I sort of understand that (not that I think it's anything like back to normal), I just think it would be a bit better if they skipped the "outside" bit and just stayed shut for another month, until they could open inside as well - I heard something like 2/3 of pubs aren't bothering to open next week, as for many (especially those without much of an outside space) they'd lose money - especially if the weather is like it is at the minute, I'm not sure that you'll have people queueing up to sit in 4C windy cold weather.

Sorry I didn't mean normal. Its just a bit closer to normality I should have said. Its shit. I've had a year of it in my life 24/7 even more so with work. I just want some sort of life back. Being pregnant I can't have the jabs, but yet I'm expected to nurse patients who potentially have covid in close proximity with minimal ppe. I'm scared to death that I could contract it or worse still the baby gets it. Basically I want it all to just fuck off now so I can live in peace not worrying about my children and go to the pub if I want to for a pint or 2 to socialise with people I probably don't like that much haha.

It's probably got a stupid cycleway designation number. I thought the Loopline proper started at Clegg's Lane toward Blackleach and beyond... The ride to Bury from the Embankment is a good 'un. Highland Toffee cows along the way, ice cream and maybe a swift one in The Robert Peel... Can't wait. Cycled from Farnworth to Monton today on the loop line. On the return, did the branch line to Ellenbrook. Another new path from there to Tynesbank and back on the main line at St. George’s. Cycleway no. 55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycleway no. 55 Good innit, I often ride to Manchester and back and The Loopline lops off a big chunk of unpleasant riding, Blackleach is a nice place for a quick stop and rest/beverage if it's fine. I'll have a gander at those offshoots. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Chaos up here tonight. Snowing heavily most of the evening, must be at least 6 inches deep now. Cars struggling on the hill, trees coming down and it's mid-April FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boby Brno Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Finished work early today for no other reason other than I can. Prepared the food last night for our planned BBQ. Chicken Souvlaki. Just me and my wife of 37 years. An hour in the garden discussing some important issues, then food and wine. Not disagreeing with anyone tonight. Life is good without politics. Especially if the suns shining. Anyway. Jacob. Happy St. George’s Day one and all. 🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 23, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2021 Popped up to the chippy earlier to get some pips to have with our tea. On the way back, someone was cooking curry, someone else having a bbq. Neighbours chatting on door steps and smiles abound. Was a great little walk, very pleasant.

I'm going to try that when I am back home after this Shift block. Not sat in our Garden since last year because it's been too cold or covered in Snow so far this when I have been off work.
