Put the bike inside the car, you will have less drag and no heavy lifting over your shoulders.

Bonjour. After having heavy rain most of the night, I am glad to report that it is sunny now so, depending on the state of the roads, I might have another ride this afternoon.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I am very embarrassed by the state of my pantry so I have decided to have a day of clearing it out of all the rubbish. So far I have found a bottle of reggae reggae sauce that has a best before date of 2013. 
Maybe to try and keep it low ???Morning groundhogs
Walking down to the village first thing.
Doggie walking when we get back.
Read yesterday that North Devon has the lowest Covid rate in Devon and it's falling, so that's good.
If you are living in a low rate area, it's difficult to understand why we should be locked down the same as somewhere like, say, London.
Be glad when this nonsense is over.

I don’t envy your fatigue but would love to get some more sleep!WoWza..... up at 06.15 and felt good.
07.15 that sh*t fatigue hit me like a brick.
Managed to crawl up the stairs to bed. Zonked out.....totally. 2 1/2 later I have just woken up. If I actually, really, wake up I will be fine
Sunny here now but still very cold.
Yes.... a nice compromise would be good wouldn't it.

"Due to being disabled, I should not have been outside at the time." So possible they mean I should have been shielding. But even that allows for shopping and medical needs.
There's sod all help from them, council, and they can't talk to a doctor for me.

Hello all
Just been looking at the 'How Local' and Brexit threads so I thought I would come here for some semblance of sense
We have had a strange, and not nice, smell in the kitchen for the last few days
after cleaning all the surfaces and checking for rotting stuff left over from Christmas it was still there
I scrubbed the whole fridge out yesterday morning - still there
SO I dragged the whole fridge out and scrubbed the area under it (how does much get right under the fridge???)
still the smell persisted
There was a suspicion that it was the microwave - it was old and battered and turned out to be rusty when I tried to scrub it - so we dumped it and bought a new one
still the smell persisted
Finally I found the drip tray in the back of the fridge was full of some sort of sludge
For some dumb reason the designers of the fridge decided that the drip tray does not need to be removable.
so it took me nearly 2 hours to dig out all the sludge and clean the whole tray out
would have been a 5 minute job it it was removable!!!!
came down this morning to a smell free kitchen
today's plan is for a bike ride in a few minutes (staying local) followed by the pleasure of power washing the patio and driveway to get the super slippy moss off it before I break something that stops me cycling

Pantry is now cleaned. I don't think Mr WD is a happy bunny though. He has retreated into the spare bedroom to play on the PlayStation.

I have no doubt that in 6 weeks Mr WD will ask me where X Y or Z has gone even though it was 7 years out of date, was broken, or hasn't been used in 10 years and he will say ' I was going to use that".

Have done the cleaning. It’s bright and 
but still sub zero. Will probably just go for a walk after lunch.

It's damp and moist here. (The weather that is)

Volvo deposited at the dealers. A pleasant, if chilly, ride home.
