Song of the Day: Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Distance Travelled: 18.3 Miles Sunday was the all-important day of the week for Cam: F1 race day. Consequently, I elected to do the early horse riding session to get back to the Chateau in time for the race. I haven’t been horse riding for nearly 20 years, and I’d forgotten more than I ever knew about being on a horse. After having the stirrups adjusted 3 times so I could actually get on the wee beastie, we went off on a little walk (and occasional trot) around the countryside. It being a bit muddy, there were a few hairy moments (for me only, the horse seemed completely happy if somewhat hungry), but I made it back in one, slightly bruised piece.
After the horse riding, we retreated to the chateau for the F1, where there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, for me anyway (could someone please post my driver a lucky charm of some sort?), accompanied by beers and other members of the party who were drawn into Cam and my F1 frenzy.
After a hundredweight of Pizza in the evening, everyone got down to a game of Articulate, a team game in which you have to describe an action, person, place, object or item from nature to your team without actually saying the word. There was much competitive spirit (and some team hopping – yes Cam, I mean you), and a bit more wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Hooking up the laptop, we got “Nightclub La Gorce” going in the evening, and there was much getting down and jumping around. Cam and I finally retreated to bed about 2am (no idea when the others finally gave up, but you guys rock).
