    I dont blame you for the mask and gloves DIA. Although I don't think I could cope with a mask, but I'd wear the gloves. Glad you had a good long cycle ride :).
    It's true the mask is awful and I hate it. I only put it on when I go into a shop. On the street I just keep a safe distance and enjoy the fresh air, especially with this lovely sunshine :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    It's good to take precautions. It's nice for us intoverts to be encouraged to stay at home and socially distance - just a shame the rest of the family is here doing the same thing at the same time LOL.
