That’s the weather fixed!

Monday, August 30th, 2010

For the last few years, as soon as we get to summer, Judith sets up the paddling pool for the kids. As soon as it’s full, the sun goes in and the rain starts – without fail. Every year I ask her not to do it and every year she ignores me.
Well I’m pleased to say that today I drained the damn thing, so we should be in for a spell of nice weather finally.

Get out and enjoy it – just remember who fixed it for you, eh?

Holidays, illness and an epiphany…

So we had a few days away on Anglesey and it was nice. A change is as good and all that…
We met up with an old friend who has bought a place on the island and his enthusiasm might have rubbed off on me a bit, yes times are tough, yes things don’t always go the way you’d like, but that doesn’t mean all hope is lost. I shall be striving to do more, but having a wanky virus has put paid to any riding (I’d even planned a ride with another old mate). Soon though…

So – work hard, enjoy life and get out and do a bit more. I need to improve my fitness and general health, so invite me on a ride – I might just make it…

Wow, a 29er that doesn’t look horrid!
