It's a new sport!

Actually, I don't think it's a new sport at all - I'm sure I've heard of Extreme Ironing before now. But it wasn't really Extreme Ironing I did, more Extreme Housework...

The weekends are never long enough - we were determined to have a relaxing weekend this time round, but it didn't really work out, and by Sunday morning there were Too Many Things To Do And Not Enough Time. So in order to be able to do some real practising (still can't call it training), I figured out I'd have to do the housework fast. Really fast. First up 10k on the exercise bike. Quickly. Then a mile swim - which takes half an hour. I suppose I could crank the speed up a bit... Then Fast Hoovering, Manic Mopping, Quick Polishing, Sprint Supermarket Shopping, Turbo Bed Changing and Express Laundry. Phew. The trouble with housework is that once you start you see all sorts of bits that you missed... so while I'm sitting here, relatively late on Sunday evening, I can see a huge cobweb from the lamp to the shelf above the computer. Damn. I shall have to try all over again next weekend...

And today was a gloriously sunny day in South Wales - perfect for a bike ride! So did we get ourselves into our cleats and go off somewhere? Nope. We did housework.

Memo to self for next weekend: GET OUT ON THE BIKES!

Anyone know yet what the weather's going to do??!
