Cool running

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Now that I have put coolant in my bike, the engine doesn't get quite as hot as it used to. Why didn't anyone tell me? This sort of information really ought to be in the manual.

Just curious

Eddie Izzard is cool, right? I'm just askin'.

Balloon sighting

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

I saw a hot-air balloon hanging over a town on my ride in to work this morning. There was some writing on the balloon, but although my route took me initially closer towards the balloon I had to veer off away from it before being able to read the ...

Respect and cuddles

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Apparently, it was 'Respect at Work Day' yesterday, which perhaps made it a little unfortunate that I wore my VG Cats t-shirt that has Aeris raising a fist and saying 'I'm going to start wounding you now!' I tried to placate people by pointing out that it makes sense ...

Birthday catgirls!

Shrinkage

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Oops. I'm not really one to take much note of washing labels on clothes, trying to avoid buying anything that is dry-clean-only, or with other such restrictions, so that my laundry is as simple as possible to complete. I generally throw everything in to the washing machine and ...

My two suns

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Summer is here again, hopefully for longer than last year's abysmal Summer. The bright sunshine means that I am wearing my sunglasses whilst riding the bike, as I have no other means to reduce sunlight glare when riding. The sunglasses I have aren't exactly sunglasses as such. I bought ...
