No Fixed Abode

Freezing fog has crept up on us. I was quite enjoying the crisp, clear though very cold days last week; makes for a refreshing change from the persistent life sapping dull drizzle. So when the snow didn’t arrive I wasn’t going to let myself get too down hearted, there’s plenty of time for the snow to show up, instead I decided to enjoy the freezing fog. It sounds like a monster that stalks through the woods suffocating small children who wander off the path. It was quite dangerous riding your bike on the roads today but there were great effects of silhouettes against head lights trapped in the fog. Usually I wouldn’t go through the park after dark but the street was more dangerous in these conditions. So with my feet pounding on the pedals I shot through the wooded trail, trying not to think about the fore-mentioned monster, and enjoyed the thrill of only being able to see a few yards in front as I darted between trees hoping that a foolhardy group of squirrels weren’t playing chicken round the next bend.

I would quite appreciate some batteries for the lights on the bike that I’m currently borrowing: a pair of AAAs and a pair of Ds, thanks.
