Another question for the oldies.
I am 73
MrsD is 70
I am reading about this virus/self isloation causing a baby boom.
I have told MrsD to go on the pill.
She just laughed at me and told me I am being silly.
Who is right ??
You finished reading that other book already!!

Hmmmm........well today has been interesting.

My cycle club has suspended all official club activities. Both as an individual and club secretary I support this 100%

It's becoming clear there are some members who disapprove of those who choose to continue riding. I am continuing to ride. I'm concerned we may see, in society, divisions on subjects such as this.

The lady who owns the cafe we visited was absolutely delighted we were there. We've told her those of us in our OAP group who continue to ride intend to support the cafes which have always looked after us.

This next bit isn't good. We did 54 miles. Apart from the outskirts of Chorley it's like a post-apocalyptic movie out there. Very few cars, few people around, eerily quiet, no distant traffic hum. Very, very weird and it's only going to get more so.

Which is not meant to be depressive, just what we found as we ambled round a familiar route.

Forecast is actually improving so hopefully get out a bit too. I’ve spoken to a few of my immediate neighbours offering help if they need it, but going by some of the government’s posts even those of us over 60 are at risk, so I don’t want to get too involved with people that are ill.

I'm intending to keep riding for as long as I can, though the weather isn't looking good for tomorrow:sad:. Already some of the cafés I use regularly are switching to take away only. If we end up being isolated for a long period of time I'm thinking I may finally get round to redecorating the lounge, I've been putting the job off for a couple of years, its a big job, the room is 24 foot long and between 12 and 15 foot wide.

The pub has pulled the plug on our mother's day meal, :sad: I've just had a call from them, apparently most people have cancelled so they are now closing on Sunday.:sad: I'm not hopeful that we will find another pub.:sad:
