The weaning is going well. On Saturday we went for lunch at Ka Pao. It was my birthday present from J n A. It was great Thai food, we went for the sharing menu, all really good. We bumped into Alex Latchford from Mansfield Rd in the botanical gardens on the way. Stopped off in the park for bit on the way back. Spotted a couple doing some slack lining that I've never seen before.
My birthday on Sunday. Got a Sure ME58 mic from M and Sony WF C500 ear phones from T n S. Also Mother's Day and the clocks went forward.
James baked a cake.Madeline was very excited.
Another glorious day. Took Madeline for a walk late morning. Had a great birthday meal but only 3 candles on the cake.
Had a pint in The Belle on the way back. Brilliant birthday. Look Madeline out for a walk late Monday morning. Spotted a male and female Goosander on the Kelvin.

I've been doing the coronavirus posts for 2 years now and was thinking of stopping. Restrictions have been removed in England and although there are still lots of cases on the whole they are quite mild. It's also no longer the top recurring news item as that's been replaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is still an issue though as Amy got pinged by the test and trace app. Both her and James have tested negative with lateral flow tests and she has no symptoms but she's also done a PCR and is waiting for the results. Monday was another glorious day. We went swimming for the first time in a while. I also cleaned up the outside wooden table with the water blaster and gave it a coat of oil.
Started wearing shorts. Amy's PCR test was negative on Tuesday. Went for a ride late morning. Spotted this graffiti on the side of the IDR near the Hook and Tackle.Seems a be BLM type of thing. Madeline has been swimming.Monday, March 21, 2022

Steve organised a great walk on Saturday to ease us into things. Went out for an italian in the evening at Al Forno. They've started to wean Madeline.
I arranged a walk on Sunday followed by Sunday lunch at the Dalesman. We did quite a hard walk on Monday up a waterfall called Cautley Spout.
There was a bit of snow up there and splendid views of the Lake District
It was a bit much for Bobby.
Jane and Dave cooked a chilli in the evening. Walked to Dent and back on Tuesday. A walk of 2 halves up over the boggy top into a very strong wind then a sedate walk back mostly along the river. Heard an owl in the hot tub. Becky and Nick cooked an excellent vegan cashew nut and mushroom dish. Everyone sort of did their own thing on Wednesday so we did a walk round Sedbergh and had a pint in the Black Bull. We spotted a lamb on the way back that was bit distressed as it had got through a fence and couldn't get back. It started jumping up at us so I caught it, pulled it over the wall an reunited it with its mum. It was a number 19.

A bit of a lazy day on Monday. Went to BnQ for some screws. Good to see a fair few still wearing masks even though Boris has lifted all restrictions. About 25% say. At least you don't feel out of place wearing one. We helped out at the Holy Brook Nook community project for a few hours on Tuesday, clearing brambles.Bumped into Lindsey on the way back chatting to the Wolseley St baker. He gave us a couple of muffin like things that were still warm and very tasty. Spotted this at the top of the first hill.

Had the cherry tree in the garden cut down on Wednesday. We have kept some wood including a piece Ian has offered to make a bowl out of for Tom as it was his tree.The road was resurfaced on Thursday. Looks weird without any cars.
Did a nice ride with Andy to Brightwell Baldwin. Great pub lunch at The Lord Nelson. Had a really good first Thursday drinks session in the Fox n Hounds in the evening. Took some photos of the bridge on the way back.
