The worst cycle I ever had . I did not place my arse on a saddle in Longford once that day - I walked. I had a very enjoyable journey i to Longford from Connolly and I talked to a few people on the way which made the journey seem that bit shorter . So , I suppose I was about 20KM from Longford and fell asleep . But .... when I woke up my brain had a buzz in it and I could not really hear anything unless it was shouted . I did not feel balanced so I just walked . It was very misty , even slightly raining . So I still did not get up on the bike as I was afraid I would loose my balance. So eventually I decided to go back to Dublin . At this stage I was nearly just OK , and the buzzing was still in my ears and I decided to have a cup of coffee . So I did that to discover that it was a chocolate coffee shop . I even left half the coffee behind . (There must be something wrong if I do that ) . So the train arrived and i felt a bit better in the train .This tension and feeling pressurised which I felt on the way to Leitrim happened before , not as strong but it did happen . Its like a valve which wont let go . Ill ask Tess about all of this tomorrow . I had intended to go to Boyle - maybe another time but definitly not for the next week at least. Its very hard to admit you are 71 and getting older . Still think of other people - a good comparison is Palestinians . One extreme is absolutely horrific , absolutely disgusting . Of course all of those children could be military even though they are starving . Unimaginable.
