Whaa hooo

Five blocks and I didn't fall off once................ whoopee......................I even remembered that the back brake was on the right handle.
You know learning to ride a bike makes me feel a little like I did when I was doing my once a year snorkeling. When the children lived at home we used to go to Parksville camping for a week every summer. Every day I would put on my prescription mask and my flippers .............................. OH and my bathing suit (it was a family camp ground). Then I would wade out until I was waist deep, put my face in the water and swim back and forth parallel to the beach. To help myself not to panic I would tell myself (in my head of course I would drown if a spoke out loud............ I know about drowning )............ "Yes your face is in the water but the snorkel goes to the air above the water ........................... Just breath normally and you will be fine............. Just breath." Bill always kept an eye on me or should I say an ear as he could hear me breathing on the beach. The next day I would go out again, only this time I would go out a little deeper and swim parallel to the beach. By the end of the week I was able to swim out over my head and I didn't have to stay parallel to the beach. Then we would go home and I would put my mask and goggles away until the next year.

I figure if I can go biking regularly I will be fine in a couple of weeks. I am in bad shape as after the 5 blocks my legs felt like jello all be it firm jello but still jello.

I am planning to do something I haven't done in 4 or 5 years .......................... bet you can't guess what ..............................
I am actually going to do some canning. Believe it or not today it will be mango chutney. Oh yah I also have to do laundry and vacuum as between the dog and the DGD the carpet is a mess.

I finished spinning my silk/merino fibre . Now to decide if I want to do some plying or spinning ......................... decisions, decisions, decisions. Which reminds me I have to make a decision about what to have for dinner. Maybe I will phone Gail and ask her what she is making for dinner.
