achey breaky

Well my lungs feel like baseballs and I am swaggering about like a cowboy but just had an exhilarating ride over to a friend's house with the tag-alongs attached. When we got back youngest daughter hopped off the tandem bit of the bike, picked up her own bike and cycled off to see our neighbours. I lay at the bottom of the stairs hyperventilating. Oh to have the energy and spriteliness of my offspring. Still, one cup of tea in, am now looking forward to a ride tomorrow. If I can walk - he, he.
