Good Morning All.
Trying not to look at any c news today. Trying just to remember how good Strictly was last night. As the Duchess of Rothesay said, it has lifted the hearts of the nation this winter, well it has for those of us who were watching it. Probably the most tearful Christmas show I will ever watch.

I've a bit of a dilemma. I'd normally go out for a ride mid morning, but I live less than a mile from the Poshshire border, and on the other side of that it's Tier 4. A good deal of my rides would take me over the border, but it is now unlawful to enter the Tier 4 area except for one of the approved reasons.

in reality it makes little odds, unless I wipe out i'm not going to come into contact with anyone else. On the other hand, if I don't obey the regs then I can't really expect anyone else to do so. Sooooooo, I think i'll stay in Poshshire and ride out in a loop towards Towcester.

Yep, dilemmas for many of us in very different ways at the moment. People like us who obey the rules, take our responsibilities seriously suddenly find ourselves in a position of wondering whether or not to break a rule which has no consequence.

I've both accidentally and knowingly crossed the border between Merseyside, Tier 2, and Lancashire, Tier 3 several times. On a bike it makes no difference.

The DFL's don't realise that running away to a low Covid area, but then carrying on behaving as they did before, will not help them. I thank f*** I live in the country, but not in any kind of touristy area - the werewolves and ruddy faced farmers with pitchforks keep the cockerneys away.

Morning. I was in another can't be arsed to get up mood, so I didn't. Raining here of course, and the covid19 ap tells me we are in tier 4 and can't go out.

Can't wait for tier 5 when we won't even be allowed to open the curtains.

Stay safe folks

A rare family Sunday morning

 

[PaulSB]

Hello people. 'Tis dry, sunny and windy. Ride planned for 10.00, just a 30/40 miler to keep the legs turning. No more distances for me till mid January. I've been grinding out miles for the last month - both mind and body need a rest from cycling!

Slept till 4.00, brew till 5.00 and slept till 8.00. This is good.

Speaking of dilemmas. Thanks for this Bojo!! No 2 son has supported living with three other young men. All had planned 2-3 days with parents over Christmas. Last night Mrs P was saying No 2 could still stay over Christmas night as a day is 24 hours. I didn't agree and we changed the discussion - we're all married, you get the point!! 😂

So the rules are clear, midnight to midnight. No discussion yet today but it's clear to me I won't be drinking Christmas Day if No 2 son has to return to his house. I do hope Mrs P changes her view as I'm not happy about breaking the rules even though Mrs P is quite right it won't make a blind bit of difference.

Rather hoping the care provider comes out with a statement on this.

Tier 6 will be when we're all told to lock ourselves in a cupboard and swallow the key....
