P, would enjoy a ride today but not sure what has been planned for me without my knowing. Sisterhood has undefined expectations of course -- that goes without saying. Speculation on shopping expeditions may offer me a break in the action.
Daughterhood is in town to commiserate with the newly fatherless and has suggested a midday rendezvous.
Weather looks promising. I play a match at 6:PM tonight so would need to keep the ride under 1000 kms. More soon I hope -- when the slumber-hers arise, W
Patrick James Dunn I suppose that is why you are in such good shape Cactus, standing when you knead your bread dough!
David Kessler Patrick, did you see my email message from a few days ago about the David Coffaro?- Patrick James Dunn Yes indeed, I noted your "stumbleage", dear Wine Thief!
I looked at the forecast as soon as I was up, about an hour ago. Looks pretty good for the entire day so we should be able to log 999 km without much difficulty! Basically, I'm ready to go whenever it suits you. If you wanted to swing by here when you have been given dispensation to do so, we could do A SP Loop and then I'd probably head out to UBC afterwards. Let me know if this might work. Cheers, Patrizzio!
Hadn't heard from The Snowshoe Crew since New Year's Eve when Chloë phoned. I was out on a ride, (described below), so didn't have a chance to chat. However, viewing the pictures she posted, looked like a grand time, from teapot wine decanter to wonderful snow! [Teapot made us chuckle as when we were first in Puerto Vallarta, in the early '90's, Clara and Dusty discovered a restaurant called Ernesto's and it was just a hole in the wall, literally. Owners didn't have a liquor license for wine so we brought our own and Ernestos poured contents into a teapot and served it that way!]
Since Sutherlands had prepared the turkey for Christmas dinner Clara wanted to have ours on New Year's Day. We had invited close friends, Kirsten and Alastair, and their two daughters, Margot and Lise, along with the Swedish Twins, Vittorio and Patrizzio.
Very wet day yesterday so spent most of day putting away Christmas decorations. We moved our tree outside and will take it to be chipped on Saturday at Kingsgate Mall by a group that helped promote Aunt Leah's tree lots. Will have quite a load as will take Chloë's tree as well as the Sutherland's. Forecast predicts sunshine all day today so am planning a ride with Giorgio.
Need to take my Trek in to have a part replaced. Have known about this since just before I left for California but hadn't had any gear slippage since then so never got around to taking it back in. Want to do this this weekend, at latest, as I'm off to Parksville on Thursday of next week, until 27th. Looks like we will be having quite a few friends visiting/staying while we house/cat sit so a bit like Sydney House!
Time to suit up so must away. Fondestos from Cora Lee to you both as we embark into 2014. Cheers, Patrizzio!
Thanks again for lovely visit. Had been planning a ride with Giorgio. However, when push came to shove, he was bound with Sisterhood Shopping Shackles so had to bow out. Phoned Robo Man but he said he simply didn't have the energy. His heart rhythm has been acting up of late so that is a bit worrying, of course.
Anyway, will head out shortly. Not quite sure in which direction but will make a decision once I'm out the garage door. Looks like we will be having quite a few friends visiting/staying while we house/cat sit so a bit like Sunshine Valley! Cheers, Patrizzio!
