Scotland 2025 Day 10 - A Photographic Memory

Being that I am now in my 60’s and that both my uncles suffered with dementia I figure that there are not too many years left before I won't remember any of this. It is the core reason why I write into this blog and produce - eventually - videos of the journeys that I take on my bike.  Its all for me!  But very happy if you are enjoying some of it too.  🤗

God willing there will be a future where at worst when the care assistant says to me ‘good morning Mr Tyssen watching your videos again are we’ that I will again say not too politely to her ‘feck off’ and then get on recounting my electronic memories. Perhaps one day but not yet not yet. 

Until then and because I want a day off from writing poop  here are some things to think about 

1. When I finally produce my Scotland 2025 tour video of which we have taken fecking gigatons of the raw stuff it will include some M83 music again very much like this:

2. In conjunction with images such as these - look at them as you play the music …









Alone they are good. Very good. However when mixed together with the music they are stupendously tasty as you can see. 

Moreso than Jelly Babies - even with a bit of nutmeg on them 😋

Time for breakfast!  Away to Perth today. Some say an easy ride?  

Ciao for now

Cycling NZ26 - Day 6 - Right Here. Right Now.

It’s 0240 am Zulu and I cannot sleep. My legs are screaming at me demanding to be fed.   I crawl out of bed to retrieve the cold crumple of paper wrapped chips from the waste basket and start to eat the greasy nastiness from within the printless sheets.  If I cannot sleep I must at least write a final letter before my execution at dawn.    To explain to you all why I am guilty of letting loose my thoughts, full of hairy melons and balloon dogs and Mr Softees and the like.  I lay on my back with the small bed side table lamp projecting monstrous demon shadows onto my cell wall. I listen carefully to the beautiful music that’s being riven with full force into that space between my ears; a playlist specifically selected for this moment in time.  I start to cry.    Not a sound out of me. Just rivulets of water cascading down my cheeks. Stoppit now Wayne, for you are dehydrated enough. Tears on your pillow sadly will not drown your sorrows in this life...

Cycling NZ26 - Day 7 - Mozzie Hell!

It’s 0408 zulu. My sleeping bag is full of dead mosquitoes.  Only a short update here to confirm that I am still alive.  Yesterday was start of the Timber trail. An unearthly hard grade of rock strewn washed out trail and logging track. No place for a fat man and his moose of a bike. No real beauty in this place as all I can see for miles and miles is native virgin vegetation all around.  Best laid plans n all that. Well, because I did not know what lay ahead some rearrangement of the bike was needed so that I could fit it out with stores. Cold rations.    A large pack of soft white tortillas, jars of peanut butter and hazelnut and chocolate spread. Cheese triangles and smoked chorizo plus handfuls of chocolate bars. Plus huge quantities of water. The bike now weighs a ton.  One thousand times perhaps I wrestled the sucker over washout and fallen trees and up impossible grades. For this is a place no man even with a horse should ever venture.  Toward t...

Cycling NZ26 - the 6 Million Dollar Bolt!

It’s 3.36 am Zulu. Local Time.  My name is Jake Sully.  I’ve just awoken from a very deep dreamless sleep. So unlike me except for the very very early rise. There’s a mixture of apprehension and even more apprehension coursing through my body as I lay in bed typing this codswallop into my phoney friend.  The flight to New Zealand was uneventful. Long, yes. Boring, yes. Uneventful. Unlike in the film AVATAR , Kathy Pathetic’s wannabe Boing Dreamliner completely failed to put me into deep hibernation. Desperate to be away with the fairies was I but no, not yet, Wayne. Eventually perhaps when Kathy has had her way with me and at a time yet to be given to me by the Lord of the Rings.  I will eventually lose my thrust on this long long flight amongst the stars and come back down to Earth. Yesterday morning I was born again into this distant Pandorian world. Fed by a satiated Kathy a plate of malformed scrambled eggs, cardboard bacon and a brown coloured liquid which might...
