My, My.... How Time Flies!

Gee's I didn't realise (until I was hassled) that it had been so long since I updated. I knew I had been busy and tired, but leaving it a whole 2 weeks without updating is ridiculous I agree.

So what has happened in that two week. Umm, lets see - WW was bad, so we we won't got there. Last weekend Nita, Simon and I cycled from South Perth to Mt Henry bridge and back again. The ride was pretty good, apart from the beginning where I thought I was going to die, then realise that my brakes were grabbing and making it twice as hard to push. Once that was fixed it was a lot nicer. Here's some photos of that ride.



First photos is of the city from Mt Henry Bridge , the second photos if of the city from South Perth where we stopped and had breakfast. The easterly wind was blowing as we rode towards the boatshed, and it was so strong that it felt like we were almost about to be blown backwards. It was the toughest part of the ride. But we made it and enjoyed the view and breakfast.

Here's Nita and one of the cute little birds that put on a show for us while we ate.

This weekend just gone we cycled around Lake Monger & Lake Herdsman. The ride was beautiful, and very relaxing. Audrey was with us, and she told us that it was the first time that she had ridden a bike since she was about 15 - so she did remarkably well. However there was a bit of a topple, and for some reason she keeps telling everyone that I pushed her !! Anyway, here's some photographic evidence of the day.


The scenery was glorious. There were so many birds around it was just beautiful. The swans were very inquisitive. They even attempted to try and eat out picnic breakfast.
The City views from Lake Monger & Herdsman were spectacular. It was really pretty.

And the scenery in general was lovely. The ride was a nice easy pace as we didn't want to wear Audrey out on her first ride, which was good as it gave us heaps of time to take in the views and as the old cliche says - stop and smell the roses.




Yesterday was a public holiday in WA, and so we figured we needed to get into the garden. Here's a before and after show of what we did.


Lucy the wonder do had a lumpectomy last Wednesday, and we should get the results tomorrow. Hopefully this lump will not be the bad kind like the last one. Poor girl, she's got a huge cut on her back that's about 10cm long, and she's also got a couple of stitches on her nose too where they biopsied the lumps on her nose.



Oh, and I've also had a go at Ribbon Embroidery. Here's my first attempt. What do you think? Not bad for a first attempt??

Photo's are great - glad Lucy is going to be OK

The garden patch was very small you could have done some more

And for the record Donna DID push me over, but I will be a trooper and ride again.

That was an amazing catch-up post!

At least we know what you've been doing now. I am surprised you even got that much of the garden done in the heat on Monday. You are braver than I am sitting in aircon all day was the extent of my holiday.

mum said lucy is okay - give the girl a cuddle for me! so let me get this right - your week consisted of assaulting my mother & finally doing that garden patch when it was too hot to breath... instead of in winter... hmmmmmm
