It is actually very sad when I think about it that the only time I get to myself is cycling to work. On the weekend Kathryn or Erin might ride with me so my work commute really is the only time I have alone. In 16 months in Canberra I have had 2 hours alone at home while I was waiting for a delivery. That's it. There is always someone there. Can't even always escape in the bathroom!
So riding to work is a great idea for busy mums who need some solitude. Yes if the school phones with a sick child (and let me tell you it does happen) you might take longer to get there to pick them up but you can definitely enjoy those minutes before picking up the sick/vomiting child. I've had enough of those lately, it's time for a clear run.
Anyway, another beautiful morning on the bike path/road. No wind! Wish I could say the same about the afternoons though. Also saw the first balloon in ages floating around Parliament House. Took the photo but it is hard to see, it's actually below the flag in the triangle bit (yellow and red Questacon balloon).
