Me again

It just goes to show how cycling can fill your life. When I was cycling, you got a fact-filled post every day, but now...tumbleweed. I haven't been doing nothing (is that a double negative? I don't think so.), but most of what I have been doing has revolved around catching up with all the stuff that I didn't do when I was away enjoying myself.

We have a big garden. I don't enjoy gardening. Worse than that, our big garden consists of a mixture of granite, marble, bracken and what we laughingly call the lawn, but what you and your friends would call a field. Just to make absolutely certain that not one iota of fun can be obtained while working in the garden, this seems to be an especially good year for horseflies.

On the much-missed nature table, something which is puzzling me. Last night, when out cycling, I saw a dead badger beside the road. Although it's a quiet road, badgers have very poor eye-sight, so quite likely it was hit by a car. This morning, while out walking, on the other side of the ride, another dead badger. What do you think?

Finally, and I don't know why I'm telling you this, I am actually doing something revenue-earning tomorrow. One of my former customers is paying me to take the train to London, plus my time, plus a free lunch so as to sort out his laptop. I did tell him there were probably people locally who could do it more cheaply and he said those magic words that all self-employed love to hear: "Money is not an issue".

Back to my war on bracken, but I'll leave you with this photo of why I just love living here:
