Just a short visit to show I have not gone away entirely and to thank those who expressed condolences.
While the anniversary is a sad occasion I have never been so badly affected in the past.
Now I suspect I was lower than usual as I have been struck down with the dreaded lurgi ie covid. Last night I had the first decent night’s sleep for a week and the cough seems to have abated a bit but by no means out of the wood yet.
My taste and sense of smell are normal but interest in food is low which is why I have lost 1Kg in weight in the past week.
No idea where I picked this up as I am never without a mask indoors and not been in any crowded places recently. I suspect the physio as I only had the surgery supplied mask rather than my preferred FFP3 and she was uncomfortably close while manipulating my shoulder.
Still feeling pretty washed out.

Ah man... *HUGS* :hugs:

(socially distanced, of course... ;))

133 miles completed over my two days in Connemara. Today was much better weather thankfully. I developed a sore knee during today's ride which is unusual for me. I had taken the bike in the car to a junction about 15 miles away to cut today's route down to a more sensible distance and now pleases I did as I could never have coped with another thirty mile. I really struggled with my knee for the last 15.

When I got back into the car, I emptied the pockets of my cycling jacket and set everything on top of the dashboard and 2 x €2 coins instantly slid down the dashboard and into the heater vent, almost as if Skoda had designed it to that. :evil:

Now waiting on my spaghetti bolognese :hungry:
 
Just been outside . There is a Hedgehog eating some cat biscuits I put out .
The dead dove has been removed from the roof .
I did a bit of banging . I bought a butane canister yesterday and did a bit of shrinking on part of my helmet . It is half of the dome part of the helmet . I cut it in half so that I could work it more easily . It means though that I have to try to make the other side match .
My wife bought a small pack of KitKats. They are 2 finger ones wrapped in aluminium foil . The chocolate is dark, hard and tastes like it should! That other pack we had was carp! :angry:

This brought back memories of neatly nibbled mouse spines and tails left under the bed….

Good for you, lots of time to plan routes now. I enjoyed reading about the rides that you planned and did this year.

Somewhere with decent coffee and cake on the way and with the right number of hills. And preferably no potholes. What’s on your shortlist?

Haven't been to hebden bridge for some time!
