Work done for the day, with the sun shining, it was time to play.  Out with the winter layers, away with the skin.  Me and the (filthy) bike and the seaside loop.

After the requisite 45 minutes, all was well with the world, and at the beach the low sun reflected off sea and sand alike, blurring the lines betwixt and between, all spread out like mercury fallen beneath the sky.  One for the mind’s eye, not the camera however.

On the way back, overhead and over the hills, the clouds divided the sunlight in biblical fashion, as the winter shadows grew even longer and the afternoon temperature slowly dropped.  It all worked, me included.  All in all, it kinda rocked…

…as did the bath I had to have to warm up properly afterwards, and the leftover Tangfastics that somewhat miraculously the mob had saved for me.  Recovery food, right? 😉
