Chocolate and magazines are only a temporary fix I guess. Here’s hoping for some fine riding days ahead.

The end of the year brings on a lot of reflection for a lot of people I think. While it’s been cold I don’t think it’s time to break out the summer pictures just yet. I want to wait at least until there’s snow on the ground! It’s a good idea though.

Hope things are going well with you too.

Take care mate.

All the best LEN
P.s we still take the dog for a crafty out-of-hour cemetery stroll:)

Thanks for the link to the Slate story. If nothing else, it proves the adage, “everything changes”.

I don’t know how they do it. I remember back in the 1970s when I worked full time in a darkroom as a printer. Dark on the way to work, dark all day, and dark on the way home. That would do my in now but as a kid I didn’t even notice.

Thanks!

Stone orchard. I’ve never heard that before but paints an appropriate picture. I come by my fascination with cemeteries honestly. When I was a kid my mother took me to every old church and cemetery she could find when we traveled. I bet I’ve been to every church and cemetery in Bavaria. I don’t see them as death yards but I have to admit I’ve been frightened twice in them.

Four weeks! Hot dog. That’s the best news I’ve had all week.

After the first couple snow falls I’ll put the winter tires on the Vespa which improve traction on dry, cold pavement as well as wet and slushy snow. But I fear the blood thinning drug I’m on may limit my desire to be out in the cold. We’ll see. Kim and the dogs are here and Emma is just a short ride away. Things are good despite what you might read into a picture!

That glow only lasts a few minutes. I was lucky to get home a little early. Usually it’s long gone by the time I arrive…
