Almost home

why is it that I don't feel the slight downhill nature of my journey to the bus stop but I do feel the steep incline on the way home.

Yes, logically I know it is the same gradient both ways however, my legs do not believe in logic.  Rather they are quite convinced that there is a hydraulic system under the path which makes it steeper on the way home.  That my legs have their own little paranoia should perhaps worry me more than it does.

It is however true that I do the reverse journey slower, which is odd as I am much more interested in getting to my destination in this direction.

Back up the steps, through the gate and ahh HOME !
