Well almost as the leaves litter the ground, OK a tenuous link to a song title! The leaves do make a bit of a hazard when out on the bike. On my ride yesterday I was very tentative going down hill and hampered by wet leaves going up (tyres don’t grip). It was good to get a decent ride in after the awful rain Sunday and Monday. I now have the delight of filling bags full of leaves to look forward to, we have trees in the garden and around!

I have been playing around with a couple of my stories this week as well as working on a poem. I am also looking for a story for the pub gig (Wednesday 14th in the Three Horseshoes Frampton) to tell. No Wick Court this week so a surprisingly free week on the Story Telling front.

“It is the hope that gets you!” I went to football on Tuesday night full of optimism after my team’s recent form for a big one against Portsmouth. I was really looking forward to this one against another good old fashioned and well supported club. Both sets of supporters have been on roller coaster of fortune in recent years. Sadly after a wonderful start the wheels came off and we were comprehensively outplayed in the second half. I now go to Exeter on Saturday full of trepidation!
