Other things that happened today

I am so annoyed about the burn on my leg that I forgto the two amusing
things that happened today.

First, a car came alongside (not too close) and a young lady (one of
four in the car) wound down the window and shouted "excuse me!" - I
was expecting a "didn't you know there's a psychlepath" comment, so
was rather thrown when she said "Did you buy that?", meaning the bike.
So I told her I did and she pronounced it "really cool". And off they
drove. When I passed them in traffic later the driver shouted "I want
one! I want one!"

You see, all these opportunities for adultery without having to buy the Astra
or sleeveless cardigan and you don't even respond when its offered

the ladieees :-)

Heehee... I was tying up the Dawes outside Tesco Dereham the other day,
dressed in the customary Buff and Oakleys - the Buff just in "loose"
mode. A five year old went past, Mum in tow, and announced

"Look Mummy, there's a Pirate..."

Well... I've been called worse 😉

That's a great age for good comments. The best comment I've ever had
while unicycling was when a child of similar age looked at me in
amazement and said: "He's magic."

Later I saw a girl (prolly about 8 or 9) riding along the pavement to
brownies, mum walking along behind. The girl was wearing a plastic
hat in comedy style: right on the back of her head and clearly back to
front! I felt compelled to stop and tell her how to wear it properly
(making sure mum was listening). Mum and Brown Owl also expressed
great admiration for the bike. I think they were jealous of the
mobile deck-chair aspects on such a lovely sunny evening.

Mobile deck-chair eh? What a great way to describe it! Thing is
though, were you wearing that classic bit of safety equipment, famed for
protecting your head from harm? It's amazing what a small square of
cotton, knotted at the corners, can do for your safety...

Pish and tush. I was wearing, as is my wont in the season of Warmrain, my
somewhat outdated MacOS beanie :-)
