I’ve had a relax­ing day today. I built Jamie’s new Mini green­house and she and Megan planted some seeds and put them in the green­house (pic­tures in the gal­lery later). I got out Jan’s old bike and pumped up the tyres and fixed the gears so Kim can have it. Kim wants it to go rid­ing with Megan on her new bike.
We spent a couple of hours just sit­ting in the sun chilling. It was nice and relaxing.

I finally got my bike out the shed and pumped up the tyres and checked the gears. It’s now been two years since I rode on my bike. Far too long. I went on a quick trip to the local park and back to check it was OK. I’ll have to get back into the habit if using it.
I used to cycle to and from work on it — 7.5 miles each way, and before that when I was work­ing in Mac­cle­s­field, up to 20 miles a day on it. It kept me super fit.
I’m going to build myself up slowly so I don’t overdo it, but I intend to get back to doing 15 miles a day if I can.
