What a lovely weekend - and the summer has finally arrived with the warmest day of the summer forecast. Woot! 22C. Wow! Mike got away early to head off to South Ohau Hut with his punters on Friday (I dropped him off at the ferry terminal where the tramping van is stored). Then I collected Toby from the Tabor household and dropped the nanny off back at uni. Then home to chill out.
We had a great sleep and then we were up to head off for our cycling adventure. We went to Eastbourne and headed south towards the lighthouse at Pencarrow. We didn't get that far as Toby was a bit uncomfortable on his bike. But he did love it and wants to do it again this weekend coming.

After riding for an amazing seventeen minutes, Toby's moaning meant I caved in and stopped for lunch. The lunch was gourmet and designed to tempt us. So I only have myself to blame. Hahahah. I did manage to get Toby to head south a little longer before we turned around and headed back to the car. We did a heady 7 kilometres in 1.5 hours! Wow. We can only get faster, right? Toby loved it though. I do need to track down some bike pants that fit him. He was wearing mine and it looked decidedly baggy. Like he'd done a big mess in his pants. But sssshhhhh. Don't tell him!
After that we headed home to make brandy snaps for Kara's party and then went around to her place. Toby was a little bored (and I knew no one besides Kara) so we snuck off to the pier. Toby was going to jump in, but eventually chickened out. I bet it was cold anyway!

Back home and off to see Christine for a cup of tea in the evening. The boys loved catching up with each other.
Had a nice sleep and then a lazy start to Sunday. Wandered around for lunch with Helen and Ron (they had friends over) and tried to help Helen with her computer. It needs an overhaul (swap the C and D drives for a start).
Sally sensibly piked from the zoo trip we had planned and Toby and I did our Sunday chores. I ironed while watching a documentary on human origins. Great fun!
Mike got home from his tramping trip and looked fit and healthy. He had a lot of fun too. Off to bed to watch a movie and sleep.
I got up early for my morning run and saw Venus looking stunning in the morning sky - have a look before sunrise to the way the sun is rising and you'll see it. It's brilliant. Like a diamond.
Today is such a nice day. Easily the best day ever all summer. Have a wonderful week.
Love,
Angela
