To be honest, I'm a bit ticked off at the moment! Fi and I spent a sizeable chunk of Saturday morning at the local hospital while I waited to have a tick removed from my arm. I'm not sure how it got there, but I guess it was when I was Geocaching on Thursday evening. Funny thing is that I was really togged up because the weather was crappy. Another reason for feeling ticked off.
The June weather was a very wet and July has started the same way. The Rhein is really high and close to flooding in places. At least the weather seems to be semi coordinated as the weekends have been reasonably dry. Next weekend is meant to be hot, although it's a long way off.
Hopp Schweiz!! Check out the Tour de France - Fabian (Swiss) Cancelara in yellow and winning two stages out of three. Hopp Schweiz again!! Big Roger Federer (aus Basel don't you know) wins Wimbledon for a straight 5th time in a row. OK, it's a boring game but Roger is such a nice guy and much better presented than that Nadal scruff!
I just started bike training again. Again. Stevie B in Italy is organizing a team for a team time trial around Lucca in October. At the moment, fitness is absolutley rock bottom (following travelling, food poisening and a couple of crappy colds) but I'm optimistic I can shed a few kilo's and get reasonably quick before October....... Next weeks business trip to New York isn't going to help though......hmmm......Burgers!!!! What worries me most is that Stevie D will be riding and he just did a p.b. for 50 miles.
I don't like to harp on about the weather but it's really cold. Last night I was wearing thermals. It was 12°C.......in July.....it was warmer - hotter - in April. Arse!
I'm not going out tonight. I'll sit back and listen to my new "Silbermond" album (http://www.silbermond.de/) and watch the rain......or is that sleat come down!
