This time last year, the weather was wet and miserable, as it had been for the last several years. May 2008 however is shaping up nicely with 32 degrees C in direct sunlight and the ambient thermometer reading 18 degree's C.Naturally I have taken full advantage of the glorious weather to ride Betty out to my favourite place, Moesgaard. The forest has been beautifully green with all the tree's in full bloom, and every where I've looked there have been signs of the mild winter. There have also been any number of still water pools which is odd, since it hasn't been raining that much in recent months.
I don't mind though, they are wonderfully picturesque and add much food for my wandering imaginations. There is nothing quite so inspiring as a ride through the forest listening to film soundtracks as I gasp and heave for breath. So far I've been three times this week (and I went swimming once) so I am on track again. March and April showed poor performances and I am several weeks behind on my swimming schedule.

Still pools though mean midges & mosquitoes in abundance. As a side note mosquitoes were a major issue in London after the blitz with all the stagnant water in the bomb damage and it required a massive effort to eradict the threat of disease thus posed.
Haven't seen any mosquito's as yet, but no doubt I'm moving too fast on my bike for them to get me!
Out where we live, West, rather than South of Århus, we already have mozzies.
They normally die off over winter, but there wasn't really a winter.
