Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
New machine ordered. Should be here on Tuesday. A Beko 8kg machine and they will take my old one away as well.

Turned out to be a nice sunny day with little wind so out about lunch time for a short trike spin. Not much traffic and one car stopped in a passing place waiting to get a puncture fixed. The morning rush was over and everything had stopped for lunch I presume.
Nice relaxed run and stopped to look at things along the way several times.
The next few days do not look too good tho' with high winds for a while tomorrow and some rain.
Temperature looks set to rise by Sunday so the weeds will get a good start before I can get out to clear them.
My last bloods were apparently marked as normal but seems to be no follow up as requested by the previous GP who seemed very keen tho' she did have a student to impress. Why am I anaemic? Will wait till my next nurse appointment who at least has some continuity. That is one non improvement we have seen with the latest system of a pool of mainland GPs who come for a week at a time. The health board clearly do not want any resident doctors here tho' it was a system which worked for many years.

What a superb effort, a few weeks ago the 5 year old son of a cycling friend cycled 10 miles raising money for Zoes Place a local children's hospice, I've just heard that he raised £871.

I managed a ride today, 41 miles into the Hertfordshire countryside , it’s was still a bit fresh out there. I checked my 2019 cycle records, 7 may to St Neots Cambridgeshire 103 miles on fixed . Unless there’s massive increase in my mileage , I won’t be doing that distance this year.
I have a friend who is in a Ukulele band based in Earls Barton Northamptonshire, “the Ukes of Earl ”.

She beat me to it today!
My bubble pal came over by train this afternoon. She often picks up a Metro but didn't today, so I asked why - had they had all gone? Apparently not - there were still at least 30 or 40 left - she had just assumed that I would already have one. I hopped on my bike to nip down to the station to get one. The sun was shining so I did a little extra 30 minute loop but when I got to the station the Metro dispenser was bare! Phantom paper pilferer must have got there in that 30 minute window...
I hunted around for discarded papers and found one in the waste bin. I hesitated to pick up a potentially Covid-contaminated paper, but decided to go ahead and scrub my hands when I got home. I'd tear out the crossword puzzle page and put the rest of the paper back in the bin. No joy... somebody had beaten me to it - the puzzle page had ALREADY been torn out.

Are there any station staff there now, and are they aware of what's going on.
