Express delivery this evening as we delivered a whopping 250 Manchester Post community newspapers in the Longsight and Rusholme area. Filled with local good news stories to spread positive, community focused highlights, we took just under an hour to get around our patch.

With a short run either side from and to Ardwick, we also got a few more km in to add to the Strava stats.

Good to see the positive reception from locals and maybe we'll have a few more to deliver next time.

Much drier mission this time! Back to help Mrs L clear the front garden as we head into spring.

Ivy clearing, more leaf clearing, and weeding around the beds plus lots of turf removal. Handy tools with a hoe, rake, and garden broom supplementing a good supply of GoodGym elbow grease and sturdy gloves 💪

Managed to clear as much turf as possible, weeded around the fern and poppies, and cleared all the leaves and ivy (without wrecking the fence). Had a good chat about home cooked meals, lasagne, local hairdressers, and the dogs. Mrs L seemed bright and happier at the end of the task.
