...but otherwise we had a splendid afternoon.
We needed a few important things (like a new battery for one of stoneshop 's bikes) so we headed out to Germany today. It was a wonderful summer day; we took the Hondas.
Useful shopping and a wonderful ride with my sweetie all at the same time; does life get any better? I'm not sure I care if it does.

We mainly took the small roads and the dike roads that we both love so well. There were some cyclists but not too many. The twists and turns in the road took us exactly where we wanted to go, as if they knew. The river shone bright blue and the cows and sheep all seemed to smile.

Except for one: the stainless steel cow. The slot machine that you can buy fresh, raw, cooled milk from. But not today, because there was none left when we got there. Oh well... we had such a nice day that I don't even care.
