Last Gasp
What a beautiful day today. Clear, cold, still air. A pale blue sky and watery sun diffused through strips of high cloud. Calm.
I was warm in my layers, and busy with kit but my heart wasn’t in it, my mind was elsewhere and my eyes were wide with wonder.
It’s the end of Autumn and the hillsides are aglow. Every leaf that’s flying South is flushed, like a lick of flame or a misplaced petal from a bright summer bloom. Every remaining berry is fat and bursting like Satchmo’s cheeks, easily attracting the desparate attention of the birds, who will soon be hanging around the bird tables trying to look picturesque rather than needy.
Autumn is over too fast. It’s like the perfect rock song, 2m59s of crashing emotion that leaves you only wanting more when you pick yourself up off of the floor when it ends.
Winter? That’s the first side of Rush’s 2112.
it was a great day today had a wee play on the bike in Cathkin Braes but spent most of the time looking out to the campsies and beyond !
On the mend and champing at the bit to get out more !
Hos are CTC mids working for you ? mine are legendary !
It’s so good being out and about just now.
CTC’s, jeez Haven’t worn them in ages. Too many shoes!!!!!
Have you notced how they never stay tied and slip off the hooks ! (sorry if this should be in another thread )
But all previous ones are pish and end up trailing behind you as soon as they get wet and untie themselves.
Seriously, it’s bomb-proof.
It never ceases to amaze me what can be found on the Interweb. Shoelace geeks… incredible.
