June has proven to be a fairly busy month so far.
Last weekend was the first of several highland games I'll be attending over the summer.
Last week, was Georgetown, and Tristen's first ever solo competition. He was thrilled to receive a gold medal for his efforts. Well done, T. It was also a first for me, as I am working as a steward at the games. My job is to check in the competitors before their event and keep things running smoothly and relatively on time. So far, so good.
Then this past weekend, we headed out to Cobourg. It was a chilly and early start to the day, leaving Guelph at 6:00 am as I have to be there by 8:00. I have to wear a kilt and Patti found me a pair of the heavy knee socks that go with it. I was very grateful to have those this week!
Tristen competed again and this time came in third, receiving another medal. Points are collected each time they place and are tabulated at the end of the season, so he has set himself the goal of being top in his group. But it is only his first year competing so I'm hoping he is happy with where ever he finishes.
It did warm up somewhat as the day wore on, but not nearly as warm as earlier in the week.
-----------------------------------------
I had driven up to Fergus to visit my friend Helen on Tuesday as it was over 30'. Perfect Miata weather. I had to go up to Stayner on Wednesday, and had planned to take the Miata as well, but the hot weather that was promised didn't materialize so I took the Prius. Good thing I did. Ran into rain in a couple of spots and temperatures never did get very warm. I was glad I'd taken the opportunity to go for a little run on Tuesday with the top down.
On my way to Stayner, I saw cloud formations in the sky I've not seen before. It was quite eery and when I arrived at my destination, they had experienced a major downpour just prior to my arrivel. Timing is everything!
This week will be busy as well. I've joined the local YMCA to try to deal with some hip issues. Some structured exercise classes and aqua fit should help. I've been to a couple of physio sessions and targeted exercises seem to be helping so I'm going to try to build on that. I have classes 5 mornings this week. We also have our TOPS summer BBQ on Tuesday and I'm making dessert. Good thing we all weigh in BEFORE we eat! We deserve to indulge every now and again!
Then Friday afternoon, we are heading to London to have dinner with Meghan before checking into a hotel in Leamington. There are highland games this Saturday in Kingsville. Too far a drive for early Saturday morning so we'll make a night of it. Then come back on Saturday afternoon.
Wish me luck in the morning with my first Aqua fit class 💦
P.S. Did I also mention that Saturday was Sir Paul's 80th birthday? I apparently have quite a reputation (well earned, of course) of being somewhat of a fan as several people texted me and said 'Happy Birthday Paul". They know me too well!
