🔌The problem with my bike was diagnosed to be the charger and now I have a new one.

🚲The kids who shouted out “Wheelie?” as I rode past them. That’s beyond my capabilities but I was glad not to be dismissed out of hand.

🌬️I picked the right direction to ride in, when I tried to go back on myself at one point the sea breeze was impossibly brutal.

🧑🏻‍🔧The bike shop mechanic was very friendly.

🔌 And he thought the problem with my bike was most likely cable or charger related (cheap-ish) rather than battery related (expensive).

🛍️Impromptu shopping trip where we both got what we wanted (and cheap).

👁️ Got my eyes tested and all was well and my prescription hasn’t changed much.

📕 Went to the coffee shop and ignored the world and read for a bit.

🌀Walked up the winding spiral paths through the park rather than the steps straight up the middle, it was oddly soothing.

🫖 Finding an emergency tea bag supply in the back of the cupboard just when I thought the day was going to be an irretrievable loss.

🥛 I remembered to buy milk on the way home so there can be more tea.

🌅 Watching the super pink sunset reflected in every window down the street.

🌞 It’s been a perfect sunny day.

👑The sheriff came with us on our Critical Mass bike ride. (Here that’s a ceremonial mayor-ish kind of role, not the police.)

📖 I spent ages reading outside by the cathedral, then finished my book in the library.
