This summer is special because in early June we had a baby and that is going to make this summer unlike any of the summers that I have lived until now. Fatherhood opens up a new world to explore and even more in the summer months, when I’m more active and feel like doing more things. However, I’ll have to combine that with the broadcasts that I’ve agreed to do it and, if I can, with some other things. We’ll spend some days on holiday in Tarragona and some in Canet de Mar, in my parents’ and in-laws’ houses. We’re very active and even though we like to relax, go to the beach and potter around, we also like to go for walks, go kayaking in Siurana reservoir and go cycling on a green route. But we’ll have to leave these things for later on and adapt the activities that we do this summer to the baby. It’s too early to put him in a baby seat on a bicycle and go for a ride. We don’t yet know exactly what we’re going to do; everything is new to us and we want to explore things at our own pace. I have a number of broadcasts scheduled as a speaker at the U23 Banyoles ETU Triathlon the last weekend in July and a run race in August. We’ll take advantage of these places, which are not too far away, to do some sightseeing, because I usually go on this type of trips alone and in the summer I try to go with my partner and this year with the baby too. I don’t have any book that I’ve been waiting to read but I do have two videos to edit. I like to shoot them but I can’t seem to find the time I need to finish them and I still have to work on one from our honeymoon and another one. I’ll spend my free time getting on with that since I’ve put it off for too long. It’s going to be a summer of transition in our lives; we’ve always liked to go on active holidays to faraway places and we know that we won’t be able to do that for some time. Now we have to joyfully adapt to the world of parenthood and focus on the things we can do together with the baby.
