Benjamin Franklin

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

And don't you forget it.

Wimps R'Us

I hate the rain, and we've certainly had plenty of it. I don't like riding in it, I don't like walking in it, so apart from the necessities of dog-walking, I've confined myself to barracks and done useful things like cataloguing my (vast) music collection. Being addicted to exercise, I have a cross-trainer, which does the job, but listening to audio books while working out in the garage is no substitute for being outside.

But today, the roads were dry and there was nothing to stop me. You forget how brilliant it is...

Sadly, the rain has returned.
