Ups and downs

Despite a fabulous njght's sleep awoke still not feeling 100% well. After a slow start we decided to head to the beach anyway for some gentle kayaking. Especially gentle as the mists that looked far out to sea quickly descended upon us. A little disconcerting to keep losing sight of the shoreline but we managed not to hit any windsurfers or sail-boats.

Home for lunch and a massive siesta which seemed to go further to knocking this bug on the head. Another game of Forbidden Desert where we all died of thirst. Quenched in the pool.

Anna suggested tonight be our take-out and outdoor movie night. As we now have bikes Carl and J decided to cycle down to town to collect dinner whilst Anna and I did a small half-cycle on the river bed. All was going well until near the end one of Anna's pedals came off. At least close enough to walk home easily.

And then a phone call from the boys who needed rescuing as Carl's pedal had unbelievably also come off. Again fortunately after they had collected the food and not too far from home but still very annoying. Especially as it is the first outing of his new bike.

Ended on an up with a lovely take-out and Jonny English.

This was the end of the down bit of our river bed cycle.
