Good morning fellow retirees,
I reaffixed the suspension block on my Brommie yesterday, fortunately I had a spare block that I was able to cannibalise for the required washer. Going around tweaking the fixings there were a couple of the mudguard stay retaining screws that had started to loosen.
A lesson well learned, the more you ride the more frequently you need to check these things.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶♀️🏃♂️🚴♀️🏊🌞

Another thing to factor in is........ will you be able to get insurance?
Morning all,
Nice and bright outside. A few jobs to do today and then maybe a little ride out on the bike. My knees are still hurting a bit, but improving slowly. Must be an age thing
.
Dog walking first and then the fortnightly sainsbugs order coming this afternoon. This will be the first delivery since March.
Should the grass dry out sufficiently that will get a cut as well.
Busy busy busy..

Not if the Foreign office gives specific advice not to go to a certain area or country.

Just chatting to a lady on my way back from my walk and she is booked for Croatia......can't remember if she said August or September, but she doesn't want to go so is hoping the company will cancel and she will get a refund, but if not, she will cancel. She doesn't feel it's worth the risk.

Good day. The going back to sleep attempt has been successful though I did wake twice. No matter.
The hoolie is still blowing. It is blue and grey bins today. I need to lube my SPD pedals and cleats as the very irritating creak returned on Sunday. I'm so pleased to have an allotment to get me outside.
Re travel chat. We've decided we won't go on an aeroplane in the foreseeable future. Looked around for some holiday rentals in Northumberland last week. £500/week for a studio type apartment wasn't uncommon. We're going to wait in the hope/expectation prices will drop once initial demand is satisfied.
Thinking of a road trip through France next year. We have friends scattered around and might do Home >Pyrenees >Provence >Nice >Home.........we shall see.

Strong winds and rain is forecast which is not wrong. Temperature has now risen to 9C.
Out at 0730 for shopping and a small queue but not raining. Unpredictable coop had a small amount of bread flour but no longlife milk. Topped up the diesel and had a look at the showers sweeping down Glen Forsa and over the Sound. On the way back the coop queue had risen to at least a dozen just after 0800 and slight rain starting. No shelter and that bit of Main Street is exposed to the south and slightly west.
Incomers cause annoyance by referring to the High St when it is in fact the Main Street and there is no High St. They also persist in calling the place a village when in the past before being reorganised there was a Town Council with a Provost and a Town Clerk as well as a magistrates Court. Ignorance will win in the end as old codgers like me die off.

We have a Motorhome, so, seldom in the market for a holiday rental.
But, £500/week, in peak season does not seem unusual to me.
Slightly different market, but, when we worked (sorry for language) we used to go quite regularly to Lake District for weekend in a B&B, it was typically £70/night EACH, and that was over 12 years ago! Holidays in Uk are not cheap.

Talking of flying........
When we came back from Majorca last year there was an announcement that we were not to eat nuts of any kind as there were people with allergy problems.
I (politely) asked how us eating nuts could affect anyone else.
She explained that it gets drawn into the aircon system and re- circulated.
So.......
When this virus malarkey kicked off we both said NO CHANCE......not until it well and truly gone. Imagine, if just one passenger had it without knowing
