10 things i learnt this weekend

1.mountain biking uphill on a stony path is very hard, not very comfortable and may cause swear words to fly out of my mouth.
2. I find padded cycling shorts hysterically funny
3. cows with horns (aka bulls) that appear out of nowhere and just stare at you are rather scary.
4. I will always end up over eating on holiday.
5. I do have some Internet access where i am at the moment (notice this nice little blog post)
6. Afternoon naps can do wonders for your mood.
7. The Boyf is capable of stepping on a snake without freaking out (how does he do it?)
8. Sitting around a table for every meal is great.
9. Homemade bread is so delicious - i think i should try making my own.
10. People always seem to do things on holiday they wouldn't usually do (why is that?)

  1. Biking is hard PERIOD! I just woke up from a nap myself.. I'm in a better mood.. but still very unmotivated.

    Padded cycling shorts huh? I don't think I've ever had a chance to laugh at them

  2. Re: #10 - people do things on holiday they won't normally do because the locals will never see them again. If they did it at home, they'd never hear the end of it from friends and/or family.

  6. Holiday is the time to overeat, and do crazy things........

    Hey, you'll never see them again, right?
    Unless you give them your real name and address and invite them to visit for a weekend that turns into two years...............

  19. The padded nappy-shorts are so funny! I guess one day I will have to wear them and then ignore the giggles from passing motorists.

    And napping is the best thing ever!

  22. Yeah I dunno how they do it!! I'm not a big 'freak out' person, but I definitely won't stand still. I totally agree with you on the over eating on holidays.... why the hell do we do it??

    Afternoon naps... made in heaven!
    It's really nice eating a meal around a table with the people you love... relaxing, refreshing and social.

    And yeah... very strange that people do things on holidays they wouldn't normally do... WTF is up with that??

    (HEHE!! Padded shorts are HYSTERICAL!!!!

    No offence to those who wear it...
