Why am I here?


Why am I here? Not in an existential way, just why am I here on blogger?

My intention is to record good stuff that I do - bike rides, baking, making and visiting - and the silly, clumsy stuff too.

Watch this space and I apologise in advance if my updates are a bit sparse. I never was much good with diaries...

It's do or dye

The hair dye saga has finally come to an end. Phew.
I applied a lovely mid-brown on Monday and I now have very shiny brown hair with not a hint of pink. Never thought I would be so pleased to have normal coloured hair.

Okay, I promise, no more bimbo posts for a while. Or until I do my next stupid thing - whichever is first.

As for exercise? Hmmm. It's been a bit sparse. All I can say is God Bless Coach Troy Jacobson - that's the man who, according to J, just shouts "3,2,1 and soft pedal" over a 80's porn soundtrack. I suppose to the non-pedaller that is a fairly accurate assessment - there is a lot of garish lycra and sweating.
I have been on a few times since my last update for a 50 minute torture session each time but yesterdays really took the biscuit. 4 sets of: 15 secs at 95% effort, 15 at 97.5% and 15 at 100%, 15 seconds 'recovery'. 15 SECONDS??? 15 minutes might have been more helpful. Wow! My legs were like jelly - it's a good job that was the last bit. And I am really going to have to try to curb my instinct to vomit when I try hard...
And sweat?? I didn't know the human body contained that much 'spare' water!

I am pleased to say however that on Sunday, when my lucky lucky husband is away spending the night at a very cool museum, I am going for a bike ride. A real one - outside and everything. :-) And do you know what, I can't wait.
I will post photos at the beginning of Feb, because that's probably when I will get round to writing my next post. I'm sorry...

Bye for now.
