One Fine Day

Today was the first day this year that was fine enough to eat our dinner in the garden, this year, or dare I say, this summer. It was also the first time this year that I have hung my washing out to dry on the line. Earlier, we did our usual two hour Sunday morning bike turbo training session with friends and then after packing our bikes and turbo trainers back into our van, we bought a few bits in the shop and strolled across the road there and took a coffee in an Arundel café before going home. We both did a few little jobs that we had to get out of the way and were expecting the sky to cloud over as it had been doing in the afternoons lately. So, when it brightened up even more, we cleaned up the garden furniture and made ready to make the big move to an outdoor summer garden meal. It’s true that we both wore fairly warm clothes but it was a beautiful day and we meant to make the most of it. After a super relaxed meal we found that the weather was still excellent so we made another move toward restoring our summer habits. We got our best bikes out and our training bikes out of the garden shed and Steve gave them both a clean up, pumped the tyres up, and charged up my bikes electric gears. Now that we are all ready for summer training, it will probably rain tomorrow. This is England. We expect nothing, take nothing for granted. But, we are ready for the next fine day. It doesn’t take much to please us.
