M got here NHS jab letter and has booked in at Basingstoke on Friday at 5 15. Did a circuitous walk to pick up the car through Lousehill Copse. It was almost like normal rush hour in town. Not sure if its a covid initiative but they found a couple of issues with car and sent me a text with a link to a film of the car up on the jack. Not sure how long the link will last. Went on a ride with Kelvin on Tuesday. We went out east, a combination of my work rides to and from Bracknell and Slough. 51 miles in all. Saw the first lambs of the spring.
Spotted lots of painted street furniture in town.M was a victim of an attempted scam. Got a text supposedly from HSBC asking if we had authorised a payment of £240 if not log in and let them know. The URL wasn't HSBC but looked like it, they obviously just wanted you to type in your username and password. Watched URZs beat Blackburn 1 0 in the evening. On Wednesday heard that Dave Kirkham had got his NHS jab letter and had managed to book at the Mad Stad. M didn't get the option. Bit of a dull day but went for a local walk to photo more street are. A young lad about 7 or 8 was a approaching me down a norrow pavement. As we got closer he stepped into a gateway so we wouldn't be too close. I didn't expect it but it just goes to show how we have adapted to the situation. Snapped these.
Had a goolie zoom in the evening. Our new rug for the front room arrived at 7am on Thursday morning. I really like it but it makes the curtains and settees look out of place now. They are to be replaced though. Finished off my Counting Salmon. It was bit rushed in the end but its been hanging around for ages and I wanted to finish it off. Ralph mentioned there was more street furniture painting in the the town centre on olympic themes so I went for a look. He thought it was a community project. I could only find this and it looked a bit old. Think the new ones are different. It has been confirmed the mural on the prison wall is a Banksy Had an ale and ale zoom in the evening. Penno had made a really good animation as part of her course. I'd include a link but you need an app. She's going to he a double grandma. Both hers and Adrienne's bithdays next week. It was nice and sunny on Friday morning so M went for a run and I went for a ride. It had clouded over by the time we set off though. I did the loop out fown the A4 Sulham, Pangbourne and back via Mapledurham. Another Banksy?
M had jab, a relatively painless experience all round. It was AstraZeneca. She had a slightly saw arm on Saturday morning and felt a bit groggy later. Watched Reading beat the owls 3 0 on iFollow. M made excellent, hummus, salad, lamb tagine and flat breads. A good start to the day on Sunday, M's reaction to the jab cleared up. Pottered in the garden, removed the slats from the metal ended bench with a view to replacing them. Had a zoom with James and Amy in the afternoon and played Sherlock. We drew. Did salad nicoise for tea with leftover flatbreads.
