What is the world coming to?
This evening I almost jumped out of my skin whilst cycling home from the station, hands nicely nestled in newly bought gloves as it's now so freaking COLD in the evenings.
Cycling here takes a LOT of concentration as Japanese cyclists don't pay a lot of attention and come screeching out of side alleys and lanes and appear on the wrong side of the hill or road or pavement frequently.
Anyway, this evening, my body seized up into tense-ready-to-break mode as I saw the shadow of a bike about to come hurtling into me from a small side alley.
The fucker who nearly hit me?
My own shadow.
Now, I'm not saying I'm a ditz or anything but....

LOL at the shadow story - I do that with a hangover and a plate glass window. Loads of mes just popping out of nowhere all over the place - scare the bejezuz out of me.
