Settling Back into Life as a Married Couple

Well it is so great feeling like we're married again ! I mean, its REALLY great to have my hubby back and playing housey housey back in CPT. Jaco has dived right back into work and is very busy with Greenpoint Stadium and work for me has been busy as usual. On the cycling front, Jaco took 2 weeks off the bike to rest his knee and get a bit of beauty sleep in the mornings instead of waking up at the crack of dawn but Sunday 20 September saw the first race of the Spring season with the Tour de Worcester. We both rode and had great races although J started cramping at the end so he missed on out in the sprint but his team mate came 3rd, so that was great! I enjoyed the race in the unseeded category and finished with a good time, and it was a great indication that more training is needed for our epic CPT to JHB cycle in December. We have also started practising on our tandem and did a 120km ride to Cape Point and back on Heritage Day - our bums also told us that more training is needed indeed.

This last weekend we decided to visit J's parents farm in Piketberg cos all the beautiful flowers are out at this time of year and they were having their farmer's market on Saturday morning. Everything from milk tart, to pancakes, to fresh bunches of Protea Flowers to Springbok pies! Despite the freezing weather it was great to go around to all the stalls and taste the yummy food they had to offer. Of course spending time on the farm is always a treat since his parents always spoil us with delicious homecooked meals and there is plenty of time to read and chill. Although my time these days is taken up with studying but exams start end of Oct so I am just wishing the time away!
