twinned with trumpton

By MrFT

10km on the bike in glorious sunshine; then knuckling down to WFH with added bursts of laundry and kitchen tidying. The sobering news that one of my team has tested positive for you - know - what and another's teen son has tested positive too. This in spite of increasing numbers of vaccinations, too.... 

At lunchtime, I cycled out to meet Her (She was done by 1) and whilst I continued the toil til 4, She set up base camp at the beach.

At 4, I took along the board; there was consternation at a jet ski zipping in and out of swimmers and boarders; apparently the neds jet ski mob had also been involved in fisticuffs, too! (I'm sure Pensioner will fill you in in the details) The police were called but never showed up; however there was a comic moment when the jet ski was left on the shore line and the tide was falling and it appeared for a few glorious moments that the jet ski might be stranded on the beach - oh how sweet that would have been.

Anyhoo, She boarded with a couple of others - there's been a hastily arranged Whatsapp group cobbled together to try and coordinate times to go out / arrange jaunts etc.

Whilst She boarded I chatted a while with a very tanned looking yachtist of the neightbourhood. A couple of hours passed and we exited; heading up town for the much anticipated humbling at the hands of the runners up at the last World Cup. Ach, at least they got a goal. Town was subdued as I cycled homewards
