Domestique

I deferred riding to Martinborough today.  Weather conditions look much better for Monday to do that.  Although that of course means a long solo ride return and no one to talk to and have coffee with when I get there.

I think my body needs a bit of recovery from yesterday.  This is a good thing.  I'll do a few hours in the garden as there is still a lot to do to get it in shape before I start my next job.  Not that I have my next job yet, but need to work on that mental operating space that my gardening days are numbered because I will be returning to work very soon.  I'm hoping I can draw together the relevant dots re that in the first week of August.  The first week of August of course being next week.  Also, the incentive of committing to double RPM sessions may also be an incentive to find paid work!  Not that I need an incentive. 

I'd like to use the analogy in a job interview that as a team player I am a Domestique.  I probably wont.  It's a good word and my word of the week.  It's an interesting concept.   No winner of the Tour de France could win without the contribution of the Domestique.  Here a couple of web links re the Domestique:
