For those of you wondering if the view from our front window has changed, yes it has. Unfortunately what could have been a pool in the courtyard, where I could have fixed my motorbike with my shirt off, was filled with dirt and covered in grass and now has noisy children playing on it. Hoo ra.
What have we been doing lately? We managed to get away to Tofino for the long weekend, did some surfing and did a whole lot of eating and drinking. Ah, to be twenty again. Or twenty pounds lighter. One or the other... still, Rosemary makes even a cold-water wetsuit look lovely in the sun.
The surf was a little quiet but the weather was unexpectedly beautiful, so there could be no complaining.
As a side project, over the winter I decided to join an adult gymnastics class. Once a week we throw ourselves around onto crash mats, try to walk on our hands, and generally challenge the body to do silly things. The experience has been great but has also shown me the limits of my flexibility and strength to weight ratio (ah, to be twenty again). Still, it's damn fun and a bit like being set loose in the adult version of McDonald's Playland for two hours. Did I learn anything useful? Why feast thine eyes on this...
