early afternoon out on a bike, trying persuade the wind to blow the residue of the morning out of my head, a sequence of coffees only managing to find limited levels of potency despite an upgrade in beans... off in search of some music but finding little life beneath the bridges... looking back across the city, the southern hills cloud crowned and clear in the distance, swapping lenses but forgetting to reset the exposure from the faulty fifty, which wants to overexpose everything and finding shapes just visible within the dark blob ... back in the flat, messing about a little to see how they would look if the brightness was kicked up...
