LOCKDOWN

As is the case with many people in the world right now, I am confined to "house arrest" (except for absolutely necessary outings). Social distancing, face masks, and so forth, is the order of the day. However, I could be locked up in a worse place. As it is, it is only my sister and myself, as well as the dogs, on the property. Enough space, a view, and a yard with pool as well. If I need to I can go shopping for food etc, and I can use my bike, so I get a bit of exercise. Unfortunately the tours I had lined up for the next few months have had to be cancelled, so this will be a financially challenging period, until this damn Corona Virus is overcome. Good luck to all of you in this regard.

STILL ALIVE AND KICKING

Just a little letter to say that I am still around. Having a bit of off-time from touring, but will soon be on the road again (need to, money running low!). I'm becoming a bit fat and lazy, but no excuse as I have a nice donated bike from neighbours Robyn and Les.

A bit of a fix-up and some modifications, and the bike is running nicely (named the "Black Cat").

A few months ago one of the family dogs went off to "Dog Heaven", so there is a new and rather unruly puppy on the premises (I'll post a picture as soon as he will keep still for a second). In the mean time the "Other One" has inherited the throne;

So, look who's The Boss now! (perhaps only a temporary appointment)
