Yesterday evening I rounded off a very nice weekend away in the best way; by riding the bike.  The low evening sun stitched my shadow back on, though it still resolutely refused to give me a tow up the hills.  And there were hills.  I wasn’t complaining though, other than as a token, best to do what is expected of you, gesture.  I am nothing if not predictable…  Having said that, it’s distinctly possible that the lady doth protest too much, (I know, who you callin’ a lady?!), and you’ve all seen through me.  Hills are hills, I get up them, and then I get to go down them.  It’s a trade-off I can live with 😀

Today my new wheels were supposed to turn up…and they didn’t, and I had to call them, and now they’re due tomorrow.  Not that I’m excited or anything.  Much.  I’m the one bouncing around like it’s Christmas Eve – I am such a big kid! *grin*.  Of course now I’m fretting that they won’t turn up again and I’ll have to chase them again.  It would appear I’m not just good at complaining about hills, I’ve also got worrying down to a fine art 😉  I really should learn to let things go – life’s too short, right?  In the meantime the postman did bring me two new Topeak AlienLux rear lights to replace the two that mysteriously disappeared one after the other, and a few more tubes of Nuun, so at least I had something to unwrap.  Roll on tomorrow… 😀
