Cape Argus Cycle Tour



Today my hubby and I took part in the biggest cycling event in our country : 110 km in a circle route around the Cape Peninsula. Almost no wind and a temperature of 32 deg Celsius! A perfect day!! it took us 5 and a half hours to complete and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute! I know a lot of people does it much quicker, but that's my best and I am happy and my husband is very proud of me: and that is all that counts!!




This is one of my longtime UFO's I pulled out of the cupboard and started working on again. It is a quilt I started at least 3 to 4 years ago for my eldest daughter (Lindie). She turned 18 two weeks ago and thought I could maybe get this quilt done for her this year.... only one more block to do, then sashings and a border..... maybe tomorrow I could get the last block done if my shop is not too busy...

My hubby is totally hooked on a series called Boston Legal and he likes it if I watch TV with him, so I am crocheting my woolen carpet. It is coming on nicely, I am halfway almost! Thoroughly enjoying it!
