Another day of sleeping in. I vaguely remember sleeping in as a teenager. I didn't actually sleep, mostly. I tended to get myself a good novel, curl up in bed, and stay there until some time in the early afternoon when hunger would drive me out into the real world, seeking breakfast and perhaps even some sunshine.
My niece stayed in bed until about 2pm. I was pretty impressed. We slept until about 9ish, and blamed that on daylight saving. Heh.
We didn't have many plans for the day, and I see no reason to chuck a happily hibernating teenager out of bed if we have nowhere to be, so when she finally emerged we fed her, and threw her on a bike.
Unfortunately for her, Canberra can be a bit... thingy... in the spring. Apparently it's not a nice place to be if you have hayfever. Or asthma. She had an asthma attack about half way round the lake, despite our very easy pace on the bikes. We'd been riding for about 25 minutes at that stage. So, pollen + slightly asthmatic lungs = near death experience. Not cool! Thank goodness for my happy purchase of a bike rack, I rode home in 11 minutes flat (I told you we'd been riding slowly! LOL) and grabbed the car, and did my best Squeaking Knight in Shining Armour impression. Hooray!
Another day with no purchases, though it was pretty easy considering we spent half the day just chilling at home. Nice.
Day 3: Success! :)
