well thinking that winter was over weve had a good time mainly sitting out in the garden.. that is until today when we had a really grey day. didn't know whether to rain or just be cold. we had all seasons. Typical i suppose for Auckland Spring. Unlike some who feel like they're inside a fan oven (see C Waters)
all this after we've been doing all sorts of things in the garden like planting stuff which Anne seems to provide an inexhaustible supply. Also trimmed the leaves on the palms outside the front so we can actually see daylight. Lastly the outside of the house. waterblasted (gently) most and removed yards of stuff from the gutters where the huge macrocarpas shed their needles. even through the mesh screen!
Today penny decided that 60 lengths of the pool was the target. I couldn't believe when she appeared at my arm when I had just completed 42! I guess that means I am busted from doing the Rangitoto swim. I can't see me being able to effectively double my speed to finish in a respectable time. Penny is almost at the 20 mins per km target while I struggle with an almost impenetrable time of 35. Consolation is I think swimming is boring anyway. (unless black fins suddenly appear of course) the view is always the same, wet. I'll be joining my running mate Alan on the Corporate Challenge fun run soon where we can both hobble over the 5 k him after falling off the garage roof and I with the tiny residual of my tendon strain.
well bedtime calls so till next time then.
