have major sympathies for those who do find the masks more difficult.
for those perhaps we should have a card, stating why, "
In the local Co-op the other day the only person not wearing a mask was a guy maybe in his late twenties early thirties I couldn't help myself as got rather close to me I just had to ask why aren't you wearing a mask his reply I got breathing problems (Stock answer ) I said so have I but I'm still wearing one though. His answer to that is not printable here.
By the way there is a lanyard and a card available but you do not have to give any proof of an inability to wear a mask and you can download a printable version of the card and just print it out if you wish.
It has been shown that wearing a mask does not effect blood oxygen levels
Any way time for me to dismount from my soap box and bin it.
When I was young we did not have a car as my father was a lorry driver at the time and he simply refused to spend his time off driving as he had been driving all week so we walked or bused everywhere.
Though my mum and dad did often have stand up fights toe to toe with punches being thrown must add dad did not always win as mum was five foot ten and knew how to make a punch count it was never about modes of transport though.
I have some serious difficulties breathing also so I do find it uncomfortable but for the relatively short time I may spend in a shop I find it doable and can put up with it in enclosed spaces out in the open I feel it's not so critical and may dispense with the mask as long as I can see people approaching and if unable to avoid close encounters of the dangerous kind will put the mask back in place, I do feel if the powers that be pass such legislation then they should provide for the provision of some kind of certificate or written proof of the reason for exemption.Hi John
I did find it difficult to breathe walking uphill in small local town this week, but I had a diy mask with valve plus ordinary face covering mask over top...I do have a the bottom of my right lung collapsed though.

This is brilliant @Alien AspieThis morning's quick pic is Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness. This is from a visit there on my 50th birthday.
Again I used the leaf brush, in truth the trees were bare as it was early spring but they looked rubbish when I painted them so I put some clothes on 'em
Never got to see Nessie

Thanks for posting that. I would never have noticed that or understood what you all mean by depth. You guys may yet make me a more discerning viewer of art. (Don't hold your breath though)This is brilliant @Alien Aspie
Amazing. The light on the grass in between the trees, giving it depth.

Put some balls and grass in the paintings so people can hit, kick, bounce or somehow move them about and I'm wide awake. Please, no flowers@ianpspurs
We won't give up!
Took a long bus ride in India.
The driver drove down the middle of the road and never gave way.
She reckoned it was hairy!

It wasn't flippant. But you did get a response from me....
I have never been to to India or abroad even, but I have an Indian friend who has been in several serious accidents on his motor bike. It does seem par for the course there...
Oh wow, I am the eBay virus
Glad you got a bargain!
I got loads postcard bargains this week!!!!
Enjoy your surrogate dog.
Poppy is stunning in the potting shed. I am in the garden. It is a bit chilly here...brrrr.
Bikes have changed a lot in the last sixty years since I had several.
Bikes have changed a lot in the last sixty years since I had several.
Stay safe in your travels.

Yes agree.
have had a variety, too
one enduro type, the others mostly road.
can't say the cruser types appeal
many changes, as you say.
last one was a monster..so much GO.....
caught me out almost once or twice, until i remembered when you twist that throttle, better hang on TIGHT..
but while i love the rush, i really just don't use the bike to even 50% of it's abilities, nor ride enough to justify it.
the idea of the scooter was to allow our Steph, to learn with such a bike, go on take test and THEN have some knowledge,
for that time she takes a scooter out on holiday with friends etc..it'll happen, i'm sure.
i want her to have some core skills at least.
And madam doesn't really like the bike, but is happy on the scooters...so there is that too
Thank you, i do try.
it's the others that are the issue
as you well know.
Hi Alf,
My Mountain Bike Equivalent. THis model sits in this garden by a stream, the owner dressesit different for every season, every big event, I pass it on the way to Cannock Chase and today took this photo of it in summer dress. Christmas week it's always Santa and New Year's Day Black Tie and evening dress and drunk.View attachment 43600 Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who wonder where the weather went, not the rain or wind we know that they are holidaying here.
A 6.2 this morning on the meter of misbehaving and naughtiness.
Attached is a picture I tried to upload yesterday from my ride on Thursday, but failed.
I have ridden past this potman a few times, but this time I stopped and took a picture, just as his creator arrived a lovely lady arrived who told me just how popular he is, lots of people stop for photographs, walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists and motorists. One of the joys of two wheels is you see the unusual and invariably it will brighten day.
So a big thank you to the lovely lady who created the pot man and I wish her well with her plans for next year.
For the interested the bike is a 700 cc Yamaha Tracer.
Well folks we have our grandchildren for the day, chaos, mayhem and lots of telling off's for me and me's.
Have a great day fellow posters and painters and 2 wheelers.
Hi John, I got one of those ford anglia's with a funny back window in 63. The one the police had in Heartbeat.My first bike was a Tiger Cub a mere 250 cc but I was happy with it a bit jealous of my mates Ariel Square Four though but I came off the pillion of that one when he pulled away quite sharpish one day full throttle and I went straight off the back.
A friend of mine in the Air Force had a velo thruxton 500 cc we used to race up and down the A1 on that it was a monster, in the end he wrote it off under an ice cream van that pulled out from a side road right in front of him
After I'd lost quite a few mates in various biking accidents eventually I decided to get my self a nice safe car, so I bought one of these. The photo is exactly as mine looked but it is not the one I had.
