Good news everyone, this is going to be a quick one, because I've been at home all weekend. Yes, you heard right, for the first time since the 14th of May, I've had a whole weekend in my own bed, by choice (I'm not including the weekend when "The Emma" gave me the lurgy, as that wasn't by choice!
What the hell's going on I hear you all saying. What's he playing at? You can't have adventures from your own bed and that's a fact! Well, mid week I suddenly realised that it's only a week until my big summer adventure and as of Friday, I'd done nothing in the line of packing, route planning, bike cleaning etc, and at the same time, I'd been neglecting everything else while I gallivanted around enjoying myself. To that end it's been a weekend of odd jobs and sorting stuff out. The allotments looking much better, the overgrown Hollyhocks and dried out Alliums from the gardens at home have been taken to the tip for composting, and most importantly I've spent a good few hours pulling bikes to bits for a good clean and overhaul, so I should be ready to go again by next weekend. While I was at it, I've also sorted out my packing for my next adventure too (more details to follow) which always seems to take forever to sort out. So without further ado lets have a look at some pictures from this weekends endeavours. Oh, but before we do, I did get out on the bike Sunday. Well, I can't have you all think I'm getting lazy in my old age can I. Although to be honest, there's not much to say about that either. It was more of a shakedown ride than anything else. Having had my bike in far more bits than it's ever supposed to be in, I thought it would be sensible to put some miles on it before next weekend just in case, and besides it gave me the opportunity to check that all my kit fitted on the bike too, which also seemed sensible. So, for the second time, without further ado, lets stop talking and start looking.
