A wee four and a half hour toddle today
Bit of a clear my head ride (shouldn’t have taken that long, surely)
The sun was shining, short sleeves and Steptoe gloves were called for!
Toddled along taking in the sights, sound and smells on such a lovely day.
Stopped briefly at Duthie Park for a sandwich and coffee, remembered to “take away” this time and parked myself on a quiet bench in the sunshine, away from the cafe, (which resembles a giant nursery during the day, the noise is unbelievable)
Confession time - I’m coming to the end of a trying period in my life. Hooray
Been off work a while, the childhood trauma I buried so long finally came to get me a few weeks ago “big time”, always knew it would. (Flipped my lid a wee bit)
Anyway I’ve got some help, dealt with it (hard work) and I survived.
I kept it a secret for a long time through (misplaced) shame. Know now I shouldn’t have.
Mr M and friends have been great
Also, very sad news, our neighbour passed away this week (on our wedding anniversary).
He was 87 and been fading in front of my eyes for weeks. Street won’t be same without him.
He told his wife, “tell (Mrs M) she was my chum”. Never forget that.
Anyway, apologies for posting doom and gloom.
On a more positive note, as we know, cycling does help so much, helps put things in perspective and lift our mood.
I may have gone”a bit weird today” lol but know the old sayings, life’s too short, grab it while you can, etc. make perfect sense now.
My new bike was a wee prezzie to myself for graduating from the “misery”.
Only 2 pics today, a three ball teeing off at Deeside golf club (very posh) and my new lovely new bike in front of the river Dee, overlooking Cleopatras needle in Duthie Park.
Hope you all had a lovely day, xxx
hopefully onwards and upward
Thank you
