I did it!

 My plan worked. This morning before heading out of the door to go to work I spent a little more than 15 minutes in my room. I pulled out one of the scrappy triangle kits and made up a block.
I'm delighted to have it done and hopefully I can do the same again tomorrow.
I need to take the time on my days off to prepare a few more mini kits.
It would be great if I can keep this going.

After work I got changed right away and went back out of the door for a ride on my new to me bicycle.
This model is called Apollo, but I just call her Polly.
And best of all, she is blue.
Tony found her on a local trade page. She has been very well looked after by one previous lady owner.
We picked her up yesterday morning before the grandies arrived. 
I may be able to jump around doing aerobics for an hour and I often go out walking for miles and miles and still feel fine, but I am not cycle fit! I was out of puff in no time. I think this will be good for me. 
Right, I'm off to play with EPP diamonds.

I am inspired both by your kit goals and biking enthusiasm. I need some physical activity in my life.

Well done! You are a great planner. Have fun on your new bike. I don't think I could ride one these days and always had trouble as I never owned one and was seldom allowed to ride my friends' bikes.

Goodluck with the bike......I actually liked bike riding when I was younger...... My roads are too crappy here..... I'm not that keen...... But maybe I should be again.....
