"Stormy Weather"

We woke up this morning to thunder and lightning and heavy rain and so of course the only thing I could do is roll over and go back to sleep. You can't beat mother nature. Fortunately things settled down by about 10 am and so I headed down to the lake for my long swim but nothing doing. The lake was still rockin and rollin! So off to the pool where I did the requistie 4000 metres. i was a bit slower than I have been in the past but I expected that, and in fact was quite happy with my effort....mainly because it didn't take that much effort.

The next order of business was to take the princess for a ride.



She weemd to enjoy herself as she was singing and chattering the whole way. There is one little stretch where I was going slightly uphill and against the wind. I was grunting a little bit when this exchange took place.

"Grampa"
"Yes Kylie?"
"Grampa, I love you"

Suddenly there was no hill, no wind, and not a thing wrong with the world! Perhaps you have to be a grampa to understand.


With the work all done, it was time to enjoy my family. It was so good to have them all together for the first time in a long time.




Even if they are just a bunch of idiots!



I wish to dedicate 312 to Alberto Contador. If you don't know who he is, you probably won't care anyway.
