In much of Central Asia and China, frequently asked how much Emma, my trusty steed, was worth. "Gift from my parents" I’d say, politely avoiding the issue. Australia. Am I "nuts" they ask. Often. Honest question. Honest answer. "Yes" I admit. Even said it on camera. Piece for local TV news.
Joking of course. After all, I’m early forties, usually refer to Emma and I as "we". Have mascots called Skippy the kangaroo and Wallace the Wallaby. And I’m cycling around the world. Alone. Quite sane. Just wanted to clear that up. Leaving enough time for a quick round of Pooh Sticks before dinner.
