i skated and it was fantastic to be on my wheels again. 8 miles with A as my pace-master on his bike.

the shins were sore after 2 minutes... but i was pleased by the fact that i wasn't totally knackered.

drank tea in finlaystone with an alarming number of small kids dressed as pirates.

then wandered about the late summer flowers and went home and tried not to fall asleep.

will i be able to walk tomorrow? hmmm, we'll see
