TFI Friday

This week has been something of a shock to the system for me as I have had to work every day and for more than 8 hours on some of them! I am not sure I will ever get used to this "having a job" and certainly find it an inconvenient intrusion on my free time.


This weekend should provide ample opportunities for interesting diversion ans so far I have planned the following

Saturday

• Haircut (at the unpleasantly early time of 08:00 on Saturday)
• A trip to the tip with some cardboard
• A trip to the supermarket so that I can fall out with J in public
• Mow the lawn for the first time (a big job no doubt)
• A bike ride to try and return myself to a human state

Sunday

• Another bike ride in preparation for the big event of the day
• Big family birthday party
• Missing the Tour of Flanders

Admittedly this last point is more of a non-event than an event, but it is the first of the Belgian Classic bike races and I am looking forward to it having ridden the course last year (you can read about that here). This year I have a feeling that Tom Boonen will be able to pull something out of the bag, but it is a great race and for me really gets the cycling season into full swing. The evenings are lighter in theory it is getting warmer and soon I can even think about wearing shorts for the first time since 2006.

One good thing about working hard during the week is that you appreciate the weekend all the more...
