I had the closest of mear misses last night. Clocked a car approaching from the left along a side road, but it's my right of way, I've got a good front light and they're slowing so everything's cool except ohshittheyarestillgoingFUCK! They just sailed on out into the road. If my pannier had been on the other side of the rack I'm pretty sure there would have been contact and I'd have been T-boned. I have no idea how I managed to avoid them, but how the fuck they didn't see me I don't know. I checked straight after and my front light was still switched on - obviously it was, I only charged the batteries earlier that day.
Got the adrenaline going and the swear words flowing.
This morning was much more pleasant, saw 3 little egrets and 2 big dogs.
