How would you like to look out on this view Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.15pm?? This is the outlook from my new office. A dirty, yellow-ish shed wall. It's certainly not very inspiring or cheerful but is more than a little overwhelming and claustrophobia inducing! One consolation is that the days seem to pass a little quicker since we moved here.
But let's put that out of our minds and look as something a bit more interesting. My OH and I joined a couple of friends on a Sunday afternoon bike ride. Despite the cold and grey day there were lots of people along this popular foot/cycle path.
The last time we cycled here was during better weather when we wore far fewer layers of clothing. We don't go cycling very often and never usually in the cold weather so I was unused cycling while wearing a woolly had, gloves and jacket. I think the walking boots were a mistake too as they made finding the correct position on the pedals a bit tricky! I confess I came off twice due to my lack of skill with the gears. Not exactly over-the-handlebar jobs but sedately falling sideways into the mud!
This was all very different from the last time we went in the summer. For one thing, I was fitter than I am now! It was also nice weather and we were less encumbered with clothing.
Bikes were parked by the river and a different kind of drink was required. Looks like I couldn't wait then either! :-)
Bye for now

Oh my...that view in your office is....well......at least the days go faster. That is good. But you have such a spectacular view all around you where you live...rivers, woods, interesting architecture and such. You really do live in a beautiful place. Your bike outing sounds both challenging and fun. I especially like the small rewards along the way!
Oh, I'm sorry for this terrible view, but at least your day passes quicker. Your ride seems to have been very nice. Have a nice week!
