I had to dig out my old total air max II. There are in the silver and red, which are well worn too. So worn that the air soles are close to popping, imagine walking around on deflated air soles ! pssst pssst pssst the noise of the air leaking out while walking. I'll have to scrounge around for some money, shoes are expensive !
What do you do when you feel old to recapture your youth ? Buy a brand new sport's car ? Nope can't afford one. Instead I bought a new bicycle. Hand crafted in Taiwan, it has a front suspension so I can attempt some downhill jumps and ride on some trails.
I haven't ridden a bicycle in years, the last time I was on a bicycle. I managed to crash into the ground and cut my head with blood dripping down my brow. That wasn't the worse part, I also fractured my arm which led to internal bleeding. So my elbow swelled so much that I couldn't move my arm. I ended up in hospital having to be impaled by gigantic syringe to drain out all the blood.
I don't often get to go out on courses, but I spent two days in Cambridge last week. I thought it would be good to get away from the traffic congestion in London but getting into Cambridge city centre was just as bad. No wonder all the students and locals are all on their bicycles. I saw two kids perched on one bike, on in the front basket and one behind the rider. Also who would of thought it would be possible to read a book, smoke and ride a bicycle at the same time. Kinda of made me feel old with so many students around.
The hotel the course was at, was an old style place as you can see from the pictures the red leather chairs look like the one Morpheus sat in from the Matrix.
There was a rustic open log fire with the distinctive crackling noise. Which was kind of weird given the restaurant was an extension to the hotel and had a modern contemporary look. The glass dome reminded me of the film Titanic.
