It's summ...er, wint...er summer.

Weather here is ridiculously changeable at the moment - last week we had numerous contiguous days where the mercury hit 30 degrees+ [86F]. Yesterday we had flash downpours and lightning. Today started off with promise, but it's turned overcast and looks like rain again...

Last week I did some final shopping around, and ordered our mountain bikes...
A Trek 6500 for me, and a Trek 4500 for Dvora. They arrived on Friday.
I was supposed to go cycling with Adel (Canadian guy, originally from Croatia) on Saturday, but he SMSed me on Friday to say he had to work ... so I went out alone, and veered off my normal round-the-lake route to head out towards Wetzikon where there's a bike shop... It took me a while [I'm super unfit], but I got there .. walked around, bought a cheapie [12 francs] cycling computer, and headed home. Nice thing about living on the top of a 7% gradient 3km hill, is that it makes the return home all that more enjoyable :-)

Saturday afternoon we went to see our bikes, and I paid for 'em ... Yesterday I collected mine and also got a pair of cycling shoes [I got click pedals] for almost half price, and tomorrow evening I'll collect Dvoras bike.
This evening I'm going cycling [road bike] with an American chap who answered my call for a cycling partner ... tomorrow I'm going with the friends with whom we bought the MTBs - so I'll ride my MTB for the first time. YAY.

On another note - our grass has sprouted, and there is a green fluff where the lawn will be ... not unlike the fuzz on an adolescent's face... only ... greener.
