Fancy a bite of lunch?

Posted on by May 25, 2015

Only a brief cycle away……..

So we aimed to go to Allerthorpe Lakeside Park for a bite to eat. Then we got carried away.

After Scampi and Chips, chocolate cake and tea we felt the need for wine. Cue our mammoth cycle.

Twenty five miles later, we have sore asses, wobbly legs, Mr Fogg is a Soprano and we have a much deserved bottle of wine.

Plus we managed to weed the garden and cut the hedge.

That’s 36 miles since buying our shiny new toys on Saturday.

It’s easier than jogging that’s for sure. Off back to work for a rest now.

How fit are we??

Wow!

11mile walk
One full breakfast
10 mile bike ride back
One pub stop for refreshments

One tired Mr Fogg. Seems to have lost all his energy and wasted away!

I thought I’d better help him get off the cycle.

Wheely Good

Yup it’s a Saturday (hurrah), time for a sleep in past 5.30am right, err wrong.

We have had our trusty Halfords Apollo mountain bikes for over 10 years now. These beasts were forged from cast iron and could withstand a tank rolling over them, not exactly making them the lightest things in the world. So decision made, old bikes to the skip and in with something we can ride (my how times have changed, 24 speed with hydraulic disk brakes).

How do you collect said bikes without a bike rack? Trust Mrs Fogg, let’s walk the 9 miles along the canal then cycle back the 7 miles! Ok then starting at 6am on a rest day!

See you in 10 hours then.

Meteor BBQ

Posted on by May 16, 2015

Righty ho kiddies, time to arrange the Summer Meteor BBQ during August, clear skies, telescope, dress up theme and food, food and more food.

We went to a Weber BBQ event this week and quite clearly were the new kids, sitting near the back since the seasoned pros grabbed the hot front seats where all the samples were sent. Note to self arrive early next time!

However we have a doofer that will allow us to cook a Beer Can Chicken in the BBQ and better than that, for our August Meteor Shower BBQ, we got a spit roast rotor, so this time the treat is gonna be pulled pork spit roasted on the BBQ, you lucky, lucky people.

Come on then, dates please

Nope, we’d never heard of it either. Mr Caddyfrog decided to take us on a magical mystery tour here.

Ace fish and chips and fun day.

What muscles?

Posted on by April 19, 2015

Yesterday we finished painting the fences (well Mr Fogg did with his new toy – a fence spray gun). It took half the time of a traditional brush and looks fab.

Mr Fogg also painted the posh lean to- looks fantastic now, ready for BBQ season.

I’ve weeded, mulched and cut stuff as part of the garden tidy so it’s looking nice for summer.

Only problem is that this morning my muscles are hurting. Ah yes that’s right, it’s because I don’t have any!

This week I also restarted the 30 day squat challenge. Hoping for a rest day today (you tend to do 3 days of squats then rest one) I turned on my little phone app (ok geek here) to find I need to do 60 squats today.

That’s when I finally get out of bed of course….so I may just stay under the duvet.
