Last Hours

We are ready to go, and probably would have left by now but for the fact that we are waiting on new brakes to be added to the bike and for the truck, an additional spare tyre and two new batteries. All of this “will be ready Monday”. So we wait. It’s a bit like waiting for Race Day. We feel a similar type of nervous anticipation but there’s no point to it. In a race you might win or lose but you will definitely feel pain. Here there is no victory and no need for pain – certainly on my part and that of Spike the dog. Anna will be making all the effort but I hope she will pace herself well and not try too hard until she is absolutely match fit. An early injury would be bad.
