Whilst Mr W headed out this morning to run the High Barnet branch of the Northern Line and our friends, Matt and Angela, went out to do some cycle training for a half-Ironman they're doing later in the year, I stayed at home with the animals. After several attempts I finally managed to take a photo with both kittens actually looking at the camera - Fitzroy is the ginger one and Cromarty is the tabby.

Today we hired bikes and cycled across the Golden Gate Bridge. Not nearly as scary or as difficult as I thought it would be - the hardest bit was the hill up to bridge level!

Today was the first time that I'd seen one of Boris's bikes being used since their launch a couple of weeks ago and after having walked miles around central London this evening I was beginning to think maybe I should get myself registered to use them.

We're doing a triathlon in Bexhill in a couple of weeks and so this morning we went along for a practice session organised by the race organisers. It was a good morning other than the fact that I cycled rather more than I needed to after I followed the wrong cyclists - they were on their way to Bognor, fortunately I found this out at Pevensey Bay otherwise I would have had a very long and lonely cycle back!

These are my father-in-law's shoes and these are the reason that we cycled 26 miles there and back to the other side of Croydon this afternoon.  You see the thing is he left them behind after we were all visiting my parents in Weymouth the other weekend and because we left later we got to bring them back up to London, then somewhere along the line I had a bright idea that we could return them by bike... Me and my bright ideas, my elephant-hunting weary legs are even more weary and now my posterior hurts as well!
