Ted Simon was in his early 40’s when he set out on that Triumph in 1973. Reading it now in my early 40s, in another country, another century, I can relate so much to his outlook, especially when he talks about his personal (inner) journey.

R&I seem to be in two separate tracks running parallel. No common interests (not a new factor) to spend meaningful time together. Problem is that we don’t really have anyone else, and I wonder if we too are drifting apart.

Play it again, Siri.

#marginalian: original watercolours and the story behind the Little Prince.
Sadly, no mention of the rose that started it all for the prince.

Missing Fabio Q.

The 2025 Assen #motogp race the most interesting so far this season. Marc, Bez, Pecco and Acosta toughing it out at the front, Mav passing Morbidelli.

“Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go”

#music

I heard Papa listening to a daily 30 min Bible reading session yesterday night. Now he is watching Qurbana on TV.

R has started feeling a dizzy sensation waking up after lying down. BP seems low, that might be it.

Watched Manchester by the Sea last Sat night. R joined for a while, but she doesn’t enjoy sad #movies. I loved it.

“Uncle Lee, are you fundamentally unsound?”

The choral music used in the movie is beautiful. I wonder how the choral theme was chosen.

Took the borrowed #Interceptor650 for a wash. Then took her for an errand run to Kakkanad + a short glorious scenic ride back via the Kadambrayar route. Roads and trees so clean and green with little traffic, and bursts of sunshine. Joy.
