2 1/2 Weeks

Until my birthday. Slightly less than that actually.

Sarah has bought my present and tells me how wonderful it is but wont give me any clues as to the nature of it. On top of that an Amazon package arrived yesterday from my sister which I also dont know the contents of, and so will have to look at every day until my birthday in wonder and anticipation.

Should be a good one this year. Sarah has a host of activities planned for the day (also a surprise (grrr)). I do know that we are going to Patrick Moore’s planetarium in the evening and then staying at a travelodge overnight in Littlehampton. Even though it’s not far away it will be nice to be away from home.

On Saturday afternoon I excavated our mountain bikes from the wardrobe (yes, they were in there, and no they didn’t ought to fit in there) and did a bit of maintainance to make sure they were servicable. Then on Sunday I went for a very short ride to prove A) that the bike was still safe to ride, and B) how unfit I am. I definitely proved point B.
I’ve told my dad that I will join him on a sponsored ride late April. its only a 12ish mile ride, but the plan is to ride home again afterwards, s it’ll be about 25 miles.

Also doing some poster design work at the moment as a freebie for one of Sarah’s friends. I’m pretty happy with how it’s going and it’s providing some interest for me since the day job has got a bit slow recently. Feels like I’m not working towards anything, just working a day at a time then starting over. It’ll probably pass soon.

    Hehehehehehehehehehehhehehe…. or something. No I don’t have a surprise present for you, but perhaps I should just send you an (empty) box just for the enjoyment of knowing that you *reaaly* want to know what’s inside!! :p

    What i do know is: that I don’t know which cupboard you might have got two mountain bikes inside. Don’t tell me it’s one under the sink… is there one in your room or something? It did make me giggle though :)
