A Perfect Morning (Almost)

Do you ever have those mornings where everything clicks into place just as it should?

My morning has been a bit like that. I got out of bed at the right time. I had a little time to myself. Thursday is bin day so I took the rubbish out then wheeled the wheelie bins to the edge of the verge. I made Pauline a cup of tea. Had some fruit for breakfast. I even ran a backup on the computer.

Everything was falling into place. I was running right on time.

Then I went to get on my bike. The back tyre had a distinct lack of air. As I mentioned last week, I had a puncture but I wasn’t sure that I found whatever it was that caused it. Looks like I’ll get another chance to look for it now.

Thankfully I have a spare – bike that is. I grabbed my mountain bike out of the shed and I was on my way to work without losing too much time.

So it’s out with the puncture repair kit tonight.

That’s OK. I find that working on my bikes can be quite therapeutic.

  • No. I was running late. Then I jumped on a train headed for Fremantle at Perth station. I should have boarded the Armadale train…

  • I wish I had good mornings. The problem is that I am a night person. i guess if I went to bed earlier my morings would go smoother. Maybe I’m not really a night person. Maybe i really am a morning person that need to go the bed sooner! ha!
