Oh good, guess where I live. and it looks a bit grim out of the office window too.


Been stuck at home indoors all day. It just hasn't stopped raining all day. And it's bleedin' cold too. Not envying cycle commuters today.

Managed to get stung by the last remaining wasp in the country being pushed by a 30+ mph wind, felt like I'd been shot the little swine!!! Managed to dodge the rain to even out the karma though! huzzah

I'm not sure if this is a commute but I've just cycled to my Dad's work place at Bond Street Station on Oxford Street. I got lost once, and took about 8 or 9 wrong turns on the way.
Considering this was my first ever ride in central London I think it went okay. I can't get used to the peds though... I barely stopped ringing the bloody bell. I definetaly would have enjoyed it more had I had mudguards and or a sense of direction though.

Something managed to avoid my glasses this morning and got into my eye, thought I got it out but my eye has become red and very sore:eek:.
So decided on a short ride home as the wind in my sore eye was quite painful. Ended up involved in a little SCR easily pulled away into the wind but my eye was in pain so eased off and nearly got caught:ohmy:.

Oxford street. Say no more. Peds are fun here in Central London, especially going home!

Got soaked on todays return commute and it was only from Marylebone to Waterloo today. I must say there is a case for mudguards, my ass was soaking.
