books cycling routes

i popped out to get some more food for balthazara, then over to manolis for a quick bite to eat before i went to work, this meant i took a different route to work today, and it cut 5 - 10 minutes off my journey...?

when i first started cycling to work i found a fairly direct route that was a bit unpleasant as regards traffic... i then changed to a slightly longer one that was much nicer, today i combined the 2 and it surprised me just how out of the way i was going in order to have nice back streets...

(of course i find this great route just as i stop teaching there for the summer)

saw K today and we're going to the pictures next friday i hope... groovy, nippy also in, we're meeting on monday to get ready for a duo gig next thursday...

and i can't find mountolive... i think i left it somewhere on wednesday, (i was leaving all kinds of things everywhere on wednesday... one of those days), i bought three more books from that bookstall outside the NFT, all women this time: what i loved by siri hustvedt, time and tide by edna o'brien & under the net by iris murdoch, this last because of ganching reminiscing about her first years in london & mapping it through this book...

and while i'm about it i'll name the three i bought on monday (when i was still a prime number...): the dark room at longwood by jean-paul kauffman, a thousand acres by jane smiley & the roaches have no king by daniel evan weiss...

who knows when i'm going to read all this, my i'm hoping to read list is already too big even before these go on... i just love buying books...

josiah & grace on their way round, big move tomorrow...

I tried re-reading an Iris Murdoch book recently and didn't much like it. Belated happy birthday.
