It's been a lovely weekend after a somewhat miserable week, weather-wise. Yesterday I swam, and then pottered about the flat for a while (cleaned windows!) before deciding the weather was too good to waste really. So I hopped on the bike and did the ride around the bays to the Chocolate Fish Cafe for a hot chocolate. (I discovered dipping a chocolate fish into hot chocolate makes the pink stuff inside melt slightly. Yum.) It was chilly but sunny so I sat outside by the sea and watched the sparrows hopping around hopefully for food. One of them got the end of an ice-cream cone. Cycled back via the supermarket and flopped feeling virtuous. The view across the harbour was stunning; clear right up to the mountains at the end of the Hutt Valley which had snow on the top.
Today was slightly less sunny but still not too windy, so good for rowing. We have a coach now who's keen on technique (a good thing) and took out a coxed four which moved okay given the scratch-ness of the crew. Afterwards I subbed into the social/masters' mixed eight which was fun. My blisters are all coming back; joy. After all that exercise I'm fairly knackered, so am flopping again once more feeling virtuous - the more so because I also cleaned and did laundry today.
