Woke up to snow on Monday morning.
Today is the start of more lockdown easing. Pub gardens are open as are all shops and things like gyms and swimming pools. We did a Mansfield Rd walk. Got a bus to Caversham then a circuitous route to the Lodden Brewery where we stopped for a couple of pints.
Each household had to sign in using the app. The snow had more or less gone by then. An interesting mainly urban walk back though Caversham Park Village and other bits of Caversham I've not been to before. Tried to get into the garden at the Nags Head but there was a queue that didn't seem to be moving so gave up. Steve Snook was in there. Walked about 10 miles in all. Slight contrast in weather on Tuesday morning.
Went for s swim and it was quite cold. I assume they didn't keep the pool fully heated during lockdown and its taken a while to warm up. On Wednesday went for a ride to the Black Horse for few lunchtime pints.
Had a goolie zoom in the evening. Greg's James and partner have bought a flat near Putney. John's James has passed the first part part of his motorbike test. The plan is that he, William and John will be able to go to the TT as soon as its safe to do so. Had a bit of a lie in on Thursday. Worked on animation for most of the day. Popped into town to pick up a game from Eclectic Games that Sally had ordered for Christmas.
M cooked a fine chilli. Met Bobby, Fiona and Kelvin in the Castle Tap garden. Stayed until we just got too cold, 4 pints worth. Worked on the animation again on Friday with a swim in the afternoon. It was a bit warmer this time. A glorious day on Saturday my main activity was digging up ground elder. It was Prince Phillips funeral. Limited to 30 people like everyone else. A good start to the day on Sunday, finished the everyman crossword before we got up. Went for a ride, mainly to see what the hospitality activity was like. The Oracle was very busy as were most pubs I went past but it was a bit varied. Some heaving some just busy. Went down a track near this place just outside Shiplake.
Had a game of Sherlock in the evening with James and Amy. It was very difficult all based round an old newspaper article we hadn't read. A bit annoying, cant see how anyone was meant to pick up on it.
