Weekend

It's Sunday night and I thought I'd write about my weekend. 

Firstly + and -
Unblocked the shower.
Unblocked the bathroom sink. 
Fixed bike with Chris for Phoebe. 
Washed the BBQ.
Dryer under house. 


FRIDAY
Friday I had rowed in the morning.  Close to the crew I was to race in Saturday morning. 

Skipped coffee and drove direct and parked under Soutbank. Walked up the street to my Coraggio meeting. Feeling woefully under prepared. 

Interestingly at the end of the meeting, walked with another member as both were parked at south back. By coincidence, we ended up discovering our cars side by side. 

SATURDAY 
Winter Race #3
It was a tough row.  Not a race.  We were slow. A mix of abilities,  strengths and fitness levels.  Pymmie coxed and did a great job. His first priority (in my opinion) was to get the boat level and he managed to cajole the crew into keeping reasonable timing and consequently the boat was reasonably level. 

SATURDAY 
WRS3
Helped Andrew take Tim's trailer to the dump. 
Cleared the blockage from the bathroom sink. So slimey. Tough with very strong hair. Had to totally dismantle the s bend and the drain bit on the sink. 
Uke death squad at the "Cro Bar" in the Valley.  Think it used to be "the zoo".
Taxi home. 

SUNDAY 
Fish shopping. 
Fixed shower. 
Worked with Chris to fix a bike for Phoebe.
