this afternoons walk in the park, I spotted this on the pool near the canoe hire place, obviously just waiting for tea to swim by.

Well.....at 14.30 I thought "I am tired" and went for a lie down. 2 1/2 hours later I have just woken up. I feel absolutely CR*P.
I am going to strip off and lie in the side garden...... all my grand plans are on hold till tomorrow

Me too Paul,
I'm just finishing my second bottle of Westons Oak Aged Vintage Organic Cider (8.2%) and am contemplating a third 😯

The Great Orme did not happen as Mrs G advised me not to go because of the heat. She was concerned I might have a heat stroke as she knows I am not very good when it is too hot. Not to worry, it will be another time , when it is a bit cooler and the wind blows from the east.
We have a zoom family quiz at 7.30 to look forward to now.

MrsG has good sense
I am not the best/greatest cyclist but I found it hot.... even for 10 miles this morning. You made a good decision imo.

Next door's son is 13 today. I feel a bit sorry for him BUT his parents have asked friends etc. Bugger all social distancing going on.

Speaking of which I was up on Rivington Pike today as part of my ride. Cars and people everywhere.

I've that every weekend since the restrictions were put in place. Some coming from nearby Bradford, in cars. Leaving in the early hours.

Any sight of the chasing spacecraft?

And I did.
No sign of the Space X thingy though.
