Covid Blog 6

6 Apr

Today being Sunday is the normal day for the Wheeliebinners ride from Red Rooster on the corner of Union and Canterbury roads at 7.30 am.... and today is the end of daylight saving so we get an extra hour of sleep!

But no.... with the new order we cannot ride as a group anymore and unfortunately we cannot really wear out new team riding tops and socks.

So with that in mind I decided to ride across town to my daughters home in Yarraville to have a coffee/tea. Riding near the great sports stadiums in Melbourne was very eerie as in normal times they would be buzzing with football fans waiting to see their teams perform on the sporting fields.

To add to the eerie feel the weather was gloomy with heavy cloud cover and cool temps at about 10 degrees

I arrived at Jodie and Sams house and it was good to see them both and have a coffee and be very careful regarding social distancing

After the visit it was off home via the Capital City bike path. Getting closer to home the weather turned from a drizzle to rain and by the time I arrived home I was wet through but felt good after doing a little over 60 kms

The afternoon was spent visiting IKEA to look at kitchen options for the Rye investment property which needs a makeover ahead of being on the rental market.

I always get lost on visiting IKEA and today was no exception.... finding the kitchen department was a real issue but worth the visit as the options seem good

Arriving home we set the fire and settled in on the couch for a while until dinner... I must admit I had a bit of shut eye until Chris, Neat and grandies arrived home for dinner

The day was a bit longer with the extra hour with the change of clocks and the night closed in earlier..... very strange really

It was a good day for the Covid19 stats in Australia with the rate of increase in cases falling again for the 3rd day... questions being raised about whether we are seeing the Covid curve turning!!!

Let’s see!!!!

Now for a few photos

Entry at the MCG deserted ... normally buzzing with football fans!!!
