Creativity, curiosity, and code
Fuzzy went in for repairs yesterday, mostly because he needed it sooner rather than later, but also because I was driving to work anyway so that I could safely give blood at lunchtime and not have to ride home. But there’s lots of online cycling developments this week. Swindon Cycle Challenge One it the Swindon […]
I quoted from the Bible’s book called “Exodus” only yesterday – here’s a bit again from the 10 commandments: “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below…” It’s hard […]
I’ve not written much lately but have some free time so it’s a catchup kinda day. We’ve been on holiday (write-up of holiday thoughts to come) and feel a bit out of things, but we’re slowly returning to normality. Cycling Continuing long rides into work and doing my 8.5 mile route most days now. Having […]
There is much dispute in the cycling community about the quality of German manufacturer SKS’ Race Blades. After my sister gave me some Wiggle vouchers for my birthday (thanks Sarah), I have now bought some and so thought I ought to chip in to the debate. First of all, for those not in the know, […]
Back in April I read this article in the Guardian and tore it out and left it on my bedside table for comment. Sorry for taking so long to getting round to it. About 4,000 years ago… Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up […]
I’ve had a few minor incidents on my commute to and from work, and a couple of falls off Fuzzy that were my own stupid fault and didn’t hurt anyone else. But I had my first crash involving someone else today. It was nothing major. I, on my bike, collided with a 10-ish-year-old girl, also […]
Just a quick note. As a little joint birthday treat to ourselves, we’ve managed to track down and purchase a Nintendo Wii! We’re not big gamers but we’ve always like fun, multiplayer games, and the Wii is cheap and fits the bill. I’ll be writing more about this incredible time-wasting machine soon, but if any […]
It’ll seem odd that I just posted my holiday notes from the end of March. These have been half written for ages now, and I have a few other notes that need writing to completion before publishing. I’ve been surprised to have almost an entire week of free evenings and an almost free weekend, so […]
Sally and I made our approximately three-weekly trek to Sainsbury’s yesterday. Shopping is always interesting as we both have our little things we’re passionate about. Fair trade, free range, recycled, compostable, organic, low-energy, locally sourced, etc. And we’re fortunate enough to a) have the choice to buy these things b) be able to afford them! […]
I’m strangely obsessed with tracking my cycle times! I think the whole blogging thing, and tracking my life in general, started last year when I wasn’t well and wanted to record some of what was going on so that I could spot trends and try to work out what was causing me to be ill, […]
