Morning all.
No carer for MrsD today as she has to isolate for 3 days, ready for Tuesday's op'.
So I thought I would have a sleep in...... no chance. I was still awake by 0530. I can't stay in bed once I am awake so got up.
Not sure what to do. I should go for a walk but.......you k ow that feeling when you are not ill......you just don't feel well !!!
I will give it 30 minutes and see how I feel.

Good morning people.

Nice walk done. Bluebells are only just appearing here now. No doubt they have been out for a few weeks down south?

Ours are just appearing. I noticed some during yesterday's ride.

WTF is this all about? I try not to venture in to other non-cycling areas but do from time to time. If there are personal attacks the solution is simple and it's not upsetting the person who was attacked which is what I think has happened with you?

Good morning from glorious Lancashire, another beautiful day has dawned. I seem to have missed a day here. Good to see you all behaving properly and hope all is going well @Drago

I'd planned to join the Club Ride today but yesterday's gravel ride has left me very tired. Only 40 miles and my legs are great but the rest of me really feels the stress. This gravel stuff is far more physically demanding than road riding.

Lots of odds and ends today. I need to start sowing outdoor vegetables like spinach, chard, parsley, spring onions and lettuce. A trip to a local nursery for tomatoes, courgettes, onions and peppers is likely to happen.

I have a disgracefully dirty bike to clean.

Good morning all fellow early risers.
A nice bright start to the day here.
I have some more seedlings to prick out, and a bit more pottering around the garden is the order of the day.

Good morning folks,
Another sunny day☀️A walk beckons as I need to blow the cobwebs away.
Pleased with my new walking shoes, need another couple of outings to fully get used to them but initial impressions are favourable.
Stay safe folks 👍

Yeah so do we!! British Waterways put more effort in to towpaths than LCC do the roads!!

Morning all

Yet another nice day in the offing.
I'll be avoiding the beaches - sunshine & Sunday = crowds.
Off to see a couple of hill forts and stone circles today.

Stay safe folks.

I'll be heading inland and away from the more touristy places, even the local trailway get's quite busy with walkers, runners and cyclists. It's on Route 25 and we do on occasion see heavily laden bike tourists heading down towards Poole. The Heathlands are much less busy with just a few off roaders.

HIS view counts, my view is is worth nothing and I'm totally wrong,
lets agree that we can disagree
