Well that was a belter of a weekend. Sunkissed and very relaxing. Weekends off are for the win!

What’s not for the win is the vile workout that you guys have in store for tomorrow, a repeat and one which caused a fair amount of discomfort. It definitely does not feel like a relaxing dog walk, followed by a cocktail in a wood burning hot tub!
