Carpe diem

Bit better sleep and a beautiful sunny morning so I decided to just get up and go for my first proper bike ride on the new bike. Bit of a struggle to get downstairs but once outside it was glorious and easy cycling (without any battery boost!) down to Portobello and along the prom. Stopped at the green van for a coffee and sat on the beach wall watching people swimming, rowing, playing beach volleyball and toddlers digging in the sand.
The cycle home would have been harder but the battery boost made it simple and I was home in no time! The carrying upstairs again a real struggle though-the walking setting didn’t help. I really need an alternative way of doing this-or start viewing it as weight training!
Showered and changed and packed for the weekend then walked down to meet CW and CMcL for lunch. Very jolly and productive and covered a lot of ground then I stayed on with CW to do some planning.
Home…lovely to walk around town without a jacket…then drove over to A&N’s. Lovely to sit on the balcony in the sun watching Paisley run around, and then watered all their pots and hanging baskets before some supper.
Lovely day, definitely good to start with some exercise.
