I've been having an easy day, the ironing got done this morning, I watched the rugby this afternoon, Quins v Cardiff and I've just washed the car and checked the fluids, my little Suzuki is now the white colour its supposed to be not a dirty shade of brown, it'll stay that way till next time I use it.

I have been feeling a bit rough for a few days since coming back from the Midlands. I worried that the highly overcrowded train journey down to Coventry on the 10th might have resulted in a dose of Covid-19 so I wanted to do the test. Boots was out of kits on Wednesday but they had restocked yesterday. The result was negative!
I'll do a few more tests to keep an eye on the bug, but hopefully it won't develop into anything sinister. It is like having half a cold. I have a sore throat, muscle aches, a headache and fatigue, but no snotty nose or cough. No problem smelling and tasting my food...
This bug probably did come from that train journey because I haven't spent time with anybody that I know to have been ill.
I have flu and booster jabs booked for Monday morning. I will take another lateral flow test so I would be able to cancel my appointments if I become positive, and I will take another just before I leave the house on Monday to make sure all is well.
I am just taking it easy now and (hopefully!) recovering on the run up to Christmas. I'm getting a few odd jobs done here and there and looking forward to the NY and my pension.
It is probably a good idea to avoid cycling for a few days until I feel better. It's a pity to waste the mild weather though, so I will try to get a few strolls in.

Salut. When I went for a ride this morning at about 11.30, it was 6.5 degrees and I saw about 10 people going for a swim in the sea. 
I stopped to watch them go in and when I got back to the same point 10 minutes later, they were still swimming.

I have a white car. The only thing worse imo is black. I bought it as it was the only one I could find with the spec I wanted.I've been having an easy day, the ironing got done this morning, I watched the rugby this afternoon, Quins v Cardiff and I've just washed the car and checked the fluids, my little Suzuki is now the white colour its supposed to be not a dirty shade of brown, it'll stay that way till next time I use it.

Afternoon walk done. Going to be a frosty night I think. Was getting a tad chilly out already.

My pal is here and we have decided to have junk food food tonight. That isn't the same as plain old junk food! It will be junk food (big pizza and fries) but with some healthy food as well (a humungous great ColinJ salad).
No doubt we will also end up having some goodies while we watch TV later. These days I pretty much avoid biscuits, cake etc. when I am by myself but usually share some with guests.
I struggled to unlock the front door when she arrived and then relock it once she had come into the house. The lock was feeling pretty sticky so I sprayed some WD40 along the sides of the, er... [looks up name] deadbolt and that seems to have loosened it up.
