Friday was such a beautifully sunny day, something that we haven't really experienced much here in Wales over the summer. Apparently, this has been the wettest summer for over a 100 years! The Olympics and Paralymics, however, did manage to bring us some sunshine! Friday was my rest day off the bike, so instead I headed out with Hendrix for a walk and waw, the views were awesome! I know I've lived here all my life and sometimes you dislike the place because it's sooooo far from everywhere else, but on days like these you seem to forget about that and just enjoy the birds singing and the sun shine!
After our walk it was time to head over to a friends house for supper. He had invited some friends over before we all leave for uni. It was nice just to relax and laugh with friends over a nice plate of curry and a couple of drinks!
I arrived home Saturday morning, had a shower, and I was soon out of the door again! My dad was filming a wedding and my brother was working so mam and I headed over to the Daffodil restaurant in Penrhywllan. Saturday was the same or even hotter than Friday! We were able to eat our lunch out on the decking looking out over the green hills and trees! Beautiful! Once we finished our food we headed to Aberaeron for some pudding! I had a coffee frappe and a piece of butterscotch drizzle cake! We ate our pudding whilst sitting on the harbour wall looking out at the crazily calm sea! For the whole summer I haven't seen it so still and calm! Quite relaxing actually! Saturday night saw the return of the fantastic comedy The Thick Of It and some more memorable moments from the Paralympic and London 2012 games.
Sunday. I really enjoy Sunday's. It's the kind of day when you can go for a 20 + mile cycle and then chillax for the rest of the day. Yesterday, I had planned on going on the bike but it was so windy and I didn't fee; 100% it just wouldn't have been fun. Instead I went for a 3 and a half mile walk with Hendrix and mam. This is another thing I like about Sundays is that you can finish a 3 mile walk in 2 and a half hours and not feel guilty or having to rush to get ready to do something else! The reason for the marathon time was that we were also collecting blackberries and that takes forever! We had a poopie bag full of berries which we used to bake a blackberry crumble later in the afternoon. Yuuumie! Sunday night saw the end of an amazing summer of sport with the awesome closing ceremony of the Paralympic games. What an inspirational couple of months. The french film 'Heartbreaker' was on BBC Four when I went to bed (one of my favourite films!), a lush end to a relaxing day!
