October 1st – With autumn really bearing down on me now, no choice but to embrace it. I went out on a really very grey afternoon with a strong wind and a heavy heart. I went to visit a new cafe I’d found, and despite arriving well within stated opening hours, they were no longer serving.

Some businesses confound me.

Heading out to Canwell and Hints though, the season was setting the hedgerows and trees ablaze, the scenery was fighting to show it’s beauty through the gloom and it was hard to be down.

So I just rode on and really, really enjoyed it.

August 2nd – Coming through Shelfield on my way home, my attention was snagged by the sound of an engine being over-revved. In the distance, I saw the snap of a large Transit hand coming fast in the opposite direction. Sensing the danger, I pulled up. The driver was driving so fast that when he crossed the speed bump near the Four Crosses Junction, there was a loud bang as the vehicle grounded.

I can only assume he was late for tea. Such speed is unnecessary on such residential roads. I’m looking on Darwinism to sort this one out.
