Sounds like you had a fantastic day celebrating. Btw congratulations!

:)

Yesterday the neighbour’s cat was playing with a dead snake in my garden.

Earlier this year in Portugal I saw a peacock showing off to loads of peahens (or female peacocks, not sure what is the correct form). First time I saw the whole peacock dance display, it was very interesting. The females are so colourful too. They were all in wildflower meadow, it was magical :)

I’m so scared to ride when it’s windy like that, I go off-road to avoid the combination strong winds + cars which really freaks me out.

Your photo is so cheery, great angle :)

Due to loads of work and back pain (still hurting, still investigating this) I wasn’t able to exercise as much as I was planning. But I had a great time going out with the folks from the cycling club. My only complain is that I’m the only female attending, why it’s so difficult to find other female cyclists…? So there, I blew my other goal of not complaining for a week! Now I feel I could complain ad nauseum about the back pain, but I won’t. I need to fix whatever is wrong with my back before I can go cycling again – had to stop with the short commuting trips as well, could not stand the pain.

Anyway, my mileage for June:
cycling 165.17
swimming 9.39

Even though I’m behind with my mileage goal I feel I’m making progress in other areas due to this. While paying more attention to my approach to exercise I was able to see that yes I can have a system and find the determination when I want to. So I’m trying to apply this enthusiasm to other areas of my life :)

Sorry didn’t realize the extend of the problem at first, how difficult it must be. I really admire you for putting so much effort to keep the relationship with your extended family going.
