Good day to you all. Frost last night and looks decidedly chilly outside. I'm snug with coffee. The sky suggests today will be a gloriously autumnal, forecast says otherwise.

The video interview which should have been last week is at 12.00. Clean shirt and beard trim I think.

The local chat is we will be in Tier 3 lockdown by the weekend. Threefold increase in Chorley infections in the last week - 239. I don't feel I'll be affected by this. Groups of six in the countryside would be allowed. We will continue to ride, a good thing as I've nothing else left in my life to do.

Speaking with friends it seems for many going to Tier 3 will have a mental rather than actual impact - if that makes sense?

I see Wales may introduce travel restrictions from England. Has anyone told @Dave7 ?

Morning all :hello:

Looks like being a nice sunny day.
Hitching up in a couple of hours and moving on to Bodmin Moor.
Will probably stay there until Monday, but might extend if the weather holds out.
The site we are on at the moment has got to be the quietest we've ever been on (and we've been on a lot!). No traffic or aircraft noise, no sheep or shouting cows. Can't be many places like this.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Yesterday evening I became aware of a strange metallic smell. I checked in the kitchen as Mrs Tenkay has a habit of putting beetroot on to boil and then forgetting until the pan boils dry,😉 All was well so I did a quick scan of the electrical appliances but found nothing untoward.
Of course, being a bloke I immediately self diagnosed the persistent smell as being the first symptoms of Covid. As I lay in bed last night planning my wake, I swallowed and realised that I could "taste" the smell. That's when the penny dropped and I realised that what I'd been "smelling" was probably an artefact of the healing process following my double tooth extraction on Monday.
Alls well that ends well 😁
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️
