My nearest Waitrose is sadly quite close - does that say anything about where I live
Lidl on the other hand is a few miles away. - I am running low on diving suits

I made it to Blackness for essential sanity reasons at the weekend.Victor Meldrew wrote:So last nights drive was weird. Empty roads showed how surprisingly hard it is to judge speed when you have no other cars to use as a reference. I Was trundling along merrily thinking I was doing just under 70. Turns out I was doing 55. Didn’t feel slow.Victor Meldrew wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 5:30 pmLooking forward to my drive to Aberdeen tonight. As a category 2 critical worker I am able to go out to work. And if that involves driving 100 miles in the Elise with the roof down to get to my hotel so be it...
I have a letter from my company to show to the police confirming my status if I get stopped.
I have been out for shopping a few times in it but not had any chance to de rust the brakes.

Flight was cancelled so drove back home this morning. Will be heading back up to Aberdeen again later tonight.
Lotus lockdown mileage will be approximately 320.
Anyone else manage to get lockdown miles in?
15 miles at best

Re: Covid-19 Lockdown
I like the Waitrose idea, being in Dundee, my closest is 60 miles away in Stirling
Not sure I'd pull that off having never set food in a Waitrose mind.
I think I'd better put the regular cars on charge this weekend!

I was admiring your MINI today while driving past on my way to Click-and-Collect from Waitrose .... err... from Morrisons.
Not sure the Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney Pies would taste much different anyhow

Re: Covid-19 Lockdown
One of the few things you can rely on on these times, the "mini / panda constant" when driving west through Dundee
I kind of miss the spot on the way to work, been working from home since 11th and forgotten what the world looks like. However, may need to forage for food in a few weeks, Tesco deliveries have dried up.
Hope everyone is keeping well.

Re: Covid-19 Lockdown
You can only admire it up to the back of the front doors. When you realise it's a 5 door, it looks weird, the proportions are all wrong
Still, it's fun and the kid fits on the back.
I'm still in work, just cycling 100% as lock down has made me a fitness *
Oddly enough, I am missing my short commute - partly as I'd be cycling more, but also my short walk down Glamis Drive past all of those massive houses, to see how many are for sale this week....
*this is a lie.
I hadn't realised I had such an effect on the Dundonian ecosystemscott_e wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:07 amOne of the few things you can rely on on these times, the "mini / panda constant" when driving west through Dundee

I haven't been inside a building I don't own since 21st March. Work has been busy, so at least I have that, and we painted the outside of our house, which took a LOT of our spare time. It's so bright now that it blinds you in the sun!
