& holding a birthday party,  afterwards a card, handmade, a poem, someone else's, bits typed, bits hand-written, bits embroidered on cloth tags.

& N wanting me to watch a video of a cycling incident. this he leaves me with. two cycle couriers on an errand walk across a huge, extremely steep bank of loose shale inside a large cave. as I walk my bike across the bank it starts to come loose. I am watching thinking I must get through this ok or he wouldn't have been so pleased to show it to me. but the bank just avalanches slowly, pressing me against the wall of the cave, and I don't even seem to find an air pocket. I look ahead for what happens, wondering why I hadn't crossed on the narrow solid ground at the base of the cave- there is footage of the other guy doing that, but again, the avalanche, he's running, may or may not get out.
