After a week of long, hot sunny days it's finally raining. The garden is looking a bit parched but hopefully by tomorrow will be back to its lush green self. Working lates driving buses has been great for the last week as I get to spend most of the day down at the beach with Edward. The bike you see above is my single-speed Trek with a dog seat on the back (actually, it's a shopping basket which I adapted and cut using my Dremel). We only live 10 minutes walk from the beach but modern laziness makes me think "why walk for ten minutes on hot pavements in traffic fumes when I can ride for less than 5 minutes and give Edward a longer time at the beach chasing rabbits around the dunes?", it's a no-brainer. We must look like a right pair of weirdo's on that bike as it always makes pedestrians and car drivers smile/laugh when they see us out riding. Don't care.
