Doesn't feel like a cold; they tend to knock me sideways. Also no sore throat or similar, just stuffed.

During first lockdown I was due one of those 5 yearly NHS healthy checkups for 40-74 year olds. GP asked me to do a reading at home if I could and submit it online. I got one of those automated and validated upper arm cuffs. Now I check it about once a month.

Any recent exposure to a different kind of sawdust, e.g. new wood, finer grain, etc.?

Mild, blustery and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.
I overslept (oops) - the classic thing of waking up too early, then turning over and going back to sleep... Anyways, I have had a kitchen morning and prepared coronation chicken, tzatziki and tabbouleh.
It is time for luncheon, and I has a hungry.

Nothing that I know of. In fact I'm doing less wood work than ever at the moment, unfortunately...

Lovely luncheon. Two slices of granary toast, one with homemade coronation chicken, one with burrata cheese, plus a pear, a clementine and two 
The clementine was the very last one left from the 7.5 kilos that I'd bought. And they were all delicious, from beginning to end.

I need to fill one of the wood bins in the house. I didn't do it yesterday.

I'm on my way out for a drink. I think it's the first time this year.

Out of interest I was browsing through CTCsections in Leicestershire.
The Loughborough section appears to have gone out of existence.Beside the CTC section we had The Soar Valley Wheelers Loughborough College cycling club and a YHA group.which as far as I can see no longer exist
Leicester CTC had the General. Intermediate.Loiterers and photo group
Charnwood section seems to still be in existence and has Sunday runs
Loughborough has a Wednesday group There are groups meeting in Broughten Astley and Barrow On Soar
I joined the Loughborough group in1956 We had a club room at theRoyal oak A runs committee,Social committee and two District Association reps
Club runs were always well attended and were all day rides never returning home much before 7 PM
Things seem to have changed since the CTC became Cycling UK
I don’t have much experience of the local club scene and am quite happy to bimble about on my own or put my bike in the car to go a bit further afield
One or two club runs stick in my mind are Alton towers Trentham Gardens pre development days
Matlock was a Mecca for cyclists.Last time I visited admittedly by motor bike Motorcycle had taken over.
I rode with the Loughborough section ten or twelve years. I don’t know if I now view that period through rose coloured spectacles But for me it was a golden era of cycling.
Here end the the musings of an old fart

Fire in industrial estate?
Having a nicely uneventful evening, cup of tea on the sofa then will tune the guitar and play for a bit. We collected my new car today so every car journey is even more of an adventure than usual. Automatic rather than manual, hybrid rather than diesel, not entirely sure what its bike carrying capabilities are yet… I just need a little bit of normal now.
