This just came up on my facebook feed 
At 1st I was afraid, I was petrified,
There was no loo roll down at Aldi and I nearly cried.
Oh I spent so many nights just thinking how you did me wrong,
I used to wipe,
And now I’m forced to just drip dry !
No anti-bac !
No bloody soap,
and if you think you’re buying pasta well you’ve got no bloody hope !
I would have bought that box of eggs, I would have rationed out my bread,
If I’d have known for just one second everyone would lose their head !
Go on now go, walk out the door !
All you bloody stockpilers,
You are not welcome any more !
Weren’t you the ones who just bought all the sodding beans ?
You selfish gits !
I hope you spill them down your jeans !
Oh no not I, I won’t panic buy!
Oh as long as I have alcohol, I know I’ll stay alive,
Though I can’t buy my usual cheese,
This will not bring me to my knees
And I’ll survive, I will survive, hey, hey !
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
There was just apples and 1 carrot in my shopping cart,
And I spent hours walking round just feeling sorry for myself,
The empty store, with boxes strewn across the floor
And you’ll see me, somebody who,
Cannot buy anything she came for, and it’s all down to fecking you
And frickin Reg from down the road is such a selfish blimmin git
Because he stockpiled all the loo roll so nobody else can have a s@*t !
Go on now go, walk out the door !
All you bloody stockpilers,
You are not welcome any more!
Weren’t you ones who just bought all the sodding cakes
Can’t you make a crumble,
Do you people not know how to bake ?
Oh no not I, I won’t panic buy !
Oh as long as I have alcohol, I know I’ll stay alive,
Though I can’t buy my usual cheese
This will not bring me to my knees

Hatton the destination, 42 miles the journey. A short one for me this morning, but an enjoyable morning on the bike, that wind felt like it was blasting straight off the arctic icecap, I had cold arms and feet for most of the ride despite wearing a base layer, sweatshirt, winter jacket and gloves, and I was seeing riders out in shorts and short sleeved tops 
. With that cold blustery wind blowing I decided to keep it short and rode the direct route out to the cafe then a slightly longer route back home.

Numbnuts, you may have to lower yourself to a Brompton and an inflatable kayak. If it is your garage, how can they tear it down?

Pizza revenge?Well that was interesting.
Felt a bit rough so went to bed.
Just woke up with a load of acid, got to the bathroom and seriously upchucked.
Sat in conservatory now with fire on. Shaky but think/hope I will be ok.
Very strange.
Leaving some behind, untouched.
Whatever it is, hope it doesn't hang around too long for you.

Well, we went up on the mountain yesterday although the wind was stout enough to blow my cap off. It must be in Nebraska by now....only 15 years old and just broken in. So my wife made me buy 2 more on line. That should last for the rest of my life, anyway. Normally Aspens in the western US are yellow in the fall, but for some reason many on Casper Mountain and the adjoining Muddy Mountain are almost red. High winds again today so instead of biking I'll pick up branches and mow the lawn and other tediousness. Possible rain tomorrow which is very good for the forest fires in various places in Wyoming and surrounding states.
I dont think it knows where you are. You have to agree to the Google/Apple exposure notifications and these dont use GPS. The only location known is the postcode you enter, so if you go somewhere else, the risk rating wont change.
Here's the info from the settings panel on my phone

Hi no the garage is rented by the the housing assocation and they own the land, they will sell off the said land to a property developer and build another block of flats.
I will not know anything until I phone them on Monday as to where another garage is, just hope it's not to far away or my cycling days will be over.

Nice walk done. Pleasant in the sun but the wind is still very cold on the more exposed sections. Got stung on the side by a wasp that got in between my t-shirt and fleece. A bit ouchy.
Its that bloody @pawl ........he cleared a wasps nest earlier and obviously sent some up your way.
