Hi,
Congratulations to Mike on his Dunedin half marathon. With a visit to Sydney in the run up to it, it was tough finding training time. But he did well - 2 hours 27 mins. And that was with fierce headwinds for the turnaround to the end. Good on you.
Meanwhile, I was pining at home for him. :-)

Friday saw me pick up the new bike from Giant. And I rode it home. It is really beautiful. Saturday saw me tidying up Christine's stuff so we can use more of the garage. I spent a few hours boxing up the awkward shapes and labelling the boxes with the contents.
Maureen came over to finish off with me. We got the old commuting while bike back up on the wall to save more space. Then walked to Chillax to get lunch (for me) and coffees.
Ange came around in the evening. Ok. The night. 9pm delayed match for the All Blacks v SA in Wellington. And I can't believe I watched such a terrible performance. The South Africans were on fire. But no one on the ground could do anything to counteract the onslaught. And that is telling.
Went to bed at midnight and the Black Ferns quarter final started in Exeter against.... SA. So I popped on a You Tube commentary - and promptly fell asleep. Woke up at the end ti hear they had won. No idea of the score.
Thank you for the fun, Maureen.
Got home and made some bread. Tidied up. And got ready for the week ahead. Sleep terribly wondering about Spring Challenge.

Anyway - yay Black Ferns. They face Canada on our race day in the semis! Go, go!
Drove my new bike out to Kaitoke and met Maureen for a ride up the incline, down to Cross Creek and back.
2 hours from the car park to Cross Creek and back up to the summit. And I think around 2 hours 50 for the whole thing - including stops. We got caught in unexpected drizzly rain. Oh well. We got cold and wet and when I drove home at 1pm, I had the heater on nuclear setting the entire trip home.

Walked into work. Mike's early Monday morning flight home is delayed, and now he has another migraine on the plane. It's a shame for him. Not unexpected after his week and weekend though.
Have a great week!
Love,
Angela
