Things are desperate when this character's Blipped, and he has been several times.

Did get on the bike today, the great big one with a motor. First outing in months, and it started first press of the button. Of course there was a stunning sunset, and later a beautiful red glow above the horizon and Beauly Firth. But I was motoring over the Kessock Bridge at both of those times, and you can't stop there, unless on the foot/cycle path with the regular transport.

The Apple was returned, and some shopping done. Brilliant to be out on the motor. Can't help but have a big grin and childish sense of excitement heading out on it, even though I merely plod along like I good citizen. Faster is colder, and the temperature's plummeting tonight.
