Today was a birthday frenzy of excitement. But 2 years ago today we had my son’s 5th birthday. No friends, no party, all done via zoom. To find our leaders didn’t play by their own rules is heartbreaking for so many and insulting to us all #partygate
My 6yo son asked me what I watched on YouTube when I was young. I told him we didn’t have YouTube in the 80s and 90s. He told me that I must have been very sad 🤣
@geofftech got a massive favour to ask - any chance of a birthday video message for a tube-mad 6yo? He’s devoured all “secrets of” videos, demanded a race around the Overground for his birthday, and has picked Newcastle as a stopoff point in August to ride to Tyne & Wear Metro
@VirginActiveUK is the Aldersgate club open? Been waiting for 15m on the phone but no answer. Money taken out of my account in spite of attempts to contact you!
From two days on the Overground, most people are wearing masks. But men in their 50s seem to be having problems. And yet the under tens seem to manage fine...
Popped into local bike shop. Of 20 customers I was the only one with a mask. Going to be interesting to see if people are willing to wear them in 10 days...
We both had COVID, one severely (but luckily not hospitalised). 4yo at home, we stayed home, endured hell. But silly me - a trip to granny for a bit of childcare was totally allowed all along!!!
