Quite a fun week actually – more to come in a weeks time. The reason being on Thursday and Friday we had our Annual Team Building / Leadership / Contact Centre training. The facilitator was a guy called Tony Brindle. He used to (still does some) do lots of Hard Core Mountaineering – with the likes of Joe Simpson and Simon Yates etc… Worked in Outward Bound etc. But it was great… there were lots of little exercises and anecdotes to get us all thinking. I’ll write more about it next week (just in case anyone from the Contact Centre actually reads this and I spoil the exercises they will have to do!)
Then last night had lots of friends over for Pizza before heading out to watch part 1 of the Banff Mountain Film Festival. It was funny.. for all the organisation etc. that I’d learned over the last couple of days – I was too busy rounding everyone up to take them across the bridges and through Mona Vale (the botanical gardens out the back of my house) to check the oven was off. 1/2 way through my friend Neil says they might have left one in the oven … so I ran back to check. Fortunately it was on a low ish heat so no major catastrophe. The ducks enjoyed eating it this morning.. or some of it anyway! (yes, this is my back garden)
Then this morning headed out biking to Godley head with Michelle and Sheb?(sp?) a friend of hers who instructs on Outward Bound. I think I am going to test myself this week and see if my back is up to a 3km run (should be I reckon) and if so will see if I can get myself onto it.. will see.. It’s something I would love to do.

Only had one fall where I didn’t manage to get out of the clip peddles.. and it was only onto grass so not too bad. I’m still feeling really unsafe! in them – but getting there.. slowly ;)
