What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Well, I'll tell you, Heather: The weather was really nice so Claud and I went on a ride to the Offords - two villages a couple or so miles from where we live. The road was mainly flat and traffic was light so cycling wasn't too bad.
It didn't take us long to reach our destination so we explored the Offords before deciding to push further on to Buckden - another village a couple of miles away. By the time we arrived at Buckden, it was getting on lunchtime and I was starting to get hungry. That didn't stop us from following a walking path back to the Offords across a couple of weirs.
We stopped for lunch at a pub called The 'Shoe in Offord D'Arcy which served up a mean Sunday roast: a steadfast British institution and a long-standing British custom. A scrumptious book completed the meal; all washed down with tea. I couldn't have asked for more but a cycle home with a full stomach and the sun on my back.
Looking on the map, Buckden isn't really that far from Grafham Water and I know there is a cycle path around the lake from the couple of occasions I've been. So note to self: 1. must go sometime, 2. must bring friends ± bikes and 3. must introduce pub.

Other achievements include laundry, cleaning the living room, shopping for groceries and preparing lunch for tomorrow - all that before dinner. Boom!
Heather would indeed be proud.
