An extra hour of sleep today with the clock change was a nice start to the day. It was a cool but sunny morning so Mike & I both headed out on our bikes as soon as the chill was off the air. We usually enjoy rides together but I sadly and wisely decided to take baby steps. Mike went West to Upper Canada Village through the parkway which is a ride of 45km. I battled the biting North wind and after a prolonged effort I made the 3 km to Long Sault. After sitting for a while I decided that since the return wind was favourable I wouldn't call a cab so I started off home. I was totally spent by the end but so happy to be outside riding again.
We were both home by 11:30 so we headed over to the Wateview restaurant for brunch. With some anxiety about managing the solid food I ordered my usual bacon, eggs and toast breakfast. I was overjoyed to be able to eat real food by chewing thoroughly. At the start I gave all my bacon to Mike but then I couldn't resist and retrieved one beautiful slice. I hadn't had bacon for so long and the pleasure almost brought tears to my eyes.
Well that's the story of the "Bikes & Bacon" and for the rest of the afternoon we relaxed. Sitting out on the deck in the Sun was a real treat since it was sheltered from the North wind and that cool arctic air was so fresh that it banished any thoughts of an afternoon nap.
Cheryl returned from London exhausted at 7 pm from a weekend with her sisters on the same train that Mike left on for Montreal after his babysitting job!
