£27/£29 a box or £5 odd for a single test.

Daylight fecking robbery...

Daylight fecking robbery...

Yep, and with an increase in cases locally, slightly stupid.

Agreed. Cases spiking here too - about the same levels we were around Christmas. Given the symptoms, how else do I know it's covid or simply hayfever...

Drat... Ah well, remember it for next time...

Will the Grand Opening involve bunting, cake, a celebrity and a ribbon that wants cutting?

No ribbon to be cut, just the foil pack, but if you want to supply the cake I wouldn't say no

So much for the extended ride home - found the bike had a soft rear tyre when I got it out of the bike shed. Took the tube out and couldn't hear or feel any air leakage so back in with the tube, pump it back up and wheel back onto the bike and rode home with the normal arsefeel of a properly pressured rear tyre so it looks like one of those really slow punctures.
At least I had plenty of time to get the car washed ready for the weekend. If there's time tomorrow I may even polish it.

Knowing you, something chocolatey?

The girls like Dreamies, but they also don't mind the Tesco version. And the Felix crunchies go down well here too.

When it comes to treat sticks though, only the Webbox will do. Poppy will eat the Tesco own-brand ones, but Lexi turns her little nose up at them...

Bob and Kizzy like the Asda version called "pockets" or something. They only get about six at a time.

Looks like it's going to be another glorious day. Will be going for my walk soon, starting to think that I might be well enough to resume morning rides

Pitta bread and salad made, breakfast eaten, shower next and then out for the first ride this week. Lovely day but I will get train and cycle back the scenic route as I was ill with heavy cold for a few days this week so don't want to knacker myself out for tomorrow's adventures. 😁

Morning.
It is sunny here. I can see a bit of mist in the valley between us and 2 transmitter masts. There used to be just one huge concrete one but they have now got a thin metal one next to it .
I think we will make our trek back down South today.

I'm currently considering mixing Tesco's red and gold leaf teas. I've got a gold label brew on the go and, while it's a pretty good tea (and @Reynard's tea of choice), I miss some of the cheap and cheerfulness of the red label. One part red to 2 parts gold might be a good starting point.

My daughter has decided that she can't be in 2 places at the same time so I'll be ferrying g-daughter to her riding lesson this morning.

Lovely morning which looking out could be summer but the temp is 2.3C.
Library day to find more books. The librarian keeps shifting things about and had put one of my favourite authors somewhere out of sync so will need to find where she had hidden them before deciding what to take out.

Leave the mist where it is, and don't forget to knock the Yorkshire soil of yer shoes.

The mist hasn't lifted as quickly as I expected but it will still be a nice day
