@HarryBeau Popeye was holding my right arm with both his front paws while I was painting this...Beautiful gennepher did you really paint this or was it Popeye
Morning...in a hurry off to London today so have to try to mitigate my neglect of personal attention I've fallen into over the last four months...not much time to linger here...I have my supply of face masks tucked in my bag...three bottles of hand sanitiser & several pairs of gloves that should be enough...sunny so far...woke to a 6.7...keep safe everyone.
Thank you. Now you take care mixing with them city folk.@Muddy Cyclist hug for nightmares but admiration for the art they produced. More tea, more steps and more wondering for me and perhaps a trip to Ely for mucho flaxseed.
They've become all modern and won't accept Eels in payment these days as they claim it is a health hazard. I do mourn the old ways. Health and safety gone mad. Hereward the Wake wouldn't have tolerated it, he'd soon have been on twitter blasting cancel culture.Thank you. Now you take care mixing with them city folk.
Hope the MOT goes well.Off to take bike in for MOT,
I agree with you @HarryBeau - it wasn't @gennepher it was Popeye.Beautiful gennepher did you really paint this or was it Popeye

I agree that it often is hard to work out which way round it is. A bit like the chicken and the egg - which came first.14.07.2020

Bonjour mon ami's
Bonne Bastille, as my neighbours are saying.
a busy few days.
A delightful day yesterday, took Pablo to kensington gardens , parked up and hired a Santander cycle for a journey across and around the park.
Bikes you hire for 30 mins at a time, re-dock then rehire another for 30 mins and all for £2 the entire day..bargain.
So i'm queuing to rehire, so stuck at a busy dock, marble arch.
keep my SD, go to bike ..all good.
when two lovely Scandi girls, pause near me, check mobiles maps, then lean over and ask me for directions..
i am stuck between cycles entering codes to unlock, with railings to back of me.....
Note to self always scan & check your 6 ..ALWAYS
Can't remember being so flustered around pretty girls talking to me, since primary school.
Tried to be cool, without letting the panic show
But that pleasant person inside is going to be a danger to many.
trying to help, but that meant being a lot closer then i would have intended
we were outdoors, but it was still closer then was good for either of us,
sent them in right direction, so far no symptoms..<Prays>
i then trundled off, a pleasant hour of a two, in the sunshine.....a short snack, then back home.
Today a trip to the big supermarket.
Must say personally much happier shopping, knowing that masks will be needed, soon.
No queue and got most of what i wanted, so happy days
Our steph flew out to turkey the other day.
28 makes her own choices.
As worried as we were, we both agreed, the risks at the moment seem slimmer.
would we have gone IF we had tickets, we asked ourselves, YES..but with some worries,
but at 28...like a shot.
So far all good , she is well, journey uneventful, all masked majority of time in flight.
And the resort is not one of the better know, busier ones, ( turunc )
mask wearing the law, every where except restaurants/bars and once sat on a sunbed. and rigorously enforced.
over 65 not allowed our after 8pm i think.
nor are under 20's.
So, she's as safe as can be given the circumstances.
when dropping here off i have NEVER seen Stanstead so dead..it was like a ghost town.
Wifes best friend has been fretting, high end travel agent,
all were getting a zoom meeting.... up until today all who had meeting been made redundant.
She was so very worried.
She's had meeting, simply extended her furlough until october..
AND her daughter, got a negative for covid on her test, thank god...RESULT
good luck all.
hugs to those needing a little support,
high fives for those passing MoT's..
FBG 6.2
temp 36.4.
Au revoir
I don't like it,
but for the coffee lovers
an article about nespresso machines caught my eye.
not sure it all stands upas facts, but an interesting read
https://www.theguardian.com/food/20...branding-clooney-nestle-recycling-environment
This awful coffe is manufactured less than two miles from my son's cottage at Marston on Dove, factory is at Tutbury, the smell of burnt coffee beans when the wind is in the direction of son's cottage is horrendous and I'm a coffee lover but not this and all those non recycled pods, terrible.an article about nespresso machines caught my eye.
