Most people have no more definite idea of liberty than that it consists in being compelled by law to do as they like – Ambrose Bierce

Franklin finally departs
Like an unwelcome guest, Storm Franklin finally seems to be departing. Subjective of course, but here in Derbyshire, Franklin seemed marginally more bumptious than Eunice. It certainly seemed noisier with rain bashing against the windows last night and a constant windy roar from the wood-burner all evening.
We strolled into town for a coffee this morning, if you can call it a stroll with our heads down against the wind half the time. Which reminds me, how is it that we almost always have to walk into the wind instead of it assisting us from behind? I noticed that when cycling to work years ago. The wind was against me on the way there and on the way back. A law of nature I suppose.
As an addition to your 'wind is always in your face' law, might I also suggest my 'wherever you go on a push bike, it's always uphill'? Both there, and back. The law of Bicycle Gravity perhaps?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Gladys.
ReplyDeleteDJ - good point - if only it could be reversed.
ReplyDeleteJames - I bet they don't choose the name Ghislaine next.
