this is the outtakes from our little adventure [i do actually have all the useful footage elsewhere but genuinely thought it would not be inspirational on a monday].
anyway. we covered a chunk of the route i have no experience in and had a lot of fun doing it. i am now tired. grumpy and a bit scared.
it really drove home the true scale of this race. and just how stupid i am to be considering doing it at all.
the journey was more for my dad. as a rower - this just isn't our thing.
spectating rowing races is clean, clear, and not very involved. like horse racing.
also i have such wonky teeth. can't unsee that can you?
#nomakeup #nosleep
still happy.
i also completed this today. the blanket. it's taken 7 months, 18 balls of yarn and a lot of hand fatigue. i'm so proud it's square, has no mistake and genuinely (despite the colour choices) - looks quite good. i've not laid it so well there - but the edges are straight. i swear!
anyway.
where was i.
we're making pizza.
i'm studying and reading things i shouldn't do.
// i was reminded of a night spent sitting on a car roof eating chicken nuggets and oranges before we agreed 3am was a bit late and called it a night.
then we went to the 24 hour asda and perused the shelves before being asked to leave because we were being weird.
i never got my gnome.
what is the date again?
such fun.
