Muttley walked.

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.

Can you not just ride around your country estate?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I see there were warnings to people on trains leaving London saying that social distancing wasn't possible due to the numbers on the train so if you didn't like it then get off. I wonder how many infected people were on the trains taking Covid19 to every area in the UK. Dummies.

Barnet,
Good morning all from tier 4.
What plans we had have been blown out of the water.
It is a nice bright morning here, so out for a long walk with the dog soon.
Out on the bike after that, and then I will watch the Spurs game against Leicester before cooking the late dinner.
My mate up the road has ordered crates of ale from the Oakham brewery, 3 of the cases will be mine. They should arrive on Tuesday. :cheers::cheers::cheers:
Stay safe everyone :cuppa:

That's how I interpret it for England. My wife doesn't. I wish our government would be clear, I also wish, and have for a VERY long time, Nicola Sturgeon was UK PM!
Don’t want to get into a COVID wrangle, but....

there are rules (enforceable) and recommendations

the Uk has been recommending no overnight stays for several weeks, including christmas

end of my involvement ;)

I know it is easy to blame Boris, but I blame the people taking no notice of Boris, am I wrong in doing so?
No, you're not and I don't really blame Boris. I don't support the Tories, I'm not a Boris fan but I have a lot of sympathy for all those trying to tackle something non one could have foreseen. I know there have been numerous cockups but.....

I agree regarding those who think they can ignore the rules, it's incredibly selfish. Our next door neighbour is breaking all the rules, when the chance arises she'll find out what I think.

This is why I see a big dilemma approaching re No 2 son. Hopefully the carer provider will make a very clear statement and solve the issue for us.

Reports this morning say it's already widespread in Wales. It'll hit Lancashire soon. Time to redouble our efforts.

That's me done with the virus. In more interesting news I'm going to make porridge and wash last night's glasses!
Stick the kettle on then please......another cuppa is required........and since I have a cat on my knee, maybe you could bring it through too? :laugh:
