The calendar year 2018 is soon over, and I will reach just over 10.000km on the bike this year. So far, so good 🙂
A few days ago was winter solstice and in a German road-bike forum someone published an article about interesting events taking place at summer solstice in June. Something to look forward to, and possibly plan for.
Unfortunately such large events are quite in fashion nowadays and often too many people there, prices up and you have to book tickets long time in advance. But to join such an event may be something nice for a change? Well, we’ll see what time will bring and at least I’d like to manage riding another 10.000km also in 2018 😉
Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite authors. He was not only a great author, but also a “original character” himself.
It seems like one of his last wishes was that nobody should “finish” and publish the books he was still working on. Although he could not use a computer anymore himself, he was dictating texts for several books, as long as he was still able to do that, due to his Alzheimer disease.
Now his last wish was fulfilled. The hard disk of his last computer was crushed with a steam roller.
What I really like with this story is that despite these modern commercialized times, this last obligation was indeed fulfilled by one of his closest friends.
