bike

I happily spent Tuesday with Panda Ariel at the bike shop putting together the last bits of my new recycled bike. It was the first sunny day in a while and I made sure I got a good dose of vitamin D for my ill body. I'd been sick (and am somehow worse now) all week, so it was nice to be out in the sun.

We rode our bikes to gertrude street and on the way there i had this vision of Pandas, Viv, Sarah and I bike riding and going on a picnic in the springtime all happy together. Hahaha - obviously missing class excursion fun times.

We spent some the evening sitting in the park. We watched and commented on keen joggers and yelling coaches as they ran by. I was happy to just sit and talk under trees that sounded like the ocean. I listened to many stories of his life; some of which made me feel at ease and ever thankful to know him.

We met Andii and I had dinner with them at a dumpling place. I listened to them talk about different classes and assignments and we all stared and laughed at the cups that moved by themselves across the the table. I cried a bit inside when they told me they ate at Din Tai Feng when they were up in Sydney.

It was a peaceful day with the Pandas.

It felt just like the first time I hung out with them.
