Pinching pennies – part 2

Well , after collecting for a long time and gathering a rather large number of cion bags on my living room “fireplace” , I asked my wife to take the coins and convert them to a more manageable form of cash so I may add it to the donations .

With all the mix ups and true to form – she took the money and deposited it to her account …

Not to worry – yesterday she transfered the amount to the Dogs Trust on the just giving page – all £28.67 collected .

Just goes to show that even in small numbers , we can get to nice sums.

Cold , Snow and training

“The Song of Ice and Fire” saga keep warning the readers – “Winter is Coming” . Well Winter is here , now and in force . This make my aspiration to train a bit more challenging , I actually invested in warm riding clothes so I can ride outside in the cold – and the day after I place my order – the snow comes in and for all intent and purpose puts a dead stop on my plans.


So now I am considering to start frequenting the local gym and use their training cycles , Not as fun , and not as good and an “honest to god outside ride” – but beggars can’t be choosers , and if I want to stay ready , I must put in the Saddle time .
