Tried to do some vocals for WALHFMF but its very hard.

On Tuesday morning M went for a run. I cycled down to Green Park then across to the Shinfield Rd and back that way. If would normally quite busy and unpleasant but was fine on a quiet sunny morning, about 10 miles. Danny video Whatsapped me in the evening so chatted with him and Sheila for about half an hour. They were in their conservatory with a fine view over the sea. A lot lighter up there as we also notice when we visit James and Amy. 

Floated the idea of doing a recording Play With Fire as I found an old version of me and Kelvin doing it.

I've got the VHS video copy working but the first impression is that the tapes are a bit warn. We'll see. Went for an afternoon ride to rediscover my off road round Reading route between Sindlesham and Shinfield. Very nice once I'd got there. Went past the Mad Stad and took this shot. Like a Tuesday evening game against Barnsley.

M went for a run and I mixed some bread dough and went for a ride down the Kennet as far as the Cunning Man. Baked the bread and had some fresh for lunch with a bit of cheese. Had a creative spell in the afternoon and took photos of plants in the garden. 

Did the weekly NHS clap. Very well attended this week. Had virtual pints with Penno, Kevin and Adrienne and Penno's friend Debbie who is a mobile hairdresser and so a bit screwed at the 

moment.

Friday started well. Had a chip butty for breakfast and spotted the first swifts of the year.

Went for a walk along the Kennet to Southcote Lock. A lot of traffic on the A33 Relief Rd. Got a nice photo of a heron.

M did lasagne with homemade pasta.Very nice, sat out in the garden after. This weeks post is a lot more detailed as I'm filling it in every day.

On Saturday had homemade ravioli. It was Steve's birthday across the road so there were socially distanced drinks in the street. There was a plan to take instruments to accompany the singing of happy birthday so I took my ukulele but I was too late. A chap called Mark brought his guitar and sang some songs. He was very good. Me and Tony joined in a bit. 

On Sunday we went into town to take photos of bits of Reading for the basis of a quiz. The emphasis changed to mainly pubs and clocks with the odd other thing thrown in. We sent it to Tom, Sally, James and Amy so we could go through it later in the planned Zoom catch up. James and Amy did remarkably well especially seeing as Amy doesn't really know Reading. We also did my album based music quiz which Tom and Sally won. Here's a fairly obvious pub clue.
