Time off!

 We looked at next week's forecast, put the bikes in the back of the car and found some different roads for a change..not far, but doing all from home would have added another thirty to the twenty we did, down the Girvan Valley on the middle road and back again on the lower road. The high road is the main A 77 which is to be avoided!

It was good to get out for a change, the first time on the bikes for a week, and the first time Pirate has been off the property..we have a family possibly with covid six doors down from here and a hundred suspected cases in the village...out its population of a little under 4,000. 

A lovely ride partly through beech woods then past fields on return, mostly on quiet roads. Football and snooker on TV has something good to say for itself!!

Pirate was busy this morning, painting next door's fence which will be behind the greenhouse...better than getting paint on the glass!! I am carrying on listing things on "fleabay" hoping for a few more sales. Just getting queries at the moment from people too lazy to read the descriptions!!

Now at last we are watching the highlights of the Giro d'Italia...running 45 minutes late after the snooker final match..

oh gosh stay safe you 2, I hope the family is in isolation at home.

It probably takes an abundance of caution to live so close to actual and suspected cases. Take care.

Interesting blog. Very interesting title. I love people who are what I would call a bit "different", and you do seem that (hoping you like that rather than dislike). I suppose everybody is different; but some are more different than others.

A good comment Andrew! You grow up trying to conform, to avoid bullying..but gradually you realise that you are yourself, there is nothing wrong, and you harm no-one.

Enjoy you weather and a good vacation! Looking forward to hearing about you adventures! I’m on trainers, people are driving crazier during this Covid mess and feels like I’m a target so back on the rollers and watching the Great British Baking Show while peddling like a mad woman ☺️

Way too many cases for a community of that size. Good to get out but be careful.
