Sleepy. Baked a delicious banana cake (at least I assume it will be delicious when I finally get to eat it!) and picked up Molly Cat <3

Beautiful day for a run/grovel/walk up Pinchgut Track then along Robert Ridge to Lake Angelus before heading down Speargrass Creek. It was pretty much paradise. I wished so badly that I could beam M up the mountain and that we could stay by the lake for, like, ever.

I was very concerned that I didn't quite get my money's worth yesterday so did my best today. I really cannot orienteer. Or, more precisely, I am scared of being alone, getting lost and having a panic attack in the big, slippery bush. Went very Very VERY (very very very...) slowly and it was sort of okay but I was lonely and super unconfident and so over it after hauling myself through bushes. My wrist and hand were also super super over it. I am super super over my hand. Can I have a new one like Luke Skywalker?

A bit of a ride down Struggle Street and Misery Road on the tandem with M. Actually it was pretty nice but I was tired and M was feeling a bit injured. The sunshine was lovely.

You know, gotta get your money's worth right? Yep, #1 was a disaster but now I see M's map I see there is a tag to tell me which way round the contour was that was hidden by the line to the control. Now that could really have helped. Anyway, it was okay after that. Sort of! In my slow, plodding way. Very pretty.

Bit of a wander up onto the Lewis Tops. So beautiful. I wish that we were tramping this weekend.

The rainbow is currently closed. Grump grump grump :-(

Wednesday night run with the boys, complete with lazy stops for gossiping! Those boys...
