Weekend

Had a great Sunday – the puppies got us up early but today, this was a good thing as I had taped the Argentina vs Germany game and wanted to watch it early so we could go out and get our “stuff done”
I planned on a bike ride for the afternoon as the weather forecast was for an awesome winters day, blue sky, sunshine and a high of 12 degrees – nice!!!!

Check out the pic – this was taken about 6.30am, I left a tee shirt on the line and it’s frozen, not Nth America cold but cold enough!!!

Anyway – watched the game and have to say that Germany made the Argies look like a second rate team – with a performance like that, it’s hard to see any other team hold the trophy aloft. They’ll be dancing in the streets in Berlin come the 15th of July.

We then headed out to do our normal Sunday morning thing – check out a few shops, do the food shopping and stopped by a garden centre to find a small tree for a vacant spot – we’ve been looking at this spot for about 4 months now and finally decided to do something about it!!

Stopped off for a chicken kebab for lunch – mmm, bloody beautiful and home by about 12.30.

Got my kit on and went out for a ride – it felt really good, did about 14km and managed to hold a good pace throughout so was very pleased – the old legs felt a bit like jelly after that but it’s just a start.

Another picture – me in my kit (sponsored by my work, nice)




Made lamb shanks in the crock-pot for dinner – another beautiful meal put together by the wife – she really spoils me (have I mentioned that before?) and pretty much spent the rest of the evening catching up on some recorded TV. I jumped on the work laptop and did a little bit of work but just to save me an hour or so on Monday so I could sneak away to the pool for a midday swim BUT 2 staff out today ill so no swim for me today – bugger.
