What's on your agenda for today?

Woohoo! My electric bike has arrived! But we didn't think it was coming today so hubby has gone to visit a friend. I had to help delivery guy get this massive and very heavy box up a steep, gravel driveway! Needs assembly so I'm not even going to open the box until hubby gets back.

I'm just dying to take it on a 50 mile very hilly roundtrip ride on a dry, warm, no wind day. No, you can't just sit and ride, you've always got to pedal.
 

Congrats on your bike, AS, that is very exciting. Hope the assembly is easy and you'll be happily riding up hill and down dale very soon.

I'm just waiting for a delivery of a new sofa unit, as my old one went kaput recently. So gotta move some stuff out of the way and prep a bit. Not as exciting as a new bike, but still will be fun to get a little decor happening here again. Hot sunny weather has returned so it's back to shorts, tanks and icy drinks.

Have a great day everyone.

Thanks! Bike came pretty much in one piece - huge box. But hubby is now attaching all the bits. Battery is charging so can't ride yet. Besides it is chilly and drizzly.

A new sofa is exciting too! Jealous of your hot weather!
 

I hear you, Kath. Our condo fees rose sharply last year, for what I haven't a clue! As for the rest, fiddle, fiddle, fiddling men!!!! Got the fs in there. Lol. Love men myself, just not the condo board!!
 
LOL, Shali! Falling over the sofa from too much Canuck beer!

Went for a short ride on my bike but had to use hubby's battery as mine isn't fully charged yet. Damn, that thing goes off like a rocket when the battery is on. And I was thinking it would just be helpful when going up hills, but I can see now it makes it easy to ride like a lazy b**tard!

Hee hee, Shali, not exactly falling over it after drinking too much Canadian. Just a little too much bouncy bouncy, if you catch my drift and climbing on the arms to reach high places, and my dearly departed kitty kat had a couple of paws in it too. New couch is a sectional, so nice, so big, and sooooooo comfy. So now I'm back in decor heaven for some fun with throw pillows. Hope southern tip of Vancouver Island is fun for you today. :D LOL
 
AS, glad your enjoying your bike, but hope your keeping to the speed limit and not knocking over any unsuspecting pedestrians. LOL. Now I am coveting an electric bike too.

Great news about your new bike Annie, don't get too lazy, and watch you don't become airborne :)
 
I've been craving cake for a few days. Found a box of yellow cake mix in cabinet that I forgot I had. Mashed up a couple bananas so that will be the dominant flavor. Just took it out of the oven.
 
Good day everyone.....Annie, you'll have us all checking out the electric bikes....lol, have fun and don't run over any little ole ladies with canes.

Cookie, don't forget a new area rug with the new sectional, something with lots of color is always fun.

AC, yum yum, banana cake.

I've just returned home, had to have the dog dog groomed, she's all spiffed and fluffed up.
 
Hi Jackie, so nice your doggie is groomed and fluffy. AC, I won't say no to a piece of your banana cake. LOL
Yep, I am the decorating queen today. Area rug is next. Shali, ah, gardening is so great and mucho fun too. :D
 
Haha! Not many pedestrians here, if there are they are on the sidewalk. So safe from me. ;) Took a ride to the pub after dinner. I can't believe how much power this bike has! Even up hills! I don't consider biking outdoors as part of my exercise routine. I do it for pleasure and it is much easier because of my spin bike routines and muscle work. My hubby guarantees that when we go on these very long rides that it won't be as easy as these short rides, but much, much easier than on a normal bike.

We've got a 40 mile and a 50 mile ride on our agenda in the near future. Both very hilly.
 
Well sounds like a few people got some lovely new things today..I love it when I get new things..well nice expensive new things anyway..and that doesn't happen very often..

Cookie what colour is your new sofa?

Annie, the bike sounds fab, what make is it?...are you gonna let us see a piccie? :D

Jackie ..now little pooch has had her make-over she should be renamed Princess Poochess :D


It was a glorious sunny day today..just a bit over 70 degrees F . I went shopping and picked up some more Cargo Longies and T-shirts for hubs for our holiday...and got myself a pair of mint green knee length shorts, and a gorgeous Jade coloured double layer chiffon vest top ( the latter believe it or not from the supermarket) to take away on holiday with me

I'm going back into hospital for just a day's procedure this time , only in for 24 hours but it's 3 days before I'm due to go on holiday so I had to rearrange my work rota today to accommodate that because I was supposed to be working right up until the day before I flew to Spain...

Back into work for 7.30am...and a hard day ahead with 3 staff members down tomorrow for various reasons ..so a an even more than usually tiring 12 hours !!

Still, onwards and upwards just keeping my beady eye fixed on that holiday date..and off into the sun, sea, and sand!! :cool:
 
I'm packin for our Spain trip now, haven't received my airline tickets, how did you send them by freighter?? I'll let you pick our menu while we are on holiday, Holly....:grin:
 
Sent them Via UPS Jim, they shoulda reached you by now...can't believe where they coulda got to..:confused::rolleyes:...oh I'll be happy to pick out your menu for you and mrs Jim...no hay problema senore :eek:k:

*Anxiously waiting for UPS, hands shaking in anticipation, standing next to door awaiting that familiar ding dong to signify the beginning of our adventure*

I'd love a basket on the front for easy reach for my camera, but with all those cords I don't know. I do have paniers already for the back. But I'm looking at some of the accessories.

Aye, hubby's was £500 less than mine as he got an end of season sale, but my bike has more power and has suspension which his doesn't. There was one for nearly half the price but it was also about half as good, so I figured I should get what I want. Wasn't picky about the colour so stuck with black.
