Hello world!!
London has been experiencing a strange heat wave. It has been high 20s (C) for the last week and I am LOVING it!!
It is strange how some heat and sunshine makes everything different. The streets, parks, buildings and sky is totally transformed. Everyone’s spirits are lifted and smiles appear on faces. If I lose myself for a moment, it is easy to imagine that I am abroad. Even as I write this post, the window is open behind me, with a warm breeze blowing in. Why can’t it always be like this?

We have been to 3 BBQs this weekend and boy have I caught the bug again! Image may be NSFW.

I have had a great weekend of good food, good company and lots of cycling. Mrs Scot and I ventured on a peaceful 6 mile cycle up a canal yesterday and another along the Thames today. London really is pretty in the sunshine. Not only is the cycling a great way to bond, but we are getting good exercise; or really justifying the lavish food! Image may be NSFW.

NOT to mention a great meal of Haggis last night (missing my roots) Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. Has anyone tried Haggis?
I was given a £50 voucher for John Lewis recently (an upmarket dept. store) which can also be redeemed at their (upmarket) grocery store. We would not normally shop in such an overpriced (actually never), but we treated ourselves to some nice desert, cheese and oatcakes. We have had such a chilled out weekend!
Our honeymoon / holiday is also just around the corner; NEXT weekend!! Image may be NSFW.

That’s right – in 6 days time we are flying off to Roatan – an island in the carribean which belongs to Honduras. Two weeks of diving with Sharks, Dolphins and exploring the unknown. I can’t begin to describe how much we are both looking forward to it! Mentally, I am already there, so this week at work is going to DRAAAAGGGG!!
The amazing adventure will certainly give me some inspiration for summer posts.
Adding to the fitness front, I have been training for the JP Morgan London run. It is 5.6KM long – I am aiming to do it as close to 25 minutes as possible. I did it in 28 mintes 10 seconds on Friday, so I will possible attempt to break that tomorrow afternoon. I am not the biggest fan of running, but it should be fun on the day!
Reader Question:
What is your dream holiday vacation and what would you do there?
Mine might well be Roatan – I would choose a place that is quiet, under-developed and free from ‘standard’ tourists. A place where the local culture is apparent and the sun shines brightly. The sand is white and the water crystal clear and teaming with fish. To me, this is paradise!! Image may be NSFW.
