I nipped out to Lidl on my bike this afternoon to buy a few things to keep me going until the collective Christmas madness is over, and things get back to ordinary Covid-madness...
The sun was shining giving lovely blue skies, but it was really nippy in a biting northerly wind. I had thermal long johns on under my Ron Hill tracksters, a short-sleeved cycling jersey, a long-sleeved jersey over that, then a windproof gilet, and on the outside of all that, a fleece. I had my fleecy buff/mask on plus a skull cap under my crash hat. Long-fingered gloves on my hands...
It is just a 3 km round trip but I was feeling pretty chilled when I got back, and looking forward to getting back into a heated room. I was dismounting when I looked across the road and spotted a man in early 20s walking along wearing... trainers, short socks, skimpy shorts, and a thin t-shirt...
My reaction to that convinced me - YES, I AM GETTING OLD!
Just catching up on the news. So, they have FINALLY come to some agreement on Brexit terms. Now let's just see if all of the politicians involved actually vote it through!
The BBC were doing their annual review of famous people who have died this year, and there have been an awful lot of them. In fact, the Brexit news cut the list short so there were even more than we saw.
I will be having my first solo Christmas. I don't actual like the whole festive season concept though, so that doesn't really concern me.
I hope that those of you who ARE festive fans manage to have a nice time even though the virus will probably have scuppered most of your plans.
Stay safe, and look forward to the virus being seen off in the second half of next year. I'm looking forward to eventually cycling with CycleChatters again!
