Locally Covid cases have doubled again to 500. Guidance is no travel outside of Lancashire. We're in the shoot once again.
Not good news.

Gosh! First today. Well good morning from another beautiful day in Lancashire. Truly awful sleep and I will try for a doze shortly.

Out for a ride with my eldest boy today. I'll take him for a scenic loop to the Ribble Valley and coffee at a favourite cafe. Hopefully I won't feel quite as nackered at 10.00 as I do now. 😃

Listening to people chat yesterday the local mood is grim regarding the new guidance for Lancashire. Friends who have respected the rules, guidance etc. from the start have had enough. It's clear they will carry on as normal. While I have lots of sympathy for them I can't agree so kept my mouth firmly 🤐

Yes, but something I expected to happen. Must admit though I thought it would result from the easing of lockdown rather than a new variant.

Really had to bite my tongue last night as I don't want to fall out with friends who are clearly very unhappy.
I understand where you are coming from. Myself & MrsD echo your thoughts.
We were discussing "variants" yesterday. Part of me is asking why we cannot get help with long Covid.
On the other hand WHICH VARIATION are we suffering from ???
Even this morning I was sat here at 0530, body shaking, sweating and legs like jelly.
There are people far worse than me eg 6 feet under but it is proving a real b*stard for NHS to deal with.

Good morning all ^_^^_^.
Felt rough earlier but coming around now.
May do an Aldi dash at 0745......nothing desperately needed but it will give me a goal.
Urgent job to do......toe nail cutting :wacko:.
I can scratch my back with mine and MrsDs bad back means she can't reach to do her own.

Barnet,
Just listening to radio 2 and Zoe Ball was saying she had her bush trimmed yesterday :wacko:
I heard that too.:eek: There seemed to be a lot of it going on.

Good morning world, it's going to be a warm one, so shall be out with the dog very soon while it's a bit cooler. :sun:

I feel we're not being told the whole truth though, again.
Who is getting the variant.
Is it vaccinated people, which means we are totally farked. Or is it people who have declined, or those who travelled abroad and came back with it from a red or amber listed country. Or those younger persons who are yet to be vaccinated?
Once again we are not being the facts.

Morning all :hello:

Hitching up in a couple of hours and heading up the M5 to Gloucestershire. Forecast is looking good for the next fortnight, at the moment. :smile:
Here's one for @Mo1959

I think I might have lost it in sweat this morning. Slowest 10k ever as it was so humid. The legs normally feel heavy at the best of times but felt like I was wearing lead diving boots today. Still gives me a buzz knowing I've done it though.

Enjoying my cereal with nice cold milk now.
