Thankfully Friday!


A chilly start to the day with 14 degrees and a strong southerly making it feel much cooler. Is this summer? The ride felt sluggish today. Probably as I am tired after staying up too late trying to get my dress to a wearable stage. It is! I did it! So tonight I will have the little pink number on – skirt anyway. The bodice still need finishing so I will wear my black shirt to cover the multitude of sins.

Checked out the roller rink again this morning with the girls rolling off at 9am. I am so looking forward to tonight I could barely sleep. My big issue though is with the uneven surface and now not just trees and poles in the middle, but umbrellas as well. My favourite skating backwards around the rink in the normal direction will be so much more difficult with the hills up and down. How are beginners going to cope? I just want to be able to land my waltz jump, do a 2 foot spin and hopefully an IB upright. That will keep me happy for night number 1. It is a full year since I have skated but watch out Canberra – here I come.

Back to the bike ride. Overcast and miserable with the odd spit of rain. Frustrated to hear my Facebook friend lost one full dress size walking 20 minutes a day for a month (with no dieting). Here is me cycling 150km per week, plus walking, swimming, tennis and the other things I have been doing and is there any difference – no. Aargh!

Have been using MS Word to post the blog yesterday and today. I loved the photo effects I could have. What a pity that the pic didn't work. So here I am editing manually. Now my pic is in!
