[Sweder]

There's been no running to report, here or in many other pages on this forum, of late. I guess it's that time of year again.
Congratulations to the B&H men and women who swept the board at the South Downs 100 mile Relay last weekend. A magnificent effort in warm conditions. It's pretty warm here in Valencia right now, though I'd rather have been with the guys 'n' gals as orignally intended. Needs must when the Devil drives and that cloven work-hoof has the pedal to the metal just now.

I had a dream last night.
I'm driving along an un-named road in the twilight. Tired, focused on the continuous white line in the centre of the road (to my right, so I'm driving on the left like I do at home). The road is shiny, reflecting the lights from fast-moving traffic coming in the opposite direction. Try as I might I can't stop myself wandering across the white line, forcing the oncoming traffic to swerve out of my way. There's no blaring of horms or angry curses, just the incessant rush of fast-moving rubber on tarmac.

As portents that go bump in the night go it's a fairly crude, obvious message.
Time to slow down, perhaps even take a break.
