1st day of relaxing.

Today was a relaxing day. We got up early at 7am and watched a beautiful sunrise. It looked like it was set to be a really hot day but a strong breeze kept the temperature at around 22°c for the best part of the day.
After a few coffees and Wanda toasties for breakfast I headed out on my bike for a 26km ride towards the mountains.
What I thought was going to be a relatively easy ride turned out to be anything but with some super steep gradients of 16% going up and I even had a 22% gradient going down where I actually had to get off the bike because I was to scared to stay on it.
530 meters of climbing over 26km off road is a lot by anyone’s standards, this was a hard ride.
I got back to the house around midday and got straight in the pool to cool off.
Once I was dressed in normal clothes we decided to head out in Ellie’s dad’s car to get some shopping but as soon as we opened the doors we were greeted with the disgusting smell of rat piss.
This is the second time they have gotten into this brand new car through the engine bay and actually into the car. They had even gotten into the boot and eaten the shopping bags.
Fortunately we had our own bags in Wanda but driving to Aldi we both felt sick. Even with the windows open we were gagging.
Once the shopping was done it was around 4pm and we just chilled for the rest of the day. Tomorrow will be car cleaning day.Read more
