Sunset

Yesterday I was asked why I went to an ice rink, to stand around while people skated. The reason is that I wanted to go for my daily walk while the sun, or at least daylight, was still around. If I had set off later, then I would have been caught by the night, and I would have missed walking in daylight. At this time of year, if you don’t go for a walk before 17:00 you’re likely to walk in the dark.

Yesterday I went for an evening bike ride in Geneva and I chose to take the train home, rather than cycle. In the process I saw that trains are not that convenient later at night. The reason for this is that they’re smaller, so the space for bikes is restricted. A person boarded before me so he was able to put his bike down and go and sit. I was after him so I was stuck standing with my bike.
