It's Groundhog Day Tomorrow

Every morning I'm woken up by the radio alarm clock at 6am and every day it's playing "I've got you babe" Then everyday goes on to be the same as the one before and no one else seems to be living the same day over and over only me!

Oh hang on that is the story of the Bill Murray film "Groundhog Day" not my life although at the moment. Although it's not that much different.

Before I go on as it is Groundhog Day tomorrow and if you've never seen the film and you're also suck at home all day like most of us do yourself a favour and find a copy or somewhere it's streaming and watch it. It's one of my all time favourite films.

As for my life I've spent weeks now more or less living the same day over and over. I set my alarm for 9.30am then get up make breakfast and watch  "This Morning" I then put on some lycra and go on a couple of hour cycle ride on my E-Bike. I even ride the same route every day round mainly back lanes. 

I bought my E-bike a couple of years ago nearly now and when I bought it I had bad knees and it was perfect. My knees slowly got better and now give me very little pain and as much as I love my E-bike I just use it as a normal mountain bike now and it's quite a heavy mountain bike too. So don't buy an E-bike if your not going to use it as an E-bike. BTW after endlessly getting punctures as all farmers seem to do this time of year is cut hedges I've now put some green stuff in the inner tubes called "Slime" which so far is working as I got a puncture and even heard the air coming out but then it stopped and the tyre stayed up. Amazing! So that's something else I'd recommend.

So when I get home I have a shower and get some more food and then update my various social media accounts mainly with old photos and on Twitter bondage video clips as well for my followers to enjoy. I then answer any emails I have. 

After a couple of hours doing this messing about on the internet I have my dinner then watch lots of tele which includes an hr of news normally before I go to bed and sleep. Normally about 2am! If anyone wants some recommendations on what to watch in lockdown just let me know. I'll mention a couple of things here off the top of my head though. 

First if you like Marvel or StarWars get yourself  Disney plus. The Mandalorian is good and I'm currently Enjoying "WandaVision" The Lego StarWars stuff was entertaining too. "Songbird" is a film set two years in the future about if the current virus mutates into covid 23 and worth a watch even though it got some bad reviews. I think it's on Amazon Prime. Also anyone into  Electric Motorbikes check out "The Long Way Up" if you have apple TV that is. If you liked "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down" you'll probably like this too. I think I might make my own long way film "The long way round to the shops" 

I could go on but I think that's enough recommendations for now.

So that's currently my day every day. The only differences are sometimes I go for walks instead of cycling. Sometimes I chat to friends on the phone and sometimes I have to go shopping of course. Other wise that's it. 

I know I'm lucky not to have so far had a virus but I'm missing doing my sessions I'm missing seeing my friends I'm missing doing outcalls and driving all over the country to see clients and go to events. I have 2 bikes and 2 cars sat doing nothing now so I'm missing driving/riding them and I'm missing earning any money. I'm missing doing photoshoots and films and so on.

I like all of you I'm sure just want my life back and it not to be groundhog day every day. 

Here's some more photos from better times when I was allowed to go out!
