Thank you

And totally!! Everything did deteriorate in the first lockdown due to lack of treatment (physio). But today the walk I did with my friends was about a third of the distance I generally did before. Difference being that I could use both poles when walking AND I currently have no pain from it (even before confinement, touring would always hurt that day and the next :( )

I'm very happy!! :banana-dance:

Are you allowed to say nothing?

Although I did go out to pick up a second hand dehumidifier for my shed. The one I’ve had for years finally packed up so I put out a request on the local Facebook.

Next day I had one. A bit bigger than I needed but beggars can’t be choosers.

Isn’t the internet great :mrgreen:

Ice on the seat of my bike this morning. All the locks frozen solid too. Priority email from my line manger saying looking at the weather, feel free to work from home if you'd prefer? No brainer...

I woke up early to the sound of snow clearers :mrgreen: Got up and went to close the window - snow on the sofa! :lol:

We had a LOT of snow last night (possibly upwards of 25cm - one of the resorts in the 3 valleys posted that they've had 25cm) :banana-dance:

I won't ski on that amount of soft powder (I've not learnt to ski in powder yet :( ) but some friends are going to go from the highest point accessible by car/bus down to the lowest easy pick up. I'm gonna drive the car so they can all go and get back (without freezing for an hour or more waiting for a bus!! LOL)


The blanket on the sofa by the window ! :lol:

I gave up and let the wife continue, and I watched the UFC main card instead.

You're a lot further south than me, living in a constantly warm temperature and only drinking Europiss lager. One of us is a SSSD but it ain't me! :lol:

Good, in fact, I'm on my 2nd one. Just wanted to cut down on coffee, making too many cups per day working from home.

Yorkshire Tea by the way ;)
