Spin

SPINE damage from mistimed tackle. SPIN my wheels waiting for orthopaedic specialist. PIN prick test. IN convalescence. I remain. @130story

Wire

A portrait of Liz and Phil. A poster for November's beetle drive. An insurance certificate. And the neatest wiring he's ever seen. @130story

Air

8 miles home. Tyre felt soft halfway. Stopped, pumped. Same after 2 more miles. Ditto 1 mile left. 800 yds to go. I'm wheeling it. @130story

Move

Don't move? Run? Make a loud noise? Act tall? Play dead? Catch his eye? Look away? Climb that tree? All depends: brown or grizzly? @130story
