Great day today - it's Ethiopian New Year (2001 in the Ethiopian calendar), so I decided to organise a bake sale at work. Easy - get a few mates to bake cakes, arrange prettily on a desk and invite people to come and help themselves - leaving lovely charitable donations in the 'honesty box'. Had fabulous cakes, my friends at work really went out of their way with American Spiced Cake, Brownies, Ginger cake, Muffins, and loads more. After doing the rounds with the tea trolley this afternoon, I absolutely sold out of cake, and made a wopping £92.50. To top it off the boss made it up to £100.
A hundred pounds closer to my target of £2,000, and lots of happy cake-filled colleagues. What could be better?
On the training front though I'm far from my bike - staying with friends in North London. First day in 8 days without cycling. I'm hoping that a couple of days off the bike won't take me back to square one!
Anyway, for now Melkam Addis Amet - happy new year!
