Went for a walk with Mrs Tenkaykev as part of her John Muir Way build up. Walked around the inner bay via Upton country park and past the RNLI before turning into a biting north wind for the last 5k or so. Total of just over 14K walked, and added to my general faffing about I've just passed 20K steps for the day. ( I once worked out that my daily steps record must be in the region of 250K)
I had " worthy"* toast with crunchy peanut butter and home made marmalade followed by piece of flapjack, followed by a nap on the sofa ^_^
* Worthy toast is how we refer to a home made loaf that comes out more like a house brick that a proper loaf. We don't like to waste food so we use it for toast, plus the amount of chewing required must burn a few extra calories!

My stepson has been round this afternoon and dropped off a basket of flowers for his Mum.

Lovely flowers @dave r

The news says hairdressers in Wales can open next week. Am I allowed in to Wales? I would love to get a professional haircut and beard trim.

I've considered shaving scalp and face completely and letting it all grow again!! :laugh:

I think a trip to Wales for a haircut might prove expensive, though it depends if you break the eleventh comandment or not. ^_^

No travelling to Wales for a haircut for anyone from England :laugh:.

I can now use my discretion on how far I travel as I live in the middle of nowhere. Thank god. If I could only travel 5 miles, I would only be able to stand in a bloody field.

This whole travel 'locally' thing needs defining properly.
I consider anywhere within a 50 mile radius 'local' ie. still within Devon.

That’s just given me a “ lightbulb moment” I remember a farm somewhere around Corfe Castle / Swanage way that made quite a tidy income from “Zorbing”
You get attached to a harness inside a bit transparent plastic ball and they push you down the side of a hill. Not exactly my cup of tea but it ticks the boxes of social distancing. Any hills on your country estate @welsh dragon ?

MrsP gave me a haircut this week, it looks like a cross between Peaky Blinders and a Victorian workhouse job.
I am thinking of taking the lot off and starting from scratch. :ohmy:
