Not a bad day. I got up lateish - altho I was awake early. Swapped a few emails with all the girls, E, Y, J and A! And then I biked to Cheltenham. Was a strong breeze most of the way and I struggled a bit. Met E at Starbucks at Sainsb at 1 and had a coffee. Was nice to catch up as ever but quickest fiver spent of the week! Drunk up and gone within about 20 minutes! I cycled back via Tewks. It was a reasonably warm day so I bought a sandwich and sat down by the river and read my book. A man sat down next to me on the bench, maybe a few years older than me. He said that he has a good offer to emigrate to New Zealand but has to make the decision today and doesn't know whether to go for it or not. He said he has no-one here that he has to to think about but still... I thought that if he has to think about it then maybe the move isn't right? I kind of envied him though. I sat there and thought that maybe thats what I should do. Move away, move on, leave the thoughts of S and A and E etc in the past where maybe they belong! Wish I had the guts. Wonder what he decided?
Talking of a devil - when i got home S text to see if I could talk and then phoned me for almost an hour. Was nice to chat, I had hoped to meet up with her this week but she said it was too short notice and she had too much on. But near the end of the conversation she said that she needs to visit her parents soon and maybe she could wrangle something for this weekend. That would be a good way to end my week off.
More biking tonight. P and I did 13 miles thru town, Twyning, Strensham and Defford to Eckington where we met M. We had 3 drinks in the two pubs and a chit chat. Was a really nice evening. (And I finally had a few texts from A. Asked me if I wanted to meet at the pub tomorrow lunchtime. We had discussed it last week but I wasn't going to mention it unless she did!) Unfortunately, we had to leave at about 9 as M had no lights (and as we knew he wouldn't have, P and I didn't bother putting ours on our bikes either). We left with promises to do it again when P returns from Florida. By the time I had got home I had done another 7 miles for a grand total today of 44 miles! Thats a lot of miles I've done this week!
