I decided to learn to cycle, because I hadn't cycled properly in over 10 years, and tend to fall off the bike every time I try.

It was a success! I only managed to do about a mile and was nearly crying with the pain in my @rse after, but it was still a success! Methinks I'll be stealing my little sister's bike for a few weeks and building up that distance.

Also, I nicked my little sister's Ireland jersey and my grandmother insisted I needed beers for the match tonight and, despite never drinking in her entire life, she had a load of Bud in her house and gave me several bottles.

I also woke up to find my sister had cooked me a nice breakfast. What a success of a day so far!

I found it more scary than fun! Kept worrying that I'd fall over or crash into a railing in the place I was cycling. Kind of exhilirating, though!

cycling somewhere with loads of traffic or whatever sounds scary but off somewhere scenic sounds fun!

There isn't really anywhere scenic where I live, unfortunately. There is one really big park, but there are lakes and stuff all around it and I don't feel confident enough to not fall in while cycling!

Might drag the bike up to Galway and cycle my hangover off in a few weeks

Wish I had someone to watch the match with, don't fancy going to the pub alone and none of my friends would be into it

He really does have poor personal hygiene.

That's the best you can come up with....Really?....REALLY?!



Not that I ever have to explain myself to people who don't know me - g'wan then..... Sunday is the only day I get to see my aul man (he works 12 hour days, 6 days a week basically)so if there is a match on - we watch it locally! And at the moment more so than usual I am needed at home - for reasons I won't divulge on a public forum!

Good enough for you?

I'm after turning on RTE2 expecting to see some footy build up, instead I'm greeted with...religion.
Arrrrgggghh!!!
I've managed to stay in all weekend, first time in frickin' ages!

I was up early (well, early-ish) this morning doing gardening stuff. Then moved some logs into the shed. And then I took the right fairing off the bike and did some mechanical stuff.

It's been a manly day.

I've peeled a mountain of carrots and potatoes because I promised to cook dinner for all my family, who came over to watch the match. Regretting it already, especially since the oven blew so I can't even cook the chicken and ham properly!

On the plus side, I'm going for a nice long bath now, followed by another bike ride until my legs scream at me.

I like this photo. Probably not a million miles from the truth either!
