Biker bum

My arse is in bits - got a fair way round the island today and it hurts to sit. The bike is nice but I need padded pants. must have done 14-16 miles or more all told. Mucking marvellous.

Biker bike boy

To get out of my usual mind-set and framework, I purchased a bike. The bike is good. It gets me out of my normal environment. I saw a place today I would have never known about had I not jumped on a bike and rode (unwittingly) to it. On the down side I saw some bloke having a piss in a bush. Not pleasant, but it strengthens the resolve in certain ways.

The area around the monastery may well yield some interesting sights from the perspective of a bike-riding monk. Let's hope so!

Different Angles

I'm looking at myself a bit differently all of a sudden. I need to. I want to get my head fixed up proper-like! When will I learn? You get out of your body what you put into it. I've put too much into my body and disrupted the whole flow. I need to get right out into the countryside and clean up the muck that I carry around within me. I also need to stop dwelling on my problems. I need a new approach.

Bad

Bad stuff. The panic is back. Marks & Spencers was too much. Sound, sight and everything. I had to get out of there. I thought I'd left it behind years ago. Shit.
