This morning's commute and other commuting stories

last tuesday (21 oct) I had a really bad fall from my bike on my commute (cardington st nr euston), trip to UCH A&E with kind stranger, x-rayed eye socket, vomiting, painkillers, stitches, yet i still made it to morocco on wednesday. albeit on a reduced itinerary. i cancelled car hire and planned trip to atlas mountains, aït ben haddou, ouarzazate, sahara.. still it was amazing trip with 38 deg C, mild fuzzyness and headache. I returned with gifts for my daughters, rugs, make-up, smelly soap, argan oil, goat skin slippers (teenage girls love this stuff, no?)

The moral of my story?

1. not sure if i have posted my collision with tarmac early, because i forgotten how to UTFS, due to either mild concussion or early sign of alzheimers
   
2. wet leaves, lack of concentration, no helmet can be lethal
   
3. life is too short
   
4. daughters quoted 'hero-dad with a a lovely scar above his eye'
