Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

You are one peripatetic duck! What an interesting life. Have a great time! I'm so darned glad that the internet is truly the world wide web. And yes, I agree, a Bike Friday seems to be in order! Looking forward to hearing your world-wide adventures.

Enjoy your trips and the meetings! And how very mindful of you to not waste the ice cream - with all that cleaning, you earned it anyway
And yes - it would appear that you NEED a Bike Friday!*******************

There is no up side to housecleaning.

I found a housecleaning solution this week - my youngest daughter needs money. I need a clean house. Problem solved. First weekend that the house wasn't a disaster area on Saturday morning so I could ride without feeling guilty.
Too bad she's moving to Vancouver in a month....

Kelownagirl, maybe you can "borrow" someone else's daughter. I recruited a friend's daughter who needed money, and she's been cleaning my house biweekly for a couple of years now.

DH dogs me all the time about paying to have the house cleaned (p.s. he's one of the reasons it's such a chore), but I've gotta say that when I come home in the afternoon and the place is fresh and clean, it's worth every dime. I get to pay a reasonable rate and she gets some much-needed cash--it's a win-win. So start asking your friends if any of their kids need money.
