Good Intentions

These photos have just been waiting

for me to sit down at the computer long enough to post them.

They are from a couple of weekends ago

when I took myself off for a bike ride.

Any bicycle ride here

naturally goes alongside the river.

Any other route would mean

climbing hills,

and I wasn't inclined to do that

as it was too hot.

Though not as hot as it's been since then.

Not long into the ride

and I stopped to listen to a band playing.

These people seemed to have the right idea,

sheltering from the sun.

I didn't cycle very far,

but took a few photos on the way.

Unfortunately the heat must have sozzled my head,

as a number of the photos

showed that I must have been holding the camera at an angle,

making the photos unusable.

The one below is straight enough,

just.

I sat for a while on a bench here,

before cycling back,

passing this sun dial showing the wrong time.

To me it reads 2 o'clock,

but it was actually

3.45.

How can that be?

Following that cycle ride,

I had intended to take the bike out regularly,

but Wimbledon

and Glastonbury came on the telly

and I watched them instead.

Good intentions....
