Random Ride

Been out on my bike this evening. God it was lovely. A bit weird, when you meet people walking the other way and they climb up onto the hedge as you cycle past, even though you’re a whole roads-width apart. That’s the way things are at the moment, I guess.

It was great to see everything in full growth. Remember two years ago when it was still freezing cold in May and none of the trees or bushes had filled out? Not this year. With all that heat in April, and the hot weather this week, we’re almost into early Summer judging by what’s already in bloom.

Love it.

Then I got lost on the way home. What an idiot. I would like to blame it on the fact that I haven’t been out-and-about very much in the last three months, but really I just switched off my brain and biked on autopilot for about 20 minutes, missing several shortcuts back to my house in the meantime.  So now I am exhausted, overheated, dehydrated and in Philippa’s bad books because I was supposed to be back to bath Mathew. I shall make it up to her by falling asleep on the sofa soon so she doesn’t have to talk to me.
