We had a very short walk to our friend Mary’s house with her birthday present this morning. Placed the pressie in the bag in front of the door and sang Happy Birthday to her from her front lawn. Other than that we have been home all day. More jobs done, a good sort out of […]
First day after the Govt extended lockdown for another 3 weeks at least. The way things look at the moment, over 800 hospital Covid-19 deaths today, it could go on much longer. Visited Mum this morning to do her shopping and collect up her laundry which is not looking all that nice! Some rain tonight […]
Unsurprisingly, the Govt announced that lockdown will go on for at least another 3 weeks. Sue and I are coping OK, just frustrating not seeing the family. However, families living in high rise flats with no garden it must be a nightmare. I have heard the sad news that a past KFB friend of mine […]
I seem to be doing a bit more running lately than cycling, but today I did do another local ride and tackled 3 hills again. This time I did the infamous 17% East Hall Hill which made me puff, back down Wierton and then up Loddington Hill. So far so good, a lovely sunny and […]
Reports today that the UK economy will drop to a level unseen since the great depression in the 1920s. Cases of Covid-19 are still rising so everything looking very grim. Huge concerns also of the number of deaths in care homes. So glad we didn’t put Mum in one before the crisis. She would have […]
Still no sign of a relaxation in lockdown yet. Spain and Italy are ahead of us and are now about to start a tentative and possibly staged, reduction in controls.

Today has been lovely weather a bit of cloud about, but this is definitely the end. Tomorrow maximum here is 9 degrees! Went for a short run with Sue early on (2.2 miles ) then I did a local 4.14 miles. Spent the rest of day in garden lazing and some gardening. Stats today show […]
Today the temperatures were up to 25 degrees, just like mid summer. However, a pleasant day tomorrow but then a NE wind comes in and temperatures drop to a max of 9 degrees for a few days. So today we made the most of the sunshine by spending this afternoon in the garden reading and […]
Lazy day at home today following our rather excessive walk yesterday. Weather still very warm and sunny. A bit of gentle gardening this morning but I did manage to sweep and tidy my garage, well, a bit of tidying anyway. All interspersed with some dozing in the sun in the back garden oh yes and […]
Some good news tonight, the PM is out of Intensive Care but remains in hospital. Hopefully all will be well with him. What a beautiful day weatherise. Unbroken clear blue skies and no sign of an aircraft until the evening when about 3 left from London. Top temperature was 23 degrees so after doing some […]
