Day 273
I had a lovely evening ride today, though it was very windy and consequently difficult to hear my chinese lesson - but it is satisfying to be doing another activity at the same time. I just took my small moleskine and a pencil. I don't know the name of this sort of eucalypt which sheds bark in such a profuse and messy manner, nor of another eucalypt which had this beautiful text 'etched' into it, though it was me that put in into rows. 17 km cycle
