I was out on my bike this evening and saw my first Swift. I guess summer is on its way. Yippee. It was quite and eventful cycle, it started with a Kamikaze rabbit who decided to run in front of my bike, followed up by a crazy dog chasing after my ankles.
Gosh only 52 days to go....
Wahooooo. Finished work early at 5pm, jumped onto my bike and hit the road for a 2 hour cycle. It was fabulous ........
I was working from home today. This afternoon I looked out of my office window and I see this female Sparrow hawk. She had swooped down and grabbed a pigeon. She was sitting in the middle of the garden looking rather annoyed that her lunch had a lot of wrapping. I was watching her for about two minutes plucking out the mass of feathers.
I tried to get a better picture, but scared her away, she picked up the pigeon in her claws and with a couple of wing beats was up and away to eat her lunch in piece and quiet.
Guess who I work for, see this article , so you can imagine that today at work was interesting !!!!!!
The kids are at their grandparents this weekend, yippee long run planned for Saturday and lonnnnnnnnngggggg cycle on Sunday.......groovy, I love weekends.
Yeuk, first day back at work after my holiday to Egypt, Jordan. The picture is from the walk into the hidden city Petra, Jordan, its an amazing place and is up for voting for one of the new seven wonders of the world. I want to go back to Jordan, the place and people are fantastic.
Alas, the training schedule suffered while on holiday, I managed a couple of swim sessions, however this was more about practising technique than a serious workout, hmmm ok I was snorkelling.
Back into the training regime tomorrow, jeepers only 67 days to go, but as my guide in Petra would tell us ...... yalla, yalla.......
