Singularity

This week I am mostly discovering…

It's so me, darlingI like running in the rain.

I generate a lot of heat when I exercise. I do it on the bike – I do it even more when I’m running. I like the Dun Run so much because it’s at night, when the sun’s away and it’s cooler. I prefer cycling in Spring and Autumn because I don’t overheat.

Yesterday I went running in the rain. The nasty, twisty route over rocks and planks, despite my better judgement. It was nice. I did the whole thing without stopping, except ever so briefly to take off my jacket so that the rain could hit my skin. I was steaming, great clouds of vapour coming off me and dispersing as the intermittent breeze boffed at me with pugel sticks made of cotton wool and spider feathers.

I did it in the same time it usually takes me to do the easy route that avoids twists and soft sand by taking the old railway track.

I am also discovering how to make my hair look like muppet feathers. Serious muppet feathers, not Big Bird muppet feathers. This I like. Although I think I’m going to have it cut by a professional in order to facilitate this.

“I’d like you to cut my hair to look like Mortimer, please.”

“Yerwhat?”

Do you think if I take in a copy of Secret War and point at Daisy and tell them I want to look like that during the day (I’m pretty sure Dell ‘Otto modelled her on Angelina Jolie in Hackers) and a copy of Mortimer and Arabel for my personal look (one gets the normal eye, the other gets the black) they’ll understand what I mean?
