Busy Weekend

This weekend has been quite busy.  Just as well we've had a couple of extra days for Easter.  Friday I was dog-sitting for Abbie and Nigel as they went to London for the night.  Saturday I was helping my parents clean out their garage and take things to the tip, and today I went over to the folks' place again, this time for Easter dinner.  We were all expecting a roast, but we actually had turkey bolognese.  When mum told me what she was planning to cook, I laughed and said it made me think of Bridget Jones' mother and her turkey curry buffets.  She looked quite indignant and replied that was exactly what my sister had said.  It was quite nice anyway.

This morning I climed up Pen Y Fan, which is a small mountain in Brecon, about 45 minutes away from where I live.  It's part of my preparations for entering the Six Peaks Challenge (which I was supposed to enter last year, but dropped out from as I didn't train enough and was blatently not up to it).  I was supposed to be going up there with two other people, but one had to cancel last night, and I'm not sure what happened to the other - I was a bit late and he'd either already headed off or not turned up.  I didn't see him at all so I don't know (and I don't have his phone number).

Anyway, going up on my own wasn't too bad.  At least I got to make good use of my iPod.  I took some photos with my phone because I don't think anyone will believe I went up there by myself.  Especially at 7:30am (was supposed to be 7:00, but everyone knows I'm always late).
