So frustrated and out of patience after having been inside for over a week now and my symptoms seem to go in circles, but mostly I'm exhausted all the time. Decide to go up to Vue-des-Alpes to see the sea of jonquils, and it truly was a sight as far as the eye could see, a see of yellow. Wonderful. Sat for a moment and just contemplated the flowers and the wonders. Only 4 weeks ago, I was skiing here under quite a bit of snow and now the ski tracks have disappeared to these fields of jonquils.
Bike very gingerly, taking the uphills easy, never the pulse over 100 and turning around when it was too much.
This was my "reward" for not being able to go to the bike-O champ on a wonderful day. I just don't want to risk pneumonia.

Such a frustrating week with a lot of it in bed or at least napping. Nursing my cold/flu and not getting much done. No energy and whatever I do, rest or activity, nothing seems to make a difference. It needs time.
Slow bike up to Sandra's house to see whether I even could do it. But I realised that there was nothing in my muscles. And I wanted to ride a bike-O race the next day? SO disappointed that I probably can't.

Ride home downhill and back to bed and napping.

I am really sick with pain in my lungs and some flu symptoms. Hurt all over and had to take some ibu.
Did an "easy" loop following the Tour du Canton race which will be again this Wednesday evening starting from Colombier, Planeyse. Lots of uphill but also quite beautiful in the canyons, up high with the view.
We have another incredible day, plain sunshine, and over 25 degrees. Spring has sprung into summer here.
