OK, this is nervy. But Roger's back problems are causing me to have sympathetic back pain. I'm too empathetic! To make my back feel better, I'm going to offer unsolicited advice.
Every back is different, but I was able to cure my back problems using Esther Gokhale's book "8 Steps to a pain-free back". It doesn't work instantly but for me, it led me carefully to a life without major back pain. I can't recommend it highly enough.
I hope Roger heals and doesn't need it! But if he's interested...
An appropriate name, it appears.

1 year agoBeautiful shot!
1 year agoSo cozy! It makes me feel claustrophobic just looking at it. I’m so glad I’m not a snail!
1 year agoRachael and I had a few for the first and last time last fall, somewhere in southern Spain. They were one of a series of small delicacies. Interesting.
1 year agoChuckle!
I tried snails once... while in Spain in 1977. Seemed chewy with a hint of dirt flavor. Maybe I'm just not European enough.
I think I'll pass on that...

if you were French.
Looks like sea lavender

Smash all you can!
----------!!
They are edible though... but taste like dirt to me. In any case, you can cook them up if in a pinch for lunch.
Looks like Sunday afternoon in a French country town. Amazingly deserted!

Hi Catherine,
1 month agoA long time follower - from CGOAB onwards.
Love and chuckle over your larrikan, irreverent, prose style and severely envy your photographic eye!
However, I wonder why you got a Surly with no suspension! Gel-seats aside, why not invest in a Thud-buster or at least wrist-saving front suspension.
Also a bridge lover - along with concrete formations (natural..NOT!) but soooo practical.
I so wish to ride your trails around lower Qld (Surat/Roma) as well as areas in South Australia.
Looking forward to your next adventure/tale on two wheels.
Anytime you want to re-visit Northern Rivers Rail Trail, send me a message.
