- Was meant to go back up to visit the museum, but didn't - last minute (Friday night) cancellation;
- Was going to cook duck - in fact, took it out of the freezer, but decided it would not thaw in time & so put it back again;
- Went to Aldi, to do some shopping & to pick up some turkey legs. But they didn't have any, so bought lamb shanks instead;
- Then went mad cooking up a lot of food - even though there was not anyone coming to share it. Made a lamb shank in tomato base, with the additional of capsicum & mushrooms. Also did a rather nice spicy (preserved lemons, etc) brown lentil dish, with bacon & potatoes. The idea being that I could put cous-cous on the plate, cover in tomato mix & have the lentils on the side. Except that I had no dinner guests; and,
- Also drank a lot of wine!
After all that, I went over to visit Felix, to watch the last mountain stage of the TdF & drink wine - was a bit misbehaved :(
Anyway, the last/final/only climb did a lot more damage to Allaphillipe, Porte, etc. Indeed, there was a significant reshuffle of the top three (3) placings. Nibali won & rather convincingly, too!
Sunday awoke with a rather severe headache, so really got absolutely nothing done - typically, it was a good day for cycling. Actually, spent a lot of time in bed, dozing off, etc.
Then struggled to get up & moving on Monday morning - woke up at 6, watched the presentation & then rolled over & went back to sleep! Again, a good, still morning for riding, but just could not get moving - indeed, have walked out without shaving, etc. which will be a bit embarrassing - especially as, realistically, I could have managed it ...
<sigh>
