It's Friday night and we have a long weekend to look forward to with no sport this weekend and no plans for anything special. The holiday on Monday is to celebrate the Queen's birthday, but I'm pretty sure her birthday is in April. This June weekend was originally to celebrate King George's birthday, Elizabeth's father. It must suit us better here in Australia to have a long weekend in June. It certainly suits me.
Tonight I did a pump class at the gym and I just know that by Sunday I'm going to be stiff and sore. Pump is the most punishing of the classes I do and tonight I used a heavier weight that last time I went. I had to ease up a couple of times because my arms were shaking with the effort, and so were my legs with the lunges. It's been a few weeks now that I've been going to the gym, but I'm still very unfit. I just keep thinking, no pain no gain.
Carly has a friend sleeping tonight and Alex is once again pulling his bike apart in the lounge room. He's a bit like me with computers, but for him it's bikes. He's swapping his back rim and plans on having alternating silver and black spokes. To be 13 again eh?
I've been slack with the camera lately and haven't got any new photos to upload. I'll try and remedy that this weekend. Lauren has managed to wrangle a long weekend instead of working, so I imagine we'll do some family thing one day. The grandchildren have all got birthdays coming up: Riley will be 1 on June 16, Zeke is turning 3 on June 24, and Scarlett will be 1 on August 26. Both Riley and Scarlett have taken a couple of steps each too, so very soon they'll be running all over the place. They grow up so quickly. Number 4 grandchild will be along very soon too.
