"S h e i s s e - s h i t e the pool is shitting shut!" I honked down the telephone to the Geordies who were also riding in the steaming rain for a much needed expulsion of energy on a soggy Monday evening. . But when you can't really get any damper, might as well embrace it. So I ditched my bicycle back at home + went trudging through puddles in the dark of the night in the tantilisingly tenebrous park. Runningrunningrunning : thrillingspilling+ willing; until my overactive imagination got the better of me + I exchanged the isolated sinister looking lake for the bright but blurry lights of Fallowfield + carnage of students out on their pub-runs.

I spotted a hazard in the cycle lane, but took a picture of it before removing it, because I thought it looked pretty against the reflective puddles of the kebab houses. [and it was an excuse to stop for a second]
