Creativity, curiosity, and code
Both Fuzzy and I have been ill of late. I’ve had the same cold (I think) three times now and still feel like I’m fighting it off. There seems to be a lot of nasty bugs around this winter. And Fuzzy – the poor bike – started, well, it started with the odd clank and […]
I don’t really like the word “Evangelist”. It conjurs up visions of shouty men in the middle of town telling people that they’re all going to hell at the tops of their voices. Either that or suit-wearing professional speakers who hold big Christian rallys in stadiums. Not me at all, and, despite my strong Christian […]
I need to write about this incredibly important subject to warn you of the dangers of a sport that I’ve recently taken up. This sport requires: excellent balance; pin point precision; dedication and repeated practice of repetitive actions; a good head for numbers. Yes, I’m not kidding. I’ve taken up darts!!! We have a cultural […]
This is a completely blatent note to self. But it deserves a note on why I have to make it. I have an article on the web. I want to save a reference to it but the site isn’t one I’m following with Google Reader via its RSS/Atom feed. Normally I’d spot the article on […]
There’s a few little notes I wanted to make about cycling before I left for Sicily. Better late than never! An Almost-Accident The week before we left for holiday I nearly had a nasty accident. There’s a bit of my ride to work where I head downhill on a cycle path which then meets the […]
My cycling activities seem to be governed by sods law. Here is a list of how I think the rule applies to cycling. The speed a cyclist attains is inversely proportional to the effort put in. In the last couple of days I’ve done three rides. Monday I flew without even trying. Tuesday I went […]
I rode to Cholsey today. I last did the 35 mile trip on my bike just over a year ago. It was the same time of year, probably the same kind of weather. But last year my health wasn’t great. I had a heavy, clunky, cheap bike. Since then I’ve acquired Fuzzy (or possibly, Fuzzy […]
Cycle mileage has been down of late as recent posts have explained. But, in Sally’s absence, I’ve lined up a 34 mile ride to visit my Uncle in Cholsey (route something akin to this ) and I’m REALLY excited about it! I’ve just put some a new front tyre on because some shards of glass […]
Another, fairly dull, cycling-related post I’m afraid. More on the garden, slugs, harvesting, music and other stuff to come when I have some time. If that’s not a tempting proposition that’ll make you bookmark my blog then I don’t know what will. Hey, I lead an exciting life!!! 😉 It’s been pretty wet lately. And […]
Sorry – this is quite dull and is really just a note-to-self on fitness progress. The cycling has been going really well of late and I put in a record 254 miles in July. I’m not injured and I’m feeling strong and fit, which is great! August, though, for various, non-cycling-related reasons has prompted lots […]
