I've never understood the appeal of fantasy sports until I though about fantasy Tour de France. That would be awesome!!! Although, I haven't been paying enough attention the lasat year or so to actually be good at it. Still... worth thinking about for next year, especially since I have summers off.

The weather has finally been glorious for 2 whole days. I had a lazy day today First, I watched the Tour until 11:30 AM. Then, we rode a whopping 4 miles to go to the bank machine and pick up sandwiches for a picnic. I keep forgetting that the Cheese Shop is closed on Sunday and I was craving one of their many unique sandwiches. But we got some chicken pesto wraps somewhere else and rode over to the Old North Bridge and had a picnic on the lawn, under a huge tree by the visitor's center. It was busy there. There was a mobile "tea wagon" parked in the lot, which I didn't know about. I will have to try that out next week. We watched the tourists and counted about 30 cyclists who rode by, as we were eating. One was on a tandem that was recumbent in the front and regular in the second seat. I wouldn't want to be on the front of that one! We also saw a tandem with 2 adults and 2 kids; one in a seat behind the second adult and one in a trailer.
Rode home for a total of 8 miles. Then I went to the pond and read and sat in the sun for 2 hours.

My son told me that my house has been leaking through the kitchen light fixture. But I don't know if anyone is doing anything about it.

I worked all day Saturday and Sunday morning. But this afternoon I went on a hike with my research group. As with most hikes in Switzerland, the destination was a restaurant on top of a mountain. We hiked for less than 2 hours. Rain started while we ate lunch, but ended by the time we left the restaurant, and rain and thunder started again as we got to the cars. We had planned to stop for a swim on the drive home, but cancelled that.
