Still no beans

After a promising couple of hours, labour was averted for the next little while. Perhaps it was the fact that E woke up with diarrhoea and vomiting that discouraged J from continuing to labour. But like Contador gapping his own teammate Kloden in the tour last night, and noone doubting that he is going to go on and win the tour, J's contractions can only be held off for so long...

Cadel continues to endear himself to his fans.

July is Waning

Late july. Riding is low on the lost of priorities. Still doing "Les deux boulevards" to keep my legs supple and my affect in equilibrium. Had an outing to the track on sunday for the "roast" and was well and truly roasted, just to prove that riding at an easy pace does little to keep your top end in any sort of order. Internet has replaced actual riding- following the Tour, buying small parts for the bike (in lieu of buying big things).

Euan is getting a "chain bike" when the new baby comes. I am pretty exctied to see how he goes on it. If the First Bike is anything to go by, he will be like a duck in water.

Two days overdue. Don't know if it is a boy or girl. Will soon.
