Mild, breezy and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Spent the morning watching the snooker, and I'm about to make myself a sandwich and a and settle down to watching the E-Prix from Valencia.

Then I'll be tootling off for my jab later.

Have you ever done that bit where you are writing a long essay where you create a loop and find yourself writing the start all over again ?

Not with an essay, but I have done it with sentences and paragraphs.

My four bike roofrack stops me cleaning my car, a lame excuse I know

Yup lame. My rack is on 6 months of the year and I wash my car every week (yes I am Weird)

Sheer laziness stops me.

That Formula E race was totally bananas. I'd hate to be sitting in race control right now...

Anyways, time to stick some cycling kit on and pedal off to my stabby jabby appointment.

Good idea to cycle for the jab. I felt fine after my 20 mile return ride, and I'm sure it whizzes it round the system better ! Plus you get brownie points from the staff turning up in cycling gear - 'oh I like fit patients'

Just been to a new 'micro-brewery' that's opened in the village- won't be going back anytime soon- about a hundred people ignoring Covid advice and drinking to excess... beer was OK but nothing to get excited about.

I've discovered that I'm not a social animal- just get irritated by people ignoring Covid advice who are probably perfectly O)K when not inebriated. My own fault for venturing into it thinking it might be fun.

There is cabin fever going on. Give it a bit of time/months.. Not bothered myself, but seeing the numbers in a local village all crammed outside a few coffee shops as I cycled past, erm nope. Lots of our local pubs are bookings only.

I've just walked down to have my second jab. On my way there I spotted a GT mountain bike dumped into a brook .

Now it would be my public duty to try to remove that rubbish from blocking that brook .
Trouble is . How do I get over the high fence to get to it ?

I've just had a social beer! The first of the year. Friends have had a child and it was their first visit to London since way before their 5 month old child was born. It takes a while to get over the avoiding people habit but it did remind me of olden, more gregarious times.

On the way home I had to swerve to avoid a small animal lying in the road. Looking at it as I went past I realised that it was a brown suede shoe!

My wife just asked me had I taken those "B" vitamins ?

Was she swearing ?

There must be a way because the person who dumped the bike did it! (Unless of course they threw the bike over the fence!)

I went into Bedford this morning and it was heaving with people, most of them were maskless too. I noticed they all put on masks when entering the shops though, and of course when they were on the bus. I felt quite safe as there were only two other people on the bus going in and coming back I was upstairs alone for most of the journey. Downstairs was more populated though.

I don't know about you but wearing a mask doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Sort of got used to a mask for a shop, but being a glasses wearer, it's a pain - better now it's warmer.
