Well I managed one nice thing! 35km bike ride to my favourite tree and back. I think I am slowly improving at hills, but there’s quite a bit of the way to go.

As for the other four – not so much. I did make a rather nice beef stew with parsley dumplings, a batch of chicken stock and knocked a bunch of ironing of the list. All very good, but not entirely what I had in mind when I promised to do five nice things!

Maybe I’ll try for one a day. With the week coming up, I think I’ll need it.
