LazyDaisy I have been strumming my fingers and sat around for nearly a week now going stir crazy and am still not needed so am just off out on the bike.

Would love to meet you at Chester (no am not running but am going to the meet up)

LD last two years I have run Clarendon marathon with VLM virtual number on my back lots of peeps do it. I was thinking about doing Chester a few nights back 🤔

Babies can be very keen on staying 'in' sometimes can't they :-)

I've entered - it's not that expensive (£28) and it gives me the option. Ideally the Granny duties could wait until I've run Chester ;-)

Lovely afternoon X2 bikes washed degreased and re-done ready for when I can venture out. Will have to think about a new front tyre soon for the road bike.

Just back from a bike ride and the country lanes were so busy today, lost count of the times I had to pull in. Think the locals are all avoiding town and the docks still

Tis a glorious day today and was a tad over dressed - it feels gold to be able to say that

Evening troops!

No running today, I also have a non Covid lurgy, foot feels iffy after wandering around in wellies all day, and I've mostly been staying around to project manage the building/demolition dramas (see blog).

Will try to get out tomorrow afternoon, after kitchen designer #3 has been to have a look, and once I know what builders plan to do.

Tired, lurgified and stressed, but sunshine and daffodils make it all bearable! (as do wine and olives!)

Is Dover bad? Mr F has to be at Buckland Hospital for a sleep clinic appointment by 9am next week, not looking forward to having to leave even earlier in case of traffic problems.

Must say it’s a little unfair to have the sleep clinic starting that early in the morning 😅

At certain times it seems to be. Will have the school traffic at that time too. TAP seems to be doing a good job of keeping the A20 running ok

Not just unfair but ironic.

Seem to be a lot of lurgies around. Often are, in early spring.

3.18 miles done in running club's "gentle" (i.e., old, slow or coming back from injury) group.

Evening peeps, sorry been manically busy. Hope all are well.

Finally got the 'Rona yesterday. Only tested today cos was going for lunch with a friend due to go overseas on Thursday with his family to visit his elderly in-laws. Throat a bit scratchy yesterday and slight cough, so I thought I'd check just in case and boom I'm a statistic :-) No other symptoms and feel fine. DS2 also tested today and he's +ve too, so one of us infected the other. He's competely asymptomatic and miffed that his social life is now curbed. Anyway, hopefully clear in a few days and certainly in time to head off on holiday in 2 weeks time, so in some ways timing is pretty good.
