I’ve noticed an interesting difference between driving and biking. When you are driving, you can’t wait to stop. Always looking for faster routes, shortcuts and ways to get out of your car quicker. On a bike it’s exactly the opposite. We often find ourselves taking the long route just for fun.

I am so angry at the current billionnaires and ultra-rich that this was a nice antidote to read. My first job was with an NGO supported by Atlantic Philanthropies. That funding made a real difference. And nice to know he is laid to rest nearby in Glasnevin.

Could so relate to this. Thinking about loss of snow makes me incredibly sad. It is the calmest and happiest I ever feel, skiing on a gently downhill forest path. I can't describe it. Or childhood memories of birthday parties iceskating on a frozen lake.

There are about 30 starlings at home in the dense shrub a few doors down and I love their loud chirping, tweeting and nattering before they all leave together in the morning (and after they return). Their timings are so precise too.
