My Daily Banana 

  

My dream last night:

     We Heike, a work colleague and I were washed up on a rocky island. We were naked and were lying in each other’s arms. I got fruity with my colleague and she gave me a kiss and told me to wait until later, I gave them both a hug and a kiss and the dream moved on.
     Now I was in a building, in a very large living room. There were many couples with kids in the same room, everyone looking for a bed to sleep. I found one but before I could lie down in it someone had taken my place, so I slept on an armchair next to the bed.
     At some time in the night I woke up and went to the bathroom. There I noticed someone had stolen my toiletry bag. With it my medication and toothbrush were gone, I put some toothpaste on my finger and rubbed it into my teeth. When I left the bathroom the house had turned into a hospital, I went looking for a doctor.
     That's where my dream ends.

Todays bike ride:

Puh, that was something, the northwest wind was blowing at about 6-7 beaufort with gusts of 8 beaufort. It was knackering but when I got home I had the feeling that I had fought a great fight an came away as the winner.

Todays cycling:

I fought an hour through the gusty wind, it was nice and sunny though and twelve degrees centigrade warm. Twenty four kilometers in 1hr 6min, not fast but lets face it I'm over the sixties mark (that's a subtle way of asking for praise).
