Covid Blog 33

3 May

I was awake at about 6.30 am to get ready for the normal Sunday ride this morning ...

The weather had improved somewhat with no rain and yes a little bit of sunshine..

It was however quite cool so I had to rug up a bit... I had some new long fingered gloves courtesy of a birthday gift from Catherine, Nick and the kids... all good thankfully

After breakfast it was off on the ride down Warrigal road to Mordy and then back along Beach road to Charman road.

The ride was about 30 kms before coffee at Sandringham at a coffee shop that serves great coffee. We have called this Frank’s coffee shop after one of the guys in our riding group who discovered the shop.

Another great coffee was followed by a fast ride home and after 52 kms I was home at about 11.00 am!

So after cleaning the bike it was time to clean up the front and back yards by mowing lawns, raking up leaves and generally making the place look great. In some ways I enjoy the tidy up process as it provides an enjoyable opportunity to see real progress in a short time frame.

After this it was on the cleaning the pool now that we have given the pool maintenance company the flick

After all of this it was pleasing to finish shortly before the darkness set in for the evening

The day was quite productive and it was good not to do any painting for a change!

The latest on the virus is that we are still in the lockdown and there’s pressure by some to try and open schools for students. Some states in Australia are opening schools but in Victoria we are staying closed for the time being as the risk of virus spread is too great. To emphasise this we had a case today of a teacher in a school in the northern suburbs who contracted the virus....

Now for a few photos...

My new gloves ... great to have warm fingers!
