First coffee downed, now for breakfast - Weetabix or half a chocolate bunny?

Good morning all, 2nd black coffee, sunny and no wind, might get a little ride in, we were disturbed by the hospital helicopter Monday night ( we are close to the hospital and on the flight path) some poor 80 year old man crashed his car and went down the cliff's where I have been riding lately, sadly he died in hospital yesterday

I know this really belongs in another section, however my father in law just sent this.

Absolutely devastated. A very sad day today. After 7 years of medical training and hard work, a very good friend of mine has been struck off after one minor indiscretion and why during this terrible time?
He slept with one of his patients (they were good friends) and can now no longer work in the profession he loves.
What a waste of time, effort, training and money. A genuinely nice guy and a brilliant vet.

I am still procrastinating about riding.
I have just made coffee no 3 and went out to let the rabbits out of their hutch, they have free reign in the garden, I found a dead Great Tit outside the kitchen window, looks like it had flown into the glass this morning, I also found a slug in a small plastic pot with a meal of lettuce by the door, looks like youngest has been collecting again!!!

Undressed in the garage, shorts on, its a start!!

Heard the helicopter again about 15 mins ago, the Army are here to give logistical advice according to the local radio.

I was going to sneak in a ride this morning, between dr. visit for me and vet visit for the dog, but it has snowed. -1C, it will probably melt, but not before Mrs. GA has a Skype meeting. As head dog wrangler, I must be present in to fulfill that office.

back now, 15.5 miles, most people are distancing well, however on a short shared path, a couple backed out of the way for me 6' at least, only for a runner to dive through the gap as i passed them, suitably told!

I'm keeping the neighbour rolling (from a distance). He borrowed a pedal spaner off me at weekend after struggling for a few days to remove his pedals - passed him a large Campagnolo spanner - I said if that doesn't get it off nothing will - it worked. Now passed him some tyre levers as he has a new rear tyre arriving in the post.

Now, both he and his missus ride every day to work/nursery, wife riding about 3 miles, him a mile or two with the toddler. Now how have they managed without tyre levers ? Very lucky not to have had a visit from the fairy !

I've had better nights sleep than this one... A certain blue & white madam decided she wanted to sleep on my head, and if I moved her, she kept biting me. So she was banned from the bedroom and I shut the door. By then it was already 5 am, and well, between her shouting to be let back in and scrabbling at the door, not to mention the increasing daylight...

Anyways, spent the morning potting on veggies. The first lot of beans are in their planter now, and the courgettes and pumpkins have been moved to bigger pots. Second lot of beans still need repotting, and need to sow more beans, tomatoes, peppers and courgettes.

Had a very fine lunch of bread, butter, salami and Manchego cheese, two and an orange. And the ears off my chocolate easter bunny.
