Today I'm alone for most of the day. My partner took off by bike (then ferry) to Vancouver Island to chair a provincial cycling advocacy meeting. He won't be back until 8:00 pm tonight or so.

So I cycled 40 kms. solo ...and then did some minor grocery shopping. Oh those goat cheeses hit my wallet... Relaxed and had a rosemary foccacia bread slice and coffee there. Cycled home in rain.

Been here at computer after hot shower.

Life is just normal when he's not around...just as normal when he is around at home. When he is around, on weekends, we are cycling together often.
