Covid Blog 45

Today was a cooler day to start off with. As I said in my blog yesterday I was meeting a friend, Gary at about 9.30 am at the end of the street at Rye for a ride. We agreed we should do the ride called “ the pensioners loop” which is about 50 kms along Point Nepean road to Moats Corner then back through Martha Cove to Point Nepean rd to Blairgowrie. It was slower ride out as the light wind was against us but... on the way home it was quite delightful sitting on speeds of about 30 kph

Gary left at the Blairgowrie shops where I had a coffee.... to be frank I was craving for it!!

Arriving back at the house after the ride I loaded some firewood in the back of the Ute and did a “ pack up and tidy up” before heading back to Melbourne 

The traffic on the road home was decidedly busier after the relaxation of the lockdown arrangements.... strange as there is still very much a stay at home policy issued by the government!

I think most people think that the low case count on new virus outbreaks is message to begin life as normal.... I hope this assumption is not misplaced.

Arriving home I unpacked the car and with some help from the grandchildren unloaded the firewood to the wood stack.

With brooms out for the tidy up it was easy to enlist their help in raking up leaves in the driveway. This was a good excuse to have a bit of fun playing....

After a brief bike ride around the block the grandchildren were now ready for dinner and a bath ahead of being picked up by Chris 

The day was fulfilling in many respects but the weather is now turning more wintery and the air is much heavier at the end of the day

Now for a couple of photos

Raking up the leaves.... I think!
