My summary of 2020

<< < (6/6)

andy120t:
Let's all look forward to a better 2021, and especially to all who have health concerns - my thoughts are with you all.

The worst for me (and it's a minor issue really!) is only having been out once this year on a bike ..  my old Triumph early in the year.. Now, nothing is starting so Ive been blasting out fuel lines and  praying I don't have to strip carbs... CB900 responded and runs, Triumph carb had a new gasket set from Santa but the last few days have been too cold although it's so simple it should run, ZX6 coughs but won't fire .. and the SOHC650 has a stripped thread in the head do is sidelined until I summon up the courage to helicoiL.

Happy New Year to all and let's look forward to 2021!

Wow, makes my year seem pretty normal. Had 4 weeks off for the 1st lockdown and worked ever since (3 days a week). Used my MG quite a bit for work as well as the Honda and the Suzuki.

We even managed a couple of weeks away in the caravan during August. Me , the Mrs and the dogs. Very quiet, but away and out.

Wife retired, then got another job, but only 2 days a week.

Bought an interesting old BSA hybrid, but not been out on it yet as this was only a few weks ago.

Like all, we miss being able to go out, not that we always want to go out, but being able to (if that makes sense)

Christmas was quiet as my daughter (who works with my wife in school) could not come round and my son, who is at uni in London had notification that he could come home decided to get a covid test along with his housemates. He and a friend were negatives but the third lad (a teacher) was positive

. They are all being retested tomorrow, so may see my son over new year.

Still, if that all I have to complain about, I am furtunate.

There are a lot of lonely folk about in these times. who I feel sorry for. I have a few friends that live alone and I know they are getting really fed up, but lucily not to the point of depression.

Hopefully, the vaccines that are coming through will be administered in the coming months and things will get back to some sort of normality.

Happy and healthy new year to all

healthwise its been an ok time but just immensely busy. i'm a site manager at a behavioural school so been constructing partitions etc.  then someone asked me to translate some school covid stuff into welsh and that was most evenings taken up.   i did get a few sneaky rides on the cbr6 a few times but not much else.  lets hope for a better new year!
