Inspired

We picked up Martin from the hospital this morning after another electrocardioversion. Let's hope this one worked. We had danishes and breakfast at Tre Kronor and headed to River Park, which is a big beautiful park which runs along, surprise!, the river. We rarely go there, since it's not terribly close to us, but it's close to the hospital. There are so many beautiful colors out right now, and since it was a rainy gray day, we had the park to ourselves. We walked the bird and butterfly sanctuary along the river, and we collected so many fabulous leaves. Please excuse the fact that there are no photos of Martin, which is a terrible thing, especially considering that today should be about him. He took a few with his iPhone, I didn't even carry mine with me.





We came home to hot chocolate and an email from my dad, with a video attached. So we spent some time watching some insanely good bike stunts by Danny MacAskill on YouTube. It's just what you need on a cold rainy day, when you thought you were sick and exhausted and ready to cuddle up on the couch (we are still sick, after all). But after watching these, I feel a bit more inspired, and I'm ready for a more exciting afternoon. Martin hardly gets a day off, after all, and even if it's because he had to get his heart shocked a bit, I think we should do something a bit more celebratory.



Martin has been commuting to work on his bike for the last few months. After watching this, he's thinking he needs to kick it up a notch. But hey, at least he loves his job.
