Day 524: I Like to Ride

ish

I got SO WET earlier. Stormed up, soaked and buffeted. Not boofayed, proper gusted about. And then whipped up and surrounded by swirling, pummelling rain on the way home again. I was swinging between giddy giggling and being massively grateful not to be sleeping rough. Jesus, that'd be awful. If you couldn't avoid getting as wet and cold as I did, you'd be stuffed. Hmmm.

NEEEEEEEW BIKE! I bought it today. Quickly and easily. It's a Raleigh front and seat suspension hybrid with an uprightish position and masses of bounce. I can hop up kerbs, bound over sleeping policemen and generally pump it as I ride. It's ace. And I'm back to being a six-year-old. I'm playing out on my bike, all the time. The sensible option would be the purple ladybike with a rack and a stand, mudguards and a cover over the chain. I had to get this, though - a boybike with attitude. I love it. 

There's more to tell, but it can wait: you can't beat a new bike.
