One big hill and a couple of nasty little ones


Only one big hill this week - still knackering

Off on another cycle torture session

Getting ready for another Sigma Sport Sunday Cycle. Glad the clocks went back - had a bit more sleep than last week.



Not sure about the weather/temperature - don't know whether to go with the shorts or the bib tights.... decisions decisions - "does my bum look big in this lycra?"



I'll post my HRM log as usual.

Nursery almost Finished


So the nursery only needs a chest of draws, a mattress for the cot, curtains and a baby!

Lots of Animals in the nursery


So Denise and Emma tried to get all animals from Noah's Ark on the nursery walls... Don't get too close to some of them (Emma was better at using the animal 'stamper')

Stoneleigh Sunrise


Nice sunrise on Wednesday - this was the view from the back room. Taken with the D70 - didn't have time to find optimal manual settings so I just put it onto 'NightShot' mode and took 20 or so.

HRMax of 188 = "oh my god! how much further is the top?"


Boy, I'm knackered. Just got back from Sigma Sport sunday cycle.



Ride was 41 miles, plus I've done an extra 10 going to Hampton and back.



I was worried when they decided there was only going to be one group - but encouraged when they said it would be a flat one out to Windsor. Somebody changed their mind half way along though and we ended up going to Coombe, Newlands Corner, Clandon, Cobham and god knows where else.



Ended up having to get off and walk 20 yds on one hill - which was stupid because if I'd known it was only a little further I may have been able to stick it out - The Shame!



Anyway - everyone was really friendly and helpful and I'll try and go again - baby permitting.



p.s. this pint of Coniston Brewing Co. "Bluebird Bitter" tastes wonderful and I've also got Sunday Roast to look forward to! (there is an upside to exercise)
