Having a quiet day today. OK, well, made some curried parsnip soup this morning, plus sorted out a stack of paperwork.

I have had a most excellent lunch of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with gorgonzola, the other with half an avocado, plus some olives, two and some strawberries.

Just finishing off a bit more paperwork and need to pay for something I've arranged to buy, and then I'm off out on the bike. Seems criminal to waste such a lovely afternoon being stuck indoors.

The latter has a range of safety equipment to help prevent injury though. When did you last get any safety equipment for using a pen?

"- ay, there's the rub, for in this sleep of death what dreams may come…”

Or,
"They say a dream takes only a second or so, and yet in that second a man can live a lifetime. He can suffer and die, and who's to say which is the greater reality: the one we know or the one in dreams, between heaven, the sky, the earth..."

Yes, I've come across that second quote before. I'll counter with this:

Moonlight spreads its fingers, while I,
Fast in my bed am lost to the world.
Yet my mind, unfettered in sleep,
Soars high among the stars.
And still, I dream.

I had an amazing night sleep! Some wicked cool dreams about owning a cocktail bar in the 70's full of synthwave music and awesome clothes.....LOVED IT...

Edit: I was born in 1988, but love this period for music and films - like Terminator, Bladerunner (although that was early 80's)

Blade Runner is based on the book "Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K Dick btw...

And... the computer, HAL, in 2001,a space odyssey, is one letter transposed from IBM

And that the space suits used in 2001 were then re-used in the Babylon 5 double episode "War Without End"

The world is something of a better place after 12 miles on the bike and a nice post-ride cuppa.
