a quiet weekend that wasn't

All indications for the weekend that just past were: quiet and relaxing. It was anything but (quiet). I had to do the usual chores like washing my work clothes (and ironing them), and I had birthday drinks to attend on Sunday night. I also had a car to wash. There should have been plenty of time to do the 'other stuff' I needed to get done. Stuff like reviewing my Super options (thanks to my new job), sort out my tax, clean up my room (my desk is swamped, yet again) and make a real go at sorting out my holiday photos so I can finish my write-up on the holiday itself.

I only managed to half-finish one of my 'unexpected' chores. I was asked unexpectedly to mow the lawn, but I only managed the front half of the house. The backyard will have to wait till another sunny weekend.

At least I got to fit in some riding. I think it's safe to say that 95% of my mojo is back. Certainly for the faster bits of riding. I think I should invest in some knee-sliders. The other 5% of my mojo are those elusive slow-riding skills that I still suck at. But since I ride as a hobby, and I don't actually commute, it's not a big issue. It's something that I should work-on, never-the-less.

Hopefully next weekend will turn out to be a quiet one. I hate having too many things on my plate and letting them slip for too long.
