Pancakes, Hector and the Search for Happiness & 13.8 km Afternoon Bike Ride

Given that we had enough ingredients and that Alastair really likes them, and that he will be away in Mexico for a week - I decided to make Swedish style pancakes for brunch.

I spent the early afternoon watching: Hector and the search for happiness whilst waiting for the weather to get better.
The movie is about a psychiatrist searches the globe to find the secret of happiness - and below are some of his notes from the trip:

It had a slow start, but as it sounded promising so I decided to give it some slack until Hector started travelling. It was well worth it and an interesting film after all. Recommended for a rainy afternoon.

My Friend David Malcolm had set me a challenge to cycle at least 10k. So Alastair and I cycled along the old railway line to Bethesda for a beer at the Tap House and a late afternoon lunch at Cafe DeLuxe.

3.4 km Afternoon walk & 2x 2.3 km Evening bike ride

Needed to go to Giant and buy cheese, but had about an hour free - so made a walk of it.

In the evening we were invited to Eliana and Carlos. Debating how to get there we finally settled on Metro + Bicycle. So we took the Metro to Grosvenor and cycled from there.

My friend David Malcolm commented that this was not much exercise, but then that was not the point - it clearly states "Bike ride Transport". However = he has now challenged me to do 10 km tomorrow. Perhaps I take Alastair out for lunch somewhere 5 km away - let's see.

The evening was very nice with great grilled meet and interesting"Swedish" wine, bought on their road-trip down through New York State.

It was great to catch up with Eliana and as both Carlos and Alastair are in Mexico next week, we might meet up one day.
