So here we are, another lockdown, weather not so good, Who's working still?
Roads seem pretty busy still.

How's it going?

Yep still working missing my bike time and getting pretty fed up in general

Was still working until last Monday when I tested positive.

Work, work, work ..... Bournemouth & Dorchester last week, Saltash Saturday night, near Guildford today, Petersfield later in the week, Eastleigh & Havant next week.

It's strange, main roads seem a bit quieter but local roads if anything busier?

Yes, on a job I wanted to put back a week but pushed to start it, within 3 days the shit had hit the fan. If only they'd listened.

That is sssssssso shitty J.

Yep still at work at work. The daily commute takes even longer as back roads are full with everyone avoiding major routes. If the weather wasn't so awful I'd take the bike.

have not stopped all year except when old 65 reg truck holed a piston on the A39 in Camelford, been delivering animal feed, road repair stone etc , got a brand new truck in june , it now has 45,000 miles om the clock 99.9% put on it by me . as for back roads my mate drove from Yelverton to Lee Moor this morning via Cadover bridge , he said he had never known that road so busy

All trying to avoid the police.

They would have to be out to avoid

Really sorry to hear that you got Covid Jer R1 hope you have a swift recovery and does not hit you hard

Personally been very lucky have carried on working from Home. The wife does not work so she has been the teacher and is home schooling.
On the 29th Jan will have been with TNT Parcel Carriers for 25 years and was happy yesterday as got told after 5 years its time to order a new company car. So cant all be bad. Just would be nice if I was able to get out of the house to drive it.

Have to say for me social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) along with online entertainment (Disney +, Netflix) has been a real life line and provides entertainment and engagement whenever not working. Also picked up the guitar after a decade of it being in the attic and starting to get back into playing again.

Will now be going back to Saturday night Jackbox (https://www.jackboxgames.com/about/) party nights with the family over zoom

If we are going to e locked down then have to say glad we are locked down in winter when I don't want to ride the bike anyway. IF we are still locked down come biking season in April going to be really pissed.

Spending pretty much all day every day in Zoom meetings for work. Bike hasn’t been out in ages and I’m going a bit stir crazy truth be told. I’m so desperate I might even dig out the panniers and use it just for the few miles to the supermarket next time I need to go!
