A post from a new writer: The Happy Bicyclist.
Most
Saturday afternoons, J and I go for a bike ride together that usually ends up
at some cafe in the country. Today, though, she was rostered on for work.
Bicycling
on a calm, sunny afternoon in winter can be quite magical. Heading out just
after lunch, I stopped at Healthy Harvest in Prebbleton for some mandarins and
cheaper-than-usual capsicums. And just remembered the honey that had been
forgotten on our previous supermarket visit. Later, on the Lincoln side of
Rolleston I added some garlic from a roadside stall.
Still
feeling pleased about the garlic, I swung on and off the completed sections of
the Lincoln-Rolleston off-road cyclepath presently under construction. Once
finished in a month or so, this will be a real boon for all sorts of folk,
people walking as well as people on their bikes.

Today,
I stopped in two cafes - coffee in Rolleston, and herbal tea in Lincoln. We
hadn't been to the one in Rolleston, and J wanted me to check it out. It's in the
iZone, and you can find it by turning off Jones Road at the yard filled with
derelict Landrovers.
Being
on my own, I had a book to read: Robert & Edward Skidelsky's "How much
is enough?...the case for the Good Life". Sounds good to me.
