Flying and crawling

matilda36So what did I do today worth talking about ?
Went out to lunch, went to work... got myself a bus pass...
I have been living in this city for 5 years (sigh), been without a car the whole time, and only now I gave in and got myself a bus pass.
I never got it before because I love to fly. I have always loved riding a bicycle: the speed, the wind in the hair, the ability to pass for a car or a pedestrian. The freedom of coming and going whenever I want without a timetable...even the rain. When I was young and living in the countryside I used to go out riding on purpose in the summer rain. It was the closest to flying I will ever be.
I got it now because Winter looks long and cold this year and when I got up and it was pouring down for the third day in a row, I realised that there are going to be days when biking to work is going to be impossible.
Old age is looming.
