just one of those mornings

Out on the bike this morning for a quick spin.  On my own this time, so no dawdling at the coffee shop.  

It was cold and windy by the lake, but I cruised up the hill to get to this bench and a bit of shelter.  A cocker spaniel stopped to chat and asked me, very nicely, to throw his hoop which he had carried in his mouth all the way up the hill.  So I did.  We did this a few times until his owner caught up.

By the time I got home I was coughing and spluttering.  Anniemay was hidden behind a pile of ironing.  She too signalled that her cough had not entirely gone.  We had a cup of coffee, a bit of a chat and by then it was lunch time.

And that was Saturday morning.
