This last 10 days I have been a bit quiet on the blog front. Just to advise you what I have been up to.
For anyone that doesn't know I cycle 10 miles to work and back on a weekday. So although I haven't done a 'big' cycle I have been keeping myself fit.
Last weekend I went on a stag do in Reading, on the Saturday we went canoeing, now this was good because it meant all day I was exercising my arms. Another fact about me is because I have never really been a gym goer I have big strong legs from cycling and comedy kids arms so it was good to exercise them.
A thought I had over the weekend is probably the same reason that my blog posts aren't full of vocab. Its down to my poor primary school education. I learnt all about Billy Blue hat and Roger Red hat and their activities. This is fine I could therefore understand that Red and Roger start with a 'R' and Billy and Blue start with a 'B'. However it has taken me just under 25 years to realise that John and Jennifer Yellow hats do not actually work. I think it was because this was the late 80s no-one had random names but boring ones. Therefore Yannick and Yolanda Yellow hat would have been strange. If anyone asks me how to spell Yellow its got to be J-e-l-l-o-w.
This week I went to Bike Polo again and have even been looking at the Internet for a second bike so I won't buckle my bike. This would mean I could be more aggressive in the game. Someone at work had picked up a second hand bike, so they told me about it, brought it into work and I was to give them the £15. What a bargain, however I got a little confused with the measurements when he said the wheels were 24 inch I thought perfect only a little smaller than my current bike. My bike's tyres are 25 mm in width and 30 inch in diameter, I got confused, the bike was tiny and I felt like a monkey in a circus going round in circles. It was far too small, amazing the difference six inches can make!
It has rained a couple of days this week and hopefully come September it will be drier for my cycle challenge to Land's End. Although it was quite warm and dry this evening so I went to Critical Mass. There were only 12 of us which made formations more important in stopping traffic, we still had amazing time, we were called all names under the sun and because of the weather that was technically correct.
A previous blog entry mentioned cycling to the Thatchers Cider farm, the great news is I have found a local shop four minutes walk away gets a regular delivery of two draught kegs so I can wont have to go back to the field to scrump the apples. This is probably also the reason this entry is only just coherent.
