Just got an email from SiL who has lived in Denmark for about 60 years now and is over 80. She does not expect to get her first jab until March but there seems to be no travel restrictions. She lives in the part of Copenhagen with the densest population so avoids public transport but relies on her toy boy for transport. [ He must be about 65 I think].
I was telling her earlier that I may be forced by the tourist industry to leave Mull but her fear is she will never see Scotland again. She has to wait till April to find out if her Danish citizenship has been approved and if not she fears she may be kicked out as her long term resident's pass has now expired so she fears that even more.

I will need to have cottage pie for lunch. Should have been used yesterday.

As much as I could do with some fresh air, I can’t be bothered getting dressed. It’s a bit of a performance getting into your clothes trying only to use one hand. The men can look away now but the bra has to be fastened and then stepped into and a bit of wriggling to get it up to where it belongs! :laugh:
Now speaking as a married man Mrs P broke her wrist a few years ago......

We've seen our Son and my Stepson this morning, its our Granddaughter's birthday Thursday and the lad came up to pick up her birthday cards, and my Stepson came up up to give him his card and present for her, we haven't seen either of them for weeks so it was nice to have a catch up.

I assume you have not ventured into "the dark zone" of this forum, we would be roasted alive with pages and pages of lecturing, before being "re-educated" in the error of our ways. :wacko:

Afternoon.

Decent start to the week, I’ve just ordered another new bike, 3rd in 7 months! A mountain bike this time.
I borrowed a mountain bike last week having sold one a few years back, went out yesterday with a mate, and we did 12 miles with 1900ft of climbing! Very enjoyable morning up to Darwen tower albeit it was a bit parky.
I’m likely to lose my Sunday morning rides once my lads football starts again and mates get out on sat mornings on the MTBs which I’m looking forward to.

Other than that this week it’s shopping, cleaning, washing, ironing, walking the dog and buying some fence posts to replace some rotten ones. I bought a fancy dewalt impact driver/drill thing last week to help with the fencing as I’ve been waiting for an excuse to buy one.
I’ll fit in a ride or two whether that’s indoor or outdoor dependant on the weather.

Not forgetting collecting the bike, I’ll post some photos when it arrives.

Have a good week.

Stuart.
