Our weekend pretty much began on Thursday afternoon when I finished work at my new job in the Sports & Exercise Department at the Univeristy and headed home. My parents were on their way up from Gloucestershire and were collecting Morgan from school so I was able to get home a little earlier than usual, do some chores and start cooking a delicious ‘Hungarian Paprikas Chicken’ for dinner.<\/p>\n

My parents arrived soon after, along with Morgan and Anna wasn’t far behind either. Dinner went down well, the fire was lit and we all chilled for the evening.<\/p>\n

Anna was working on Friday, but it was an inset day at school so Morgan was at home to help entertain the family. I started the day with \u00a0a bike ride around the Borth loop followed by hilly run in Borth whilst the others had breakfast and played at home. We then wandered over to the beach in a bracing and very cold wind to see how it was looking after the recent storms<\/a>. Things have settled down over there now and the car park is no longer a lake. There are still a few puddles there, but that is\u00a0nothing unusual.<\/p>\n

I then did a core workout at home whilst the others snoozed and relaxed in the living room watching the Winter Olympics. It was then time to start cooking up a yummy biryani for dinner which seemed to go down well with everyone. Morgan then headed off to archery with the cubs whilst Anna and I got ready to take the Scouts out on a night hike. We took them on the walk that we had checked out last weekend<\/a> and they all seemed to enjoy it, even if it was quite wet by the end.<\/p>\n

It was now the weekend proper, but\u00a0because of my new job\u00a0I’ve rearranged my training\u00a0schedule a little which means that Saturday is no longer a rest day. I therefore had an early start with a swim in Aberystwyth, followed by a session in the gym. Everyone else then drove into Aberystwyth as well and we met on the seafront for a stroll to inspect the damage inflicted by the recent storms<\/a>. The clear up is still underway and there is still lots of sand and shingle on the prom, but other than that, a few bits of missing railing and of course the fact that the Victorian Shelter has gone you\u00a0wouldn’t really notice much else in the way of damage.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
