    Last morning. Most packing done. Mess about in pool, buggy for luggage and us to car, drive to airport, crush in with the masses, board, get sungodded on champagne, home. Boo.

    Annual leave finished, so back to WFH again. Feed the little DHLs first, then drag the extra monitor back out and set up the home office on the dining table.

    Morning. Currently in enforced isolation until results in. Only the dog wants anything to do with me and I'm having to ignore him. Blue sky's here for a change.

    Poor pooch. Maybe you could disinfect him every time you give him back to the rest of the family?

    Working from the office today as I've got other errands to do in the big walled town later, including a bike ride hopefully.
    Getting nervous about the bug Currys lorry coming tomorrow. At least I've got the day off now.

    Morning, cold start here misty woods etc couple of amusing emails to read through.

    Being cold also means I should check the wood burner an see about firing it up, mean time get to try the lovely Rapha top I got in their sale.

    Coffee and shenanigans are a go, work are headed to Italy this week, lucky bar stewards.

    Good moaning all,
    It was a chilly 7°C when I pedalled off to work earlier but wow was it clear when the sun came up. You could see for miles and the air was still, smoke and steam from businesses going straight up. The sun remained out for my homeward journey and the temp has crept up to around 15°C and rising…

    Coffee and apple now then think about fixing leaking roof

    Just for Stevo OXO is officially POXO
    Free. Negative result for all, just need to shake this cold / high temp. Good news is OH has agreed to some new longs and tops to assist with temp swings we've been getting. Normally manage with summer or winter gear. Oh and everyone can leave me in peace tomorrow.

    So you were just suffering from hypochondria then Oxo? :) Good news and your family will no longer treat you like a leper - that must warrant a beer or two to celebrate.

    Doing not a lot today while the minions take the strain at work, unfortunately got a bit of Dad's taxi to do this evening.

    Stevo if a temp between hi 38s and 39s is hypochondria then guilty as charged, as to beer yuk. Taste buds shot. Everyone relieved and can go about their normal life and dog on his mat next to me.

    just to cheer them up, read the false negative bit...

    Same here. If I was working at work I'd have a cornetto in one hand, espresso in the other, feet up and tdf on ITV-player.
    At home I have mrs DHL asking me if I'm busy every five mins and can I fold this up, make lunch, wipe little DHLs bottom...etc...
    Scrub that, they've gone to the park to meet some friends (how many bubbles are you allowed?) So I'm off to the freezer and espresso machine.

    Back, not that cold.

    Only managed 3 splits of that N. Feuillatte stuff off BA before I felt the eyes of death burning a hole in me from across the aisle.

    Nicked another for the bag, just to get the money's worth.

    Should have passed her a bottle and said 'You look right miserable luv, get some of this down you'. What's the worst that could happen? o:)
