Birthday Month

Well we are well and truly into birthday month now and things are going crazy. We have been busy every weekend for the last 3 and the first Sunday we have free will be the 27th of October. Always look at the positive side so this is possibly the best training I have ever had for the upcoming festive season for which plans are already being made.

We have been doing alot of work on the house, well outside of the house as we prepare the front yard for the planting of out turf. This sounds easy well it entailed the breaking up of a good few inches of clay which has been baking under the hot Aussie sun with no sign of rain for a while now. Really was back breaking work though will look fantastic once the new lawn is in.

The birthday fast approaching also means that the Brisbane to Gold Coast 100km cycle also looms large 2 weeks away. I have been pounding the pedals in the gym and on the road and tomorrow will be the acid test when Thommo and I do a 60km ride on the coast. After this we will have an idea as to just how good or bad the 7th of October will be.

I will update this once we have decided on exactly what the birthday celebrations will be, at this point we are thinking of perhaps a croquet or backyard cricket afternoon followed by refreshments and a bbq. Willows has been kind enough to supply the Yakka juice recipe which I will unleash onto Australia on my birthday, this is the first step before the debut of the pothole-scheduled for early December....... Can't wait.
