It's funny that Sainsburys just down the road doesn't have staffing problems and the check out staff must see more people in a shift than a receptionist.

Dirk, I’m getting a bit concerned mate. You keep turning up at these really nice sites and you’re often the only one there. I’m beginning to see a pattern. Could you check at the site entrance and see if the grass is churned up, as if several vans have recently left the site in a bit of a rush?
There are young ladies from Canford School rowing club who frequent the river, plus there are probably giant Pike in there who might go for anything pale dangling in the water…

WARNING ⚠️ Earlier I strongly recommended Ryde Cafe in Liverpool. This is hereby withdrawn! What was once an eclectic, bohemian cafe with lots of little alcoves and rooms, a courtyard and an excellent and varied menu has moved about two hundred yards. It's now in a big shed and offers various baps and toasties, NO cake 
but very good coffee. Beans on toast was good but a far cry from what I was salivating over for 40+ miles.

I had a bonus this week, I won on the Independent Age Friday Flutter lottery, a £25 marks and sparks gift card, my sock drawer is now full of posh marks and sparks socks, there wasn't anything else I wanted and I needed socks so socks it is. We also had fun with the buses today, they're supposed to be every 10 or 15 minutes but going out we waited over half an hour for a bus, some people at other stops had been waiting almost an hour for one, coming back we couldn't get on the first bus that came as he'd already had a wheelchair on and had to wait for the next one, which fortunately wasn't long.

I have to say the temperature is about perfect for me today . Low 20 to mid 20s with a nice breeze .
Spent the day with bikes . Went for a ride this morning , then spent the afternoon messing with my daughters ride to work bike ( ie it’s a old nail of a machine that no one would want to steal 😂) . At least it now has brakes that work again and it six gears work , most of the time 😀.
Not that she is going use it this week , she tested positive for covid on Saturday and it still testing positive now even though she has no symptoms. With her old job she wouldn’t have minded being at home but she really likes her new job and want to go to work . Tbh I don’t think I EVER wanted to go to work ever 😂😂😂😂😀
Daughters sit up and beg work bike .

My Brother-in-law had some "bus fun" recently.
I should explain BiL has a bit of a fetish about time, where I might describe something as a 20 minute walk, BiL would say 18.5 minutes (or whatever).
Anyway, BiL presented himself at bus stop, to catch bus, precisely one minute early... only to see the bus disappearing down the road. Now, the bus follows a torturous route, and BiL knew if he jogged via a short cut, he could catch bus at a different stop... so, off he went... arriving at said stop, ahead of the bus.
When he got on the bus, he made the mistake of remarking to the driver that he (the driver) had been a bit early at the previous stop. The driver took umbrage at this, and, refused to drive off, until BiL left the bus! Obviously, caught driver on a bad day.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
The weather is just about perfect here. 20 deg and sunny with a slight breeze.
Ouch!
Went out of the caravan to bring the doggie in.
On going back in I stood on the top step but must have not been central on the steps. The steps rolled over to the right and I fell backwards, landing like a bag of spuds in the awning. I had to lie still for a couple of minutes before I could attempt to sit up. MrsD was fussing around like a mother hen.
I'm now resting up with a very sore hip and ribs on my left side. I also smacked my head on the (very) hard dry ground.
Last time I hit the deck that hard was when I chucked a 250 Cotton up the road at Ty Croes circuit in Wales - but I was 22 years younger then and bounced better.
MrsD has applied the Voltorol, but I think I'm in for a very uncomfortable night tonight.
