a lady from Keralla

15 MAY 2023:
I met a younger lady from Keralla,
Upon seeing my Bullet was made merrier,
Said they're popular over there as the wind caught her hair
As I bowed and admired her derriere.

Please explain! Well, as is my wont, I prefer to not use a car to get groceries. All I ever think about is riding my Bullet. 
At a mother's day picnic yesterday, the first without my mum😔, my niece expressed a need for a cold climate sleeping bag. She's going camping this weekend to the Barrington's, the same place I rode my Bullet too last Friday. So today, that was enough reason to take a 45min ride out to deliver that and a lightweight pack I have spare. 
While I was in the area I decided to hit ALDI, again it's a Bullet thing; I can see my bike from inside the shop. 😀
After stocking up I was packing my whares into the saddlebags when a pleasant Indian woman said "Nize built". It took me a second to catch on & translate her accent: nice bullet. "Oh yeh, I love it". She says "They're very popular over there". I say "yes. I'd love to go over there, but a Bullet and ride around". We talked a bit more, I learnt she was from the state of Keralla. We talked about is warm weather, lush vegetation and siding beaches, before she admitted missing the place, that he husband had been over there for a week and would be for a long time. I felt her pain and urged her to take good care. Donned my wet weather gear and choices off down the road, saddlebags bulging.

a skin thing?

As a surfer from my childhood years I escalated to surfing most days. If i wasn't surfing I was just going on or out of the surf, or at school or in latter yesrs work. Some school days would see me run home from the beach dripping wet, stuff cereal down & jog to school. At lunch break I would grab a bike & get a surf in.  On my twenties i took up sailing. If I wasn't actually sailing I would be working on my boat getting things ready. I spent two enjoyable winters on the tropical north.  In later life, I've mowed lawns for an income & continued to swim & sail when I can.  As old surfers know, there's a toll on your skin. Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
