And Now We Have Tier 4

Work is fairly quiet on Friday which is a good job as I spend almost an hour chatting to a friend who’s about to have his 50^th birthday on his wet and windy doorstep. It was good to catch up.

The weather is foul, as I keep telling MD but who still insists on going out in it. As does L, who keeps bravely venturing into the city to finish her Christmas shopping. Rather than her than me, not that I do shopping in the city anyway, Covid or not.

After insisting for weeks that Christmas wouldn’t be cancelled, the Government cancels Christmas for London and the South East as they move into a newly invented Tier 4. Most of this area was in Tier 2 until Thursday and I’m sure we’ll be in it too before year end, if not before Christmas. For now Christmas is scaled back to one day for those of us not yet I Tier 4. That is, if you’re prepared to risk it.

 On Saturday I bike over to my parents place to watch the match only for it to be cancelled while I’m in transit. The Rotherham squad has had a Covid outbreak, so the game will be rescheduled. At least I got a bike ride in and got to see my folks.

On Sunday we complete our fifth chunk of the Six Pack Challenge in the very familiar surroundings of Holme Pierrepont. Although it started at somewhere called The Hook in

Lady Bay that we’d never heard of before but we have now. It was 9K in total and again we get lost but ad-lib it enough to get round.
