Coronavirus - Sunday 14th March 2021

Schools in England go back today (Monday 8th). Popped to BnQ for some wood. Long queue outside, not come across that for a while. Fixed the other raised bed. M used the power hose thing to clean the patio etc. I'd had to order some bootlaces online and they turned up in a comparatively very large box. Realised when I went to get the cottage pie out of the oven that it wasn't working. Fortunately the top one is. Went for a ride with Kelvin on Tuesday, ended up in Frieth. Passed through Hambleden on the way. They were filming something for Disney in a house with artificial snow in the garden. How come they can still film in the pandemic? Saw at least 50 red kites in a field being ploughed. Took a photo but you cant really see. Lovely sunny spring day. Saw the first calves of spring.Spotted some more street art in Newtown on the way out. Also noticed kids playing out in schools.
 
A chap came to look ate the oven on Wednesday. They had sent an email with very detailed covid safety instructions. As it was when the guy turned up he asked if he could take off his visor as it would be uncomfortable working in the oven also paid by card even though over the limit. On the Berks Birds website it mentioned sightings of peregrines on the gasometer so went for a look late afternoon. No sign so wandered round Newtown looking for more street art. Found 4 or 5 but they're not as good as the others. Some look quite old and some very recent. Took a picture of the last gasometer anyway as its due for demolition.Had a goolie Zoom in the evening. John is planning to go out for a McDonalds tomorrow as its William's birthday. On Thursday went for a ride down to Fobney meadows. Just the usual suspects birdwise but you can now get though to Coley. Headed off down the Kennet and a lot of work is being at the Jolly Anglers for the reopening of pubs.Spotted this in the housing estate at the other side of the river.When I got back spotted a stock dove in the garden,  never knowingly seen one before. Had a zoom down the Hop Leaf in the evening. Went for a ride to Bracknell on Friday. Out by my old work route a back by a route we often took for our evening rides. Russ has told me Northgate have moved to smaller offices as post pandemic there will be a lot more home working so went to check them out. Watched URZ play Forest on Saturday. A good game we went 1 0 put pulled it back to 1 1. Normally when we go down we capitulate so it was good to see. 3 strickers on at one point. Made pizzas in the evening. I dont think the replacement element is up to scratch. James phoned M on Sunday morning as its Mother's Day. I've been doing these posts for almost a year now as the first one I did mentioned Mother's day. Its also just over a year since we went to see Tommy Tiernan at the town hall (13th March). The last time we went out to anything. Who would have thought it.
