Just Walking

Not living up to his bipname at all.

Thanks for the chat, and for giving me a blip - had a couple of other options, but I like the detached music-driven wandering here. And the shirt. A man after my own heart.

TFI Friday!

Whisky Fringe in the Mansfield Traquair Church, home, waiting for pizza (to hell with the attempted allergy-hunt for one night).

Better make the most of the weekend, next week I'm my boss's and a colleague's 'out of office' back-up, and been given powers of delegation. Eep! Today's work was punctuated by being asked to take photos in the afternoon of the signing of a big project, which was fun. We'll see what they think of the photos on Monday...

Completely forgot, I was sworn at by a fellow cyclist this morning!

I'm almost at work, it's sunny, I'm early, I've taken a different route to normal, so I'm happily wheeling my bike along the pavement cos it's a one-way street (Semple Street) and so it's either that or ride round a loop.

A ding sounds behind me. Bear in mind it's a massively wide pavement! Pavlovian response, I move over. Then think, and comment (very nicely, honestly, not a hint of aggression in my voice) "You shouldn't really be cycling there of course..."

"Piss off" is the monosyllabic reply. From the middle-aged woman.

She rides down the ramp where I'm going so I ponder whether the witty repartee will continue, but alas she must have gone to the public car park bit.

Surely it's just a 'bit' cheeky to ding people out of the way where you're riding somewhere illegally - even if you think pavement cycling is okay?
