Gail, I have noticed there have a been a lot of 'training rides' lately, and also much fiddling around with your touring bicycle. I surmise you are off again on a trip shortly. Is that so?
Indeed it is Bertie, I'm leaving tomorrow in fact.
And where are you headed this time?
[Bertie looks puzzled at the response].
Are you OK Gail? It sounded like you were being sick? Perhaps you had better stay home with me.
Silly Bertie, I was just listing the places where we'll be staying. Let me try again, more slowly this time. Dubrovnik and Molunat, Croatia; Bilica, Bosnia-Herzogovina; Niksic, Podgorica and Kotor, Montenegro; Shkoder, Albania. Got it?
Er, yes, OK, fine. But what about me?
Well Bertie, you will be just across the road with our neighbours Yvonne and Neil. Won't that be nice?
That's Neil who likes long walks and Yvonne who does lots of cooking and often gives me treats? Oh yes, that would be most acceptable. A big improvement on so-called "camp" for sure. In fact, YIPPEE! No need to hurry back Gail…
See you all in about two weeks.
