Just been out for 20 miles, at the halfway point I have to cross the Skegness Road cycle on it for about 400 yards then cross back again, not today it was rammed full of cars in both directions, sat there for a few minutes with no chance of crossing so rode along the grass verge, even the postie agreed it was off the scale busy.

Everyone seems to be going a bit mental with their new freedom! Hope it doesn’t all backfire soon.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

I can see large parts of the UK being put back under 'lockdown' before long.

I agree. It seems that people have just gone mad. Within the next couple of months I can see local lockdowns, and a UK wide mask enforcement whenever you go outside your house. And I think it will last until the vaccine is released. We can't afford to lock the entire UK down again, so masks it will undoubtedly be I think.

Gone over the hill and far away
I went for a little bimble and it was even made shorter by someone completely blocking the cycle path with two concrete blocks and a very large tree trunk :ohmy:, they are doing a lot of building work along that path so it could be closed for a long time :sad:

I have mentioned in recent weeks I've not been feeling quite right, and suspected that my diabetes (T1) may have crept slightly out of control or change its characteristic somewhat has I am ageing. I'm normally rock solid stable so don't faff about with home blood testing - they're only really screening devices, not very accurate, and by the time they're telling you something is wrong you bloody well know about it anyway!

I had a blood test two weeks ago at the GP and that's come back slightly out of range, so he referred me for a priority appointment to the hospital. Guess what? I've just received a letter that I have a hospital appointment on Wednesday... On the telephone! I can quite understand that we all this virus malarkey that over the phone is probably a way to go, but I wonder what sort of examination they can to do over the blower!

Most surgeries are operating on telephone consultations. My good Ladies surgery is messing her about with her pain killers again :sad:. I ordered them for her last Tuesday but they didn't process it, now she's run out of them and she's been talking to them on the phone telling them she's out of them but they won't dispense anymore till she's spoken to a doctor tomorrow. :sad:

You can all tell me off if you wish. Until Covid-19 I attended every Rovers home game. I've probably missed 10-15 in the last 33 years. I also go to my fair share of away games.

I don't like to say it but the majority of people in that crowd will be exactly those I'd be looking to avoid to protect myself from the virus. I know it's judgemental but I've been going to watch live football since I was 13 - that's 53 years - and know what I've seen.

Darwinism in action I'm afraid.

I have bimbled, got back about half one with 51 miles ridden, the cafe experience at Middleton Hall was a bit like Sutton Wharf, tables outside, no seating inside, and paper plate, cup and a wooden knife, and their toilet was shut. a very pleasant ride, Kinwalsey Lane was closed but I spoke nicely to the man in the van and he let me squeeze through, the stiff breeze was making it hard work and it was cool for a July Monday, but I enjoyed it
