Thursday already - how did that happen?
After the ride on Sunday morning, I did little more that sit in the shade watching the Supersports channel - Pro 14 rugby, International Sevens from Hamilton and a ODI between SA and Pakistan. Managed to get out of my chair for long enough to brown a couple of steaks on the braai and drink a decent Shiraz from Delheim. Good practice for the Six-Nations weekends which are coming up.
Since I had managed to drop my SA phone and smash the screen on Sunday after the ride, I was back at the Mall on Monday to get someone to fix it - not quite a 'while-you-wait' job but hopefully not a terminal case. Heading back there today to collect the finished item - hopefully.
We have already settled into a routine which involves early morning cycling or yoga, followed by breakfast and an hour or so by the pool and then a bit of relaxing during the heat of the day - particularly on Monday and Tuesday pm when it reached 39-40C in the afternoon. Even at 6.30 in the morning, Linda's found that we need the AC on for yoga.
We had our first visitors on Tuesday evening - of which more to follow. I'm not sure if its just me, but there do seem to be some odd people around.
We had a day off yesterday and treated ourselves to tickets for the One Day International cricket between SA and Pakistan at Newlands.
This was the deciding game in a 5 match series and it was great to see SA win by a comfortable margin. Thankfully it was a cooler day and we had seats in the shade. We even managed to get back to the clubhouse at Pearl Valley in time for curry night in the restaurant. Not the greatest curry but better than having to cook a late dinner at home.
I'm trying to get my cycle training in as early as possible so usually on the road by 6.30am and home between 9.00 and 10.00. Managed about 50Km this morning including one of the bigger hills but will need to do more in preparation for Sunday's 70Km ride which is over a very hilly route.
