Back from getting my first Covid jab (Oxford - Astra Zeneca) and had a lovely bike ride on a beautiful and sunny spring afternoon while I was at it. Happy days! I arrived too early and so did a bit of a bonus bimble.

Now sat down with a nice and a couple of custard creams.

Oh, and I got a sticker to say I had my jab.

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

I detest the things and will be glad when I don't have to wear one.

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'

Hit. Nail. On. Head.

Don't think this hub gets many cyclists. I totally flummoxed the volunteers in the car park by asking for directions to the nearest bike rack. After much head scratching, I ended up locking the bike to a convenient signpost instead.

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.

I don't mind wearing a mask, especially now that I've solved the cat hair problem by hand washing them. Besides, they do hide your spots and pimples.

Poor cats....hope they don‘t mind being hand washed!

You mean, like this?

This is my old boy Toby, btw... I miss him so much, he was such a character.

With hindsight, I'm not feeling very well today . I keep making poor choices, I feel a but foggy, had a headache earlier and could have got a speeding ticket...booted it to overtake a lorry before a crawler lane finished...and forgot I was on a 60 mph section. Ah well, if I've overcooked it, no complaints.
Just not on it today, foggy, a bit under the weather perhaps.

Strange bike is back from West Peoria, after a trip through the grey, rain soaked countryside in the back of my SUV. I have now made a homemade pizza , and a couple of bambi burgers for my lunch this week.

Nice HP Pavillion there. With superfluous biometric scanner which if yours is anything like the last 3 HPs I’ve had, it stopped working after a week.

Which film are you watching?

TT done on a very busy A60 south of Worksop. Had a flat front 3 mins before my start but the car was close enough to fit the spare front we had. A hot, sticky, busy 10 miles.

The fuss afterwards of trying to find somewhere doing ice cream at 4.30pm. Basically ... nowhere nearby

Never having heard of a bambi burger, is it venison in in a bun?

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 ?

Grappling hook and a rope, how else.

Grappling hook and a rope, how else.

With a pulley and a couple to pushey?
