Forgot to mention this yesterday, I have been and bought a mountain bike, decided as part of my on going fitness campaign that I would climb back on to a bike after many years of absences from the saddle to help with the weight loss and general fitness. I was told along time ago I am not allowed to run and to take up cycling, so after ignoring the advice (buying a bike not the running bit) for many years I am about to heed the said advice. Not only I have I bought one, so has Karen for the same reasons.
We don’t actually pick them up until next Saturday so if you see two wide loads trundling slowly around Bournemouth around midday next Saturday you know what it will be. The last time I climb onto a bike was only a couple of months ago, I was fooling around in the garden with the daughters bike and I ended up in a heap on the floor…………………………I was actually trying to get off the bike and it all went badly wrong.
I can already feel my body starting to ache from this cycling melarky and that without the thought of me ending up in a heap on the floor. Think I better get some achy muscle remedies in ready, plus some first aid essentials.
Well in preparation for the bikes arrival both sheds were cleaned out to make way for them, it was a long overdue job anyway which everybody puts off. We tied this in with putting the gazebo a way for the winter and hopefully the last cut of the grass for the year. You watch we will probably have an Indian summer now with the grass around our knees. Well cleaning the sheds out resulted in a large pile of bits, much of it still useful but with no where to store it, it had to go to the tip. Very disappointed when we were at the tip, somebody had dumped a large selection of Scalelectrix’s. This was something I wanted to get our son for Xmas last year but was deemed he was not old enough, had he been old enough he would of had a lot more track for it now.
Talking of son and Xmas, he decided he was going to show us in can ride a bike with out stabilisers, problem is his bike is way to small for him so we can guess what at the top of his Xmas list especially as mummy and daddy have new bikes…………….
