Mud & mushrooms, dinner & feeling weird!

Me, My Bike & My Rucksack today

Feeling a tad weird right now! Been out for dinner with my best friend Jac and her p & m. It's her 33d Birthday tomorrow (same as John Lennons). She has these new veneers on her front teeth. Cost a fortune, but she looks absoultely wonderful! She can't stop looking at them! Anyways...the reason I am feeling weird is because Her p & m took me & Jac out to a nice restaurant and I took my meds just as I was eating. This always makes it feel worse than normal, when I eat food out. Plus the being out and in different surroundings from normal too may have a contributing factor. I wish I could explain it! I am fine, I have gotten used to it by now. My HIV meds are to blame. They do their job, which is the main thing.
Before I had a really great evening I went out to Leith Hill with my bike. The weather was perfect too! Dry, slight breeze, sunny spells and not too warm. I got down to the Landslip car park for about 11:30am and did my usual 13 mile loop of all the best tracks including Summer Lightning. I won't bore you with all the misplaced mud, dying ferns and fake waterfalls etc, but I had a great day and when I got home this afternoon, I doctored a photograph I took of myself wearing a favorite t-shirt of mine on Photoshop. In it I am looking out over the South Downs towards Brighton and the south coast. It is a great veiw and at times you can see the sea on a very clear day. Bit hazy today though (like me). The highlight of the ride though has to be watching a bunch of macho Aussie mountain bikers contemplating wether or not to ride down "Deliverance!" I had already done it once and was keen to see some one else try it. There was some talk of saddles being lowered but nothing else. Once again....Deliverance was left in peace! I left with a smile on my face:) And also todays ride saw an abundance of "Amanita muscaria" mushrooms (the red ones with the white spots). I will probably post a photo of one on here sometime soon. For some starnge reason I really like to look at mushrooms in the wild. Oh, I washed my bike yesterday and it looked like new again. It was so filthy! Well, it needs another bath!
Bills to pay tomorrow, shopping to get in too.
