Then, listening to the story the scientist was regaling on the radio, I heard the throw away comment of a twelve hundred mile bike ride. There was no detail, I suspect the scientist cycled with friends, stopping nights in comfortable rural hotels. Are there always enough hotels? I would like to go on a ride today as I am feeling alone, then.
A beautifully told story, it must be said. It must be read, it must. Here in this space we read and today I felt like I was going to get through it without too much disaster. Trying to do the things they suggest, to follow the guidelines, which is so tricky as the guidelines are not quite what I want to do. But they work, I have seen them work. Beautifully.
