Well, what a weekend. As previously mentioned, Andy fell ill - we thought he may have overdone it on the run, but doubts grew when by Friday afternoon I was starting to feel a little ill myself. I got home and decided to take it relatively easy during the weekend. In order to cheer Andy up though, I dragged him to a store on Friday evening where he made a new friend : Nike Air Pegaus. To be precise... these :
Myself - I've been looking for a pair as well, but the purple and pink colours didn't really suit me... so I opted for these :
So off to home we went, where we lay like a pair of old socks, feeling sorry for ourselves, but not too much ;)
Saturday and Sunday were spent getting better - with the help of some delicious pancakes (with strawberries and peaches) made from a recipe Jeff shared with me. They were SO incredibly good that we had them on Saturday morning and Sunday morning... and if we could, we probably would have had them this morning as well.
This morning I wasn't sure that I should go to work, but I made it there and the day turned out to be pretty productive. After work though, I found the experience of my first winter in DST a little odd. Coming to work in the dark of the night isn't something I'm used to and I sure didn't think it would arrive so soon. :)
I got on my bike an hour after supper, but not before loading my iPod shuffle with some music that I LOVE. As I sat on the bike, I didn't notice the time much - I was trying to sing along to the music, which is the reason that I think nobody dared to knock on our door. I'm actually quite surprised - the kids in the village seem to have skipped our street, and there are no kids on our street either!
Right now I feel pretty good. I think my bout of illness has left the building and with any luck, it ain't coming back.
it's the pancakes, i tell ya!
Spooky!
I went cycling after work on Halloween too. I saw a few people dressed up and walking the streets, and some kids shouted a "Happy Halloween" to me as I was cycling past, but nobody knocked on my door all night.
Glad to hear that you're feeling better. Hopefully that's the end of it. :-)
