Running on Empty

It's been a week of next to no sleep and rather than having me tapping on my laptop as I usually do, it's left me with no energy or inspiration at all, hovering through life like a shadow of my usual self. Ok, it's not that bad, in fact it's not bad at all I guess I'm just feeling a bit lethargic is all.

Moving on, I have a busy weened ahead, the time of the long anticipated Dunwich Dynamo has come and, this evening, I'll be peddling for all I'm worth in an attempt to get to the coast before they stop serving breakfast. I'm both apprehensive and looking forward to it at the same time, the weather doesn't look too bad, it might rain but with a bit of luck it should all clear up before I set off.

In other new, I experienced cold stabbing looks from a number of strangers yesterday. Paying homage to the Thai man once again, I took the orders from an number of people in the office. As per usual, a large queue had formed by the time I had got there and he was starting to run low of food when I had made my way to the front. I roll out my order and notice how the people behind me looked at me as the Thai man gave me the last of the red and yellow curries. I think this was bad luck on my part as if I was five minutes earlier, I would not have depleted his reserves with my order but, as it happened, I walked away with two full bags as everyone looked at me with shear hatred. I'll make no apologies for this though as it was a great lunch.....

hope the ride went well Josh, that it didn't rain (too much) and look forward to reading all about it here very soon I hope...

I'll second that, though I thought ER was joining you. I'd boiled the kettle and dusted off the Rich Tea biscuits but no one showed :(

Thanks. The vast majority of yesterday was spent sleeping and eating.... Saturday was a success I arrived in Dunwhich at 8AM feeling rather soar.

Unfortunatly, ER couldn't make it. I knew nothing of the offer including Rich Tea or I would have been there in a flash.

Ah I love Dunwich- did you have fish and chips in the little shed on the beach? The best in the world. Can't believe you cycled all the way there, kudos!!

Marianne, unfortunately he doesn't open up until past midday, the cafe by the car park was serving up fryups, I'll be sure to check out the fish and chips if I'm ever in Dunwich during the day.
