my marina bay Posted June 2, 2020 #2206 Share Posted June 2, 2020 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-track-coronavirus-cases Someone was asking how to find cases in their area. Click on link above, then on document, it's broken down in regions ie by geographical areas, Higher Tier Authority and Local Authority. These are the figures since the outbreak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they know how to balance. we just keep trying a little bit every day. Sure they will get there soon. Then apparently I have to get a bike, not been on one of those for at least 15years so that will be interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted June 3, 2020 #2213 Share Posted June 3, 2020 It could encourage your girls if you were to cycle with them. You could always borrow their stabilisers if needed😊. I've never been able to ride a bike. I don't know why. I've tried and tried but could never do it. It could be a sense of balance problem , or maybe I'm just naturally dizzy😏 Avril 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having a nightmare with my two Just patience, I’m afraid, and definitely a nice soft surface like grass. With our two we just kept setting them off, again and again, until they caught on. Still remember the early attempts as they disappeared, out of control, into the bushes. It’s one of those things, like walking, they suddenly just get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted June 3, 2020 #2215 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Agree - just balance All you can do is just keep on keeping on and stress that it’s ok and they will get it, sooner or later. Everyone does (except Avril, as it seems 🙂) Build their confidence that they’ll get there in the end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted June 3, 2020 #2221 Share Posted June 3, 2020 What a difference with today's weather ,no sitting in the garden today. So I thought I would have a roam around Youtube seeing little is happening on the cruise scene I thought lets have a look at Manchester Airport and see how the aviation side is faring . Not much better,watching this film is unreal. Who would have thought that one day the airport would be so empty . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having a nightmare I think the “approved” method is to remove the stabilisers and pedals, and lower the seat so the child can comfortably put both feet on the ground. Then encourage them to “scoot” until their sense of balance is increased, then re-introduce pedals and gradually raise the seat height. None of which I did of course, preferring the aforementioned husband holding seat running behind approach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMichelle Posted June 3, 2020 #2225 Share Posted June 3, 2020 We were told everyone should learn a new skill during lockdown... What was yours? Mine was a complete waste of time.. Perhaps lip reading was not the best choice now everyone is wearing masks... 😊 Andy 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
