Dateline Wuxi, China, Saturday January 12, 2013

No exercise machine today.  Instead we rode our bikes all the way downtown, about two and a half hours of riding, and all the way home after dark which took as another two and a half hours.  In between going and coming we stopped at Starbucks and I had a lan mei meifan and a chicken ceasar wrat and my usual venti latte, while Ruth had her raison scone and hot water.  Then we went on to the Blue Bar where I had three rather small margaritas and a plate of fish and chips with salad.  The Blue Bar is generous with their fish pieces.  Three large deep fried pieces of fish.  A bit soft, but very tasty.Sometime during the ride I’ve also consumed a bag of Smarties and several small coffee crisp bars.  And then when we got home I had a Breezer and quite a few walnuts and macadamia nuts before we took the dog for a bike run and I picked up a large caramel machiato seriously laced with scotch.  That’s what I’m sipping right now.

All in all, a good cheater day.
