Oh dear - back from seminar! It was so much fun! Very nice group, many new experiences, lovely weather, fine dining, lovely nature in a bird‘s conservatory area! So much calmess.

Came home, household was a mess, trash from 4 days to bring out, major kitchen cleaning required, laundry mountain to do...
As for relaxation - 30 % right now!:annoyed:

Sounds like everyone had a great weekend.
Met my former room mate from uni, today. Tonorrow, her brother in law is getting married in the bog city. She was there with DH, her two children and her in-laws. Was huge fun to meet them all again. Have not seen them for 3 years.
Naturally, I took the khaki LP and one of my new dresses.

Lovely pics!
But mess at home is a huge bummer. Hope you were able to include some of the chaos producers into the cleaning process.

Silly World cycling adventures:
Trying new bike shoes.
Nice reflective hits & help when climbing hills.
Still refuse to install clipless cleats.:rolleyes:Enjoy riding flat pedal side.

Farming lore states= corn should be as high as an elephant's eye, by 4th of July.
As no elephants near, corn silk seems promising sign.:tup:(photo below, for some reason)

Obstacles, near airport runways, are painted for visibility.
These buildings stored MLS. Now, contain glidescope equipment for the ILS. (aircraft landing systems)

Update on book list, posted earlier:
a)A Confederacy of Dunces(Toole)= well written style, read more as a f***ed up play than novel
Overall = complete waste of time
b) Ready Player One(Cline)= written for 11 year old level(or very perceptive cuttlefish), skipped large portions of boring background info. & missed nothing
Overall = heard movie went different way, suggest that instead
c)This Present Darkness(Peretti)= stopped reading 1/4 way through, plot deeply uninteresting, writing style quite good
Overall = my sil would love the tormented pastor, who prays for deliverance from evil every 5 pages

Have given up on list. Reading about Captain Bluebear & mini pirates.:yahoo:

Thanks:heart:
Shimano CT5=bike shoes.

They have stiff sole, plus hidden inner shank plate (transfers power to the pedals). With panel on bottom, to unscrew/remove & attach cleats.

Can walk in them. But definitely are not designed for hiking comfort.:P
