Is anyone else feeling hot? Is it just global warming or are the weather gods having a great time messing with nature? In any case, I have to say that here it is - 9:25pm - and I'm sitting outside on my back patio with a sleeveless top on and a skirt! WTF?? We've got several candles lit, we're sitting in lawn chairs with our laptops, I'm enjoying a white wine spritzer on ice, tunes playing on the iPod and I can't believe I've got to get up and go to work in the morning!! What is wrong with this picture people??
Anyhoo this is supposed to be a cycling update. Over the past couple of months I've been quietly pedalling away in the basement headed to all points southeast - Philly (I'm ready for those cheese steaks Judy) and a whole bunch of other places nearby (I'd list them but that would mean getting up, going inside and getting the map on which I've marked my journey. So suffice it to say I don't want to get up again. Once it turns cold again, and it will turn cold again, then I'll be in my Room of my Own blogging away and I'll get the map out.
I just updated my mileage tracker in my sidebar and I've actually gone 25km past Philly on my way to ?? Stay tuned for further, more explicit, updates. Yes, I'm lazy. Except when it comes to my bike. Last week I unwrapped my outdoor bike, filled the tires with air and hit the streets. What a blast! I've racked up 80km in 4 rides since last Thursday and I'll be out again tomorrow as the thermometer is going up into the high 20'sc (high 80'sF). I find (you'll find this interesting Mark) that I have fewer hot flashes when I'm pedalling along creating a nice breeze! However, keep your mouth closed as the bugs are back. Something hard smacked me in the middle of my forehead today! OWWW!
So that's my highly detailed update for today - I hope you enjoyed
it :)

I like the red - but mine is a light brown....I am not bold enough to do color ;)
ReplyDeleteI personally love the red color. Of course, I am a bit bold. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that expression dust bunnies, so much cuter than what usually lurks under a bed. I love the idea of a red bedroom, just don't know if I would be brave enough.....
ReplyDeleteSo close, but yet so far.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my bedroom is that exact color! I shit you not!
Okay, keep pedaling! I'm so excited!
m.
My head is now filled withe the song "Riding along on my pushbike honey"...it will be there ALL day.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Oh oh, now mine is TOO!
ReplyDeleteDo I get to see that red bedroom of yours? I'm getting close!
ReplyDeleteActualy red is NOT a restful colour so I certainly wouldn't do my own bedroom in that colour!
ReplyDeleteMe either, really. I tend towards whites, beiges and taupes - how blah!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to be bold! My daughter chose a pinky-orange colour for her bedroom - but I don't look forward to the day when I have to neutralize it in order to sell the house!
ReplyDeleteOh no, you suffer from allergies? That sucks!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it gorgeous?!? I got colour on my arms over the last couple of days from being out so much!! lol!
ReplyDeleteYou're in Philly already? I'm so excited because I'm not far away!!! You will be visiting ME soon!! YEAH!!
ReplyDeleteaw man I didn't peddle fast enough! I'm still in Texas LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh my, you're close indeed!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing! My butt would swallow the bike seat.
ReplyDeleteThis weather is something outrageous isn't it? There's kids out there in tank tops and shorts today!! even more shocking, Boomer says it's gonna be -15 with the windchill tomorrow. WTF indeed.
