The Bright Side

It’s a glorious ride in as its lovely sunny morning. I might even get a tan, well a lobster pink one anyway.

Maths D-day today, if Daughter gets there that is. Apparently she was still doing her make-up at home half an hour before kick off. Which is putting undeserved trust in the time keeping of Nottingham City Transport and there aren't even any extra marks for perfect make-up.

There are four bikes in our car park today as another employee succumbs. If we get organised and coordinated we could make it six in the car park in one go. Another person is debuting a new bike today with his SPD clip in pedals. We’ll all be checking for cuts and bruises tomorrow.

I reckon L’s had a good morning but then I'm a great believer in looking on the bright side, whereas my beloved is perhaps not so inclined. I think is very impressive that she managed a long cycle, a swim and a weights session, all before work, even if it wasn’t what she intended. Her bike ride took longer than she expected which ate into her swim time and then her planned yoga class was moved to later in the morning so she had to do weights instead. Frustrating perhaps but still impressive.

A recent post by fellow blogger ‘Private Secret Diary’ made me smile. He was trying to teach his toddler the merits of the phrase ‘go back to bed’ but to no avail. Then he ponders on at what age children’s brains develop enough to know that ‘go back to bed’ are four of the best words in the English language. His other favourite batches of four words are ‘fancy a quick pint?’ and ’shall I wear boots?’.

Someone else has commented, before I had chance to, that of course the best eight words in the English language are 'Shall I wear boots? Go back to bed'. Ha ha.

After work, I train MD in the garden and then take Doggo across to Derby for his training session, it’s too hot to take MD and expect him to wait in the car. When we get back it’s as if we’ve been gone for a week. He is very pleased to see us.

Apologies to anyone who read last Thursday’s post where I wrote 'We all squirt across the field into the early evening sun'. Sorry for any confusion, it’s now been corrected.
