Morning all 
.
MrsD is planning a trip to Morrisons this morning. 1st time she has really been out for 12 months......I will drop her off (with wheelchair) so her sis can take her around then bring her home.
AND THEN.....
My Bro and SiL are visiting and we are going for a pub meal. Not decided yet but we both fancy the "sharing platter" with various dips.

Good morning. Another beautiful day has dawned. I've been looking at our local Covid-19 numbers - cases have soared, trebling in a week. We are currently at +/-300.
Saturday night was normal. That's not really big news is it? We had friends round for a meal and game of Canasta.......for the first time in 18 months. We truly have lost 1½ years. ☹
Later I'll replot Saturday's disastrous route and try again. I need to do some allotment work first.

Good morning, world.
Miss Salad has successfully bought her house in sunny Thanet, and we have spent the weekend stripping wallpaper and generally tinkering with various DIY tasks.
Today Miss Salad has wisely gone back to work, leaving further wallpaper stripping in the hands of her aged parents. So my day will consist of DIY, followed by a quick bit of food shopping and an evening meet up of our Monday night singing group, in someone's garden.
Have a good day, everyone.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. Another nice day here I think. At least it's not raining so that's a plus
Stay safe peeps

Good morning all, another beautiful day here in Nethy. Forecast looks good for the whole of the week.
Feels surprisingly quiet given the reported staycation boom. Yesterday in 11 miles of very accessible walking we saw a total of just 15 people.

Morning. Pleasant early walk done while it's nice and fresh out. Nearly 7 miles with a hill.
My old neighbours are staying in Crieff this week so Margaret is going to make lunch and we will sit out in the garden.
Do you like my castle? Lol. It's in the play area up on the Crieff Hydro's ground.

I am officially exhausted!
Bed at 03:00. Games until 03:30. Dozed off at 04:00. Woke up every hour since to check that I haven't overslept. Now bubble pal is strumming my guitar in the room above me. I am fairly sure that the guitar is not quite in tune and it bugs me...
Oh, now she has surfaced to make sure that I don't oversleep!
The reason for all this fuss is that I have to go to Leeds soon to pick up my 'Devon bike'!
I got lost on a 200 km Audax ride in 2006 and once was enough for me. All new routes since then have used GPS navigation. The only times I got lost since then were when I tried to improvise a variation.
Oops, my alarm has gone off. I must not miss the train since Venod is kindly meeting me in Leeds to save me having to go all the way to Pontefract.
See you later!

Don't you use GPS to navigate your club rides!!?

That rings a bell. After telling me a username was required and every one I tried was already in use I got exasperated and put in " Do you really want me to invent a new f---g name" to be told that was already in use. Borrowbox for books online from our local library.

It's a bit dull and breezy here now. Supposed to be a few degrees cooler than yesterday as well.
