I’m Sorry

It looked OK to start with; a nice late awakening, a sunny day, and a stroll down to the beach for a coffee.

And then my daughter calls to complain about my laggardness at topping up her phone account (which I had already done; she just hadn’t noticed).

Then I sent a humorous text message which wasn’t taken as such. Unexpected back-peddle.

On my bike, a tradie did his best to cut me down at a corner and then got very shirty with me when I pulled ahead of him at the next lights.

At  the very next set of lights another cyclist ran up the back of my bike and then abused me for the results.

Now that I am at work, I fear leaving the building in anticipation as to what may come down upon my head. Especially as the dark clouds have rolled in.

I may have to apologise to Apollo and Athena (they were sharing the arts portfolio back in the day) for slagging off at the artistes of this fine city of ours.

PS yep, sure enough, I just got roundly abused by a motorist for holding him up at a round about. I suggested to him that such behaviour was very unwise given that half the cyclists in Redfern are mad crack heads.

PPS so I’m riding home at the end of the day and it starts raining. Then I get a screw in the back tyre and have to walk the thing 5 km’s in the rain. Mind you, I just changed that tube two days ago. Oh, and I was very lucky not to have a head on with a motor bike as well.
