poetry in motion

Well, today proved to me, one more time, that being off work is so much more fun than being in work.

Mrs DirtMonkey and I took a day off... work, UNI, kids!!
Kids at school and granparents at the ready for evening duties.

A hearty breakfast and a short drive to our favourite bike trail in the mountains. Very cold, very wet and very slippy. Managed to ride up and above the clouds at one point. Amazing! Poor weather and numb fingers restricted any decent photo opportunities. Spent far longer than we should've done out there. Kept having to stop and marvel at the amazing Snowdian scenery, and at the sheer beauty of nature around us.

With tired limbs but a fire in our hearts, we ventured off to Liverpool at night.
Mrs DirtMonkey got up and read a couple of her poems at an open mic poetry evening. She rocked!!!! Got such a great response. The crowd laughed, pondered and cheered in all the right places. I'm so proud of her. I'm a lucky man.

The pic is Mrs DM at the mic. Not a great pic, sorry, but I was too busy listening.
