Out And About.

[mongers]

Over the last 5 evenings I've managed to get out on the bike for an hour or two, nice to be back in countryside.

But still gets cold quick, coming back across the national park this evening, as soon as it hit 7pm, with the sun gone, it suddenly felt rather cold, had to stop and put a jumper and gillet on.

Ok, a jumper is a sweater, but what's a gillet?

IOW a vest

Is there some connection in England between wearing sweaters and jumping?

Spring is in the air, warm earlier this week then a bit cooler, but I think this weekend I may start my garden. Plant some peas as they thrive in cooler temps and get wilty as it gets warmer.

I planted peas in my garden a couple days ago. Even though early, peas do well in cooler weather so making sure I get an early start. Usually I won't plant other stuff until about mid May or later so the soil warms up along with the temps.

Good work there, KRonn, makes me feel guilty.

Yesterday evening I cycled around the SE Dorset conurbation of 400,000 people. A nice 38 mile ride embracing off-road, cycle track, old railway lines, country lanes and miles of seafront promenade. 

SO much better than actually going into the urban area itself.

You do take some long bike rides. I used to ride with a couple friends and was a good workout, but didn't go that distance. You probably ride further than that too so keep up the good work. I walk these days, at a fast pace which gets my heart rate going up a bit, so that works for me.

I did some fast walking, about 3 miles in 40 minutes and it buggered me up for about a week; too much like hard work.

First time I'd heard this reason for a flight delay: plane was struck by my lightning on inbound flight.

Also, fun as we wait for update on engineers to check plane: "Ladies and gentleman, as an update for you, unfortunately I do not have an update at this time."

It's the beginning of sailing season! I've been going to help get the boat ready for launch. Today we (re: The Captain) checked the rigging atop the mast. I held his safety line, and helped with directing him to check certain pins/rigging lines on the mast.

It was chilly on the water (~ 57F), but the sun was shining, just a handful of fluffy clouds in the sky, and I was on the water again. So worth it!

Hehe, I walk fast, a couple/few miles or so, depending how I feel. I get a good workout, get the heart rate and breathing up a bit, which is good and what I aim for.
