An old Irish ballad for today’s title as we seem to have had nonstop  wind for a while now! You really notice it on your bike-it is really hard work! I hope to cycle to Monday’s gig because after all I am supposed to be The Story Traveller. I will check the weather forecast!!!!! The only downside of cycling to a gig is all the stuff you cram into your panniers and I can’t take my fedora hat that I often wear for my gigs. Full day tomorrow so just going over my stories for the last time. Last couple of days have been preparation for future gigs.

My sporting week has been mixed. My bowling got a real mauling on Monday night for the first time indoors! Yet Tuesday I watched a really plucky display by my favourite football team -it is now getting tense -it is the Hope that gets you!
