Good day everyone. Looks like the terrible forecast has shifted forward by 24 hours to Sunday. Blue skies here and the sun is up.
Been an odd 24 hours. We had lovely ride in beautiful sunshine ambling round the
Ribble Valley with some spectacular views. After all the rain the air is wonderfully clear. 64 miles, 3800 feet, 15mph average. Very pleased with that effort.
Then great news the garage say my tyres are good for a few months and on checking the log I found the annual service isn't due till late June. Cashflow is poor at the moment so this is excellent.
A big worry for me is to discover my best friend's sister has Covid-19 and the whole family is in isolation except my friend. She is having to do food drops etc. My friend already has a very pressured life so I'm really concerned about this. I've offered to do the shopping or other stuff. I doubt she'll accept.
For my family Mrs P has had a bad cough for more than two months and is asthmatic. Puts her in the vulnerable group. So this is a concern. No.2 son has Downs Syndrome and has Supported Living in the Community in a house with three other young men. If one gets Corona the others will. Then there is the issue with carers who attend on a 24 hour basis. We don't have a plan but will cross the bridge when it arrives.
Cycle club have issued a reminder to everyone to follow WHO and PHE advice.
I'm going shopping for cycle shoes this morning.
