We were out walking our greyhound last night wearing our face masks when a passing cyclist shouted ‘that’s not til Friday, IDIOTS’.

Fuming 😡, like we like wearing them! I feel conscious enough as it is, but wearing one does make me feel that bit safer.

What gives him the right? How does he know what’s going on in my life.

Oh well, here’s a photo of Noah keeping me sane through these strange times.

Put it down to their ignorance and lack of maturity and do what you feel is the right thing for you.

Noah looks like he is spoilt same as our ginger tabby baby!

How annoying, shallow people. My hubby had to go to the shop while we were in lockdown he wore his mask into the shop, he told me there were a lot of sniggering at him for wearing it. Why? Now it’s mandatory in Scotland, I wonder if they still snigger.

Exactly! Will certainly feel better come Friday when everyone has to wear them.

Sheer ignorance, they are idiots. Ignore them and with a bit of luck they might get themselves educated. Noah looks like a lovely lad, he also looks quite contented. xx

Hi there, do not give this foolish clown another thought and do not allow them to tinge your day. They are not worth the energy of a thought. Your dog is very beautiful and elegant. After racing and waiting for a good home, I am sure you will give Noah the best retirement he could wish for. Have a nice day. 😊🌼🌻

Everyone's got an opinion haven't they. People should just mind their own business.

But I just want to say, what a beautiful dog you have ❤🐕

Hard not to be affronted Taffsmum. But just remember who the real idiot was! 😄

Surprises me how some people concentrate on 'the rules' and forget the underlying cause. We have an 80 year old friend who does everything she possible can, and then some, on the basis - well its allowed now.

Masks mandatory in Spain now, inside and out, just a very few exceptions.

I would be fuming, too. So rude above anything else, and what's not "till Friday"? I don't get how rude people have become and how unaware. If he was on a bike, you couldn't even ask him what he was upset about. Not allowed to protect yourselves or anyone else until Boris tells us we can? That's how the virus spreads. Let's hope he goes and tells his friends about the "idiots" he saw wearing masks and that one of them can tell him it's your business, not his.

Of course.I wont write what Id really like to call him as such language wouldn't be allowed on here!Some people are really pathetic.

Likes of people like him shouting and sweating that spread Covid. My husband won’t let me go cycling at the moment because of “Lycra Lunatics” dashing past. At least he knew when to put a mask on 😷

Sadly stats are going up in Spain, we fear a second wave, mad to allow tourism, both international and inter regional. But it is so important to the economy. So we are preparing for a second wave, buying a bit extra at every shop.

One of the things I have bought is hats with plastic screen in front, my husband says they are 'bill and ben' hats. If it gets bad again we will wear them and, quite honestly, give anyone who laughs a truly international hand sign.

That reminds me of my husband last year, when we were first here we were the near victims of car jacking, didn't get caught out as we refused the 'help' but they the nicked our car papers and that was a hell of a job to sort out.

Anyway my husband said after that he would not hesitate to 'dismiss' someone who tried anything again. Well last year we had just done a shop in Aldi, husband had sorted out the bags and got in drivers seat, I was returning from taking the trolley back when I saw this guy approach the car. Saw my husband get out of the car, speak to him and he almost ran. When I got back Ron explained that he had tried to tell him our rear tires were going flat (which we knew they were not because he had just checked and sorted pressure) and would we like to go to his garage round the corner. Ron is 6'5", he got out of the car, towered over this little man, didn't even bother with Spanish but just growled 'F*** off' at him - that's when he ran!!

Maybe a bit off topic but I thought it would amuse you.

So it seems, when we have been at our local hospital (I've had surgery and he broke his foot) he has a fan club among the female doctors and nurses, despite being in his seventies! I think he is gorgeous of course!

I said to one of them, 'but I'm tall as well, I need a tall man', and she just looked wistfully at me, sighed and said 'oh me too'.

I frequently tease him about it.

Idiots. I've been shielding alone with my Greyhound. My soulmate.

If I had time before he disappeared my reply would have been something like, I am suffering from what could be Covid so protecting you !

Probably too ignorant to understand though.

Try not to let it stop you wearing your mask or walking your lovely Noah.

I was hoping we’d see him again today so I could say my piece!

Today we got looked at by a cyclist and she just said ‘scary’. What is it with people on bikes, I spose they know they have a quick getaway.

Yes, people can be rude and ignorant.

However, that is a great dog photo. And he gets the couch!
