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..

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 up
as facts, but an interesting read
