Sunday...bloody Sunday

Mother's Day ? What a pain in the backside that was. Beautiful sunny day, dry, no wind, the perfect day to go for a ride...except I'm stuck in the car with the g/f to put in an appearance at the family home.

Every time a bike went shooting past I was staring longingly after them, turning green with jealousy, wishing I was out riding too. It looked like a lot of fun, most bikes I've seen on the road this year.

By the time I got back home it was too cold, dark and too late to go for a run on the bike. I think I've wasted the best day of the year so far Sad

It wasn't a complete waste though - brownie points in the girlfriend account soon add up, and can be used to tip discussions in your favour Smile

I was out for most of the day on the bike Razz

But seriously it was still very cold, particularly in the afternoon. Just wait for the summer. Long Sundays spent riding long into the evening, covering too many miles and having too much fun. Sunday morning blasts down to the coast, fry up and home. Ah, can't wait Thumbs Up

Two full days off and only 6 hours of classes ? I had to miss all my afternoon classes and labs to get a week like that. Mind you, I did get a grant cheque from the government so it wasn't all bad.

I have the petrol money, just don't have the time. I think my longest ride has been about 30 miles due to L-plates and lack of imagination...so nipping up to Crianlarich sounds a little daunting, especially as my bike's not the fastest thing on two wheels, but what do you expect for a 125).

Final year: At the moment, I have six hours of lectures a week. Add two hours of tutorials to that. Five of those hours are on Monday. On Tuesday there is one hour, on Thursday two.

I have no taught time on Wednesdays or Fridays. I still have pooloads of work to be doing though. Taught time is the easy part.

Final year projects really take the piss with workload, especially when you leave half the work till the last month. Neutral
