Lovely bright day, mild but breezy, and the sun has got his hat on.

Did some general puttering around and re-jigged of the fridge in the kitchen. Have also cut some more parts for the Higman model. The paint issue has meant I've got to put the brakes on work below the waterline for now (well, until the filler comes out of quarantine), so I've switched my attention to the roll cage.

It is almost lunchtime.

After lunch, I will have to go out and collect my mum's prescription.

Signed off sick with a cold for the week.

Obviously I'll need to get plenty of fresh air though, to stay healthy, you know...

Hope you feel more chipper soon xxx

I'm watching Matt Hancock speaking from his cupboard under the stairs . He seems to have won 2 best in show rosettes.

Well, that won't be me wot's awarded them.

I am sending what could be my last post.I am sat waiting with my bag packed for a holiday at Her Maj's pleasure.It seems some illegal activity has taken place on my Lioyds account.Would i contact them with details.
Well sorry to say i don't have a fooking ,apologies for the word.Lioyds account and i never will.Way way back 1986 when my dad died,on my mother's birthday i might add.I had the task of sorting out everything.I went to Lioyds Bank on The Headrow Leeds,to inform them and to ask please close the account.A staggering amount of £28.The fee for closing the account came to £25 leaving my mum £3.I remember it well,and a letter could they be of assistance in opening an account for her,please contact.Well i went in and complained at the cost,i got fobbed off,so mum's new account went to Barclays,when she died in 2000,they were just totally brilliant,i had no problems at all.They even paid the Funeral costs out of her balance and gave me the rest.So sorry Mr Scammer today pass orf.Funny how a word or two brings back a memory long laid to rest.

Thanks. I'm not too bad, not yet at least.

It's more that if I go to work with a cold at the moment it causes more problems than it solves: some clients have poor personal hygiene so they'd likely catch it, and then the staff would have to treat it as C-19 and get the clients tested.

We ask all the clients if they have symptoms every morning and if they do, they have to go to the doctors. If I'm at work snuffling and spluttering it would be hard for clients to understand why I could stay at work and they couldn't.

Can sell you a couple of cans of "Fresh Yorkshire Country Air".
How many do you want?

Sure am getting restless, between the weather and the Covid restrictions. It will be so fine to bitch about how the summer is too hot and what a pain in the patoot working in the garden is, as I bite into a ripe tomato with juice running down my chin after coming back from an early ride in shorts and T shirt. Just sayin.

Then you'll have the sweat dripping off you and it'll be too warm.

New dishwasher trays have arrived as they old ones were getting rusty/broken. Only they didn't have all the plastic bits or fittings, so I've had to transfer them. I'm now short part of a thumbnail (again).

Took the opportunity to give the dishwasher spray arms a good clean-out as they were

Flipping foot's swollen again after a 4 mile walk on Sunday. It had been fine riding on three occasions last week - 15 miles turbo, 10 miles off road, then 20 miles off road (road shoes on turbo and MTB boots on MTB).

Might need to bin my walking shoes - only had them 8 months, but the tread has worn right off, and, of course, is worn more on the outside due to the way I walk. The good side is that shows how much walking I've been doing. They are/'were' comfy. They are possibly not providing enough support now.

Lovely 58 mile outing. Bit of a headwind in second half though. Now 5 days since AZ vaccine.

You can't import it any more.

We have plenty of nice Black Forest air though, so I'll live. (I've noticed I cough less here than in Stuttgart because the pollution is much lower)

The one in Sevendroog Castle, or the one at the top of Oxleas Meadows? 🤔

Well, the café's still there. There was a queue when I returned which wasn't moving at all while I waited. So I gave up and returned home for a coffee. @PeteXXX I had a look round at the foot of the meadow but I couldn't see any trace of any POW-type buildings ever having been there.
