Good Lord. Stay safe people

I have a terrible feeling this is going to get a sh*t load worse before it gets better.

On a lighter note folks, I walked up to the local shops with our granddaughter Willow. She was very chattery and insisted on wearing a face mask as she considers herself o be a "big girl" now that she is three Walking back from the shops via a different route and spotted these in a garden just around the corner:

I say this yesterday at Velator marshes.

Is it early, or late? Can't make up my mind.

next job was clearing leaves so I got the leaf blower out - and had an idea
Turns out a leaf blower is a damn good way of drying a wet bike - must remember that one

I did this last week but told no one for fear of being a touch obsessive. 😄

Tempting but I hate not telling the truth, which I guess you will all that think odd about an ex car dealer.

Where your health is concerned a little white lie is above board , if your really worried go for it

Funny, I was just thinking the other day something like an air compressor would be great to chase the water off after washing.

Personally I find a good fart does the job quite well

I phoned the Covid testing site to be told despite the fact I am having difficulties breathing that I cannot have a test as I have none of the other symptoms.

They told me to phone my gp who only has a recorded message going.

I can walk into the locally based testing station, no appointment/paperwork required.

Mobility scooter for local jaunts eventually? Dad loved his and it had over 30 mile range.

I did a bit of research on them when my wife was getting more immobile but she was scared of the one we did get tho' the grandchildren loved it. You can get ones with larger wheels and a top speed of 8mph but since there are steps at the bottom of my path and parking it in the street is not really an option it is out I am afraid.

Warning to Cheshire residents to keep their windows closed.The aromas they may be experiencing are not from the local cheese factory.It is thought the source may becoming from a cyclist trying to dry his washing by a somewhat unconventional method

Have to say some of them worry me as the wheels are so close together......they do not look stable.

Your kids are your kids not matter how old they get.
