With the trailer event only a week away I decided yesterday to take a walk as training exercise. I went to Boughton Mon via some paths I came across. Amazing what you can discover so close to home. The old Mushroom farm at Loddington is now separate units with small businesses all working together to help each other. Great community endeavour. Unfortunately, i spent so much time chatting to people my long walk finished up as just 5 miles! That’s my training for Thursday done, then! Watched the England v Scotland game. A miserable 0-0 performance by England who were lucky not to lose to the Scots who played much better.
Today I had a day off from vaccine duties so I rejoined my old B Group ride with SFA. Great ride and nice to meet some old friends after all these months. I managed 52 miles today. Tonight I watched some of the Portugal v Germany game. Much better game, a thriller ending 4-2 to Germany. Even Sue thought it was good, but couldn’t understand why Germany’s best player was substituted near the end. I explained it was to keep him injury free for next game but Sue felt they should play the whole game as they are earning so much money! Hmmm!
Italy are now requiring a 5 day quarantine once Brits arrive there. They are already in Amber so for those with holidays booked it’s two PCR negative tests, 5 days in quarantine in Italy then 10 days when they return home. It could well be that Spain follow suit. We still haven’t given up on our September trip but it’s not looking good.
