Has anyone noticed the hits counter at the bottom of the page? It's now over 4 million. I think that congratulations are in order for our super web mistress and her team of elves, I mean helpers.

Congratulations Erin, I look forward to the next million.

hugs,

Angharad.

For those of you who like to read my serial concerning the life and times of Kylie Mosse, I have some bad news. The next one will appear sometime in the next few days, once it's been proofed and I re-edit it.

I thought I'd better warn you, in case you wish to leave the country, now.

hugs,

Angharad.

Just to give some advance warning, I'm away for a week from monday 20th October. I'm going to Menorca where I hope to do lots of walking and birdwatching (as in ornithology!). It's a favourite place of mine, although I'm going on my own this year - it does mean I can do what I want every day.

In an amazing finish, Cooke outsprinted Vos and Arndt to take the Women's Elite Road Race World Championship in the same year as she won the Olympic gold. What an athlete, what a woman!

Charlotte's Tale

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

In writing Bike and Bonkers, plus a few other bits and pieces Charlotte has been a little neglected. I plan on remedying that as soon as possible - it might also get one or two of you off my back. So please don't start on about Snafu, I'm well aware I haven't done any of it for ages, but I can only do so much at once and I have worked 12 hour days for the last few, so be thankful that Bonzi has been able to help me write what we have between us. He's the hardest working cat in Christendom (so he tells me).

Tour of Britain

Well I've done my bit for another year. The weather driving from Dorchester to Tiverton was awful. It absolutely chucked it down. This stage of the race started at Chard, in Somerset and went on to Burnham on Sea in Devon. I was marshalling at Tiverton.

Over the hill - conclusion.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I'm sure I'm boring you all stiff, but I have just completed another ride up the ridgeway, this time on my race bike - something a few days ago, I wouldn't have believed I could do. This bike is higher geared than the others, with only a compact chainset instead of the triple. It goes faster but takes more effort.

Easy As Falling Asleep

Sorry, can't do an episode tonight - too tired, just had a friend on the phone for an hour and am absolutely knackered. Discovered I can't save the universe and write at the same time. Hopefully normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

Apologies,

Angharad & >^^< (the one who kept me awake last night!)

Over the hill again.

In March last year I posted a blog about cycling over the South Dorset Ridgeway. From, the Weymouth side, it rises about 100m much of it in the form of a chalk escarpment. From the north it's a longer gentler pull, from the south, a much steeper prospect with nasty hairpin bend about a third of the way up.

Totally Awsome Cycling!

The British Lion has roared at the track cycling in Beijing, a medal in every event so far plus a gold and silver in the Keirin and the same assured in the women's 3000m individual time trial. As a member of British Cycling; I am overjoyed. I presume I can stand down now, as they look as if they can cope without me. 8)

Stabbing on a bike.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I am led to believe that being stabbed feels like being kicked. A wound that causes blood to enter the mouth means penetration of gut or lung. Either can be serious to the point of being fatal, loss of consciousness means a large to massive bleed.

The narrative of this story is first person - unconscious/dying/dead people don't tend to say very much.

Totally Flabbergasted!

I like to keep an eye on my stories to see which ones are more popular. At present, that seems to be Totally Insane which at the time of counting, a few minutes ago, had a combined hit score of 17,500 for ten episodes. Looks like I'll have to keep it going a bit longer (or the death threats from a soon to be teenager, will start again!).

I got my wheel back lunch time and have sorted it and the brakes this evening. The good news is, I won't now have to destroy the universe.
Just thought you'd like to know, so you can make forward plans again.

One of those weeks!

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

What a week - it began on saturday evening when my mountain bike, upon which I had carried about two tons of food shopping earlier, made funny noises on braking. A strange noise, sounded a bit like the spokes were being rubbed, but as it was only on using the rear brake, I decided it had to be that. Nowhere was open to sell me some more brake blocks,so it became a job for sunday.

Nearly One Year Old

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

According to the records, 'Bike' will be one year old on Wednesday, which all being well should be episode number 349. I'm sixteen or so parts missing- not bad I suppose, considering I do have a life outside writing poor fiction. Of those missing I suspect half a dozen were technical glitches, plus a couple of holidays and a hospital appointment.

Absolutely Barking!

The next part of Totally Insane should be up tomorrow, I have to finish the edit. However, I was a moment ago, looking at the hits list, in eight episodes it has registered 15,205 hits.

Maddy Bell(http://www.maddybell.com/page600.html )has posted updates on several stories including her latest Nena-sode, and some fanfics- some of which are not posted elsewhere! Erm, hint, hint, oh yes, that includes one of mine (blushes coyly)Whatever Next part 17, with Drew up to his neck in things again- this time the ironing. If you go to the fanfic page, there are two short stories I wrote for the 2008 Gabycon posted as well. Neither will tax your brain too hard and only one is about cycling - honest!

I have explained before that Totally Insane was intended as a one or two parter. It seems that some of you like it, one reader in particular likes it enough to send me begging letters, for more! There's no accounting for taste, I suppose.

I am extremely cross that I've lost tonight's episode after taking two hours to write it. I think I'm going to have to do them on my own puter and paste them. I won't be doing a rewrite tonight. So much for f*cking technology!

A very pissed off,

Angharad.
