Really? No comment on the political scene? No devastating attacks or caustic comments on the chaotic condem coalition?.....no.
Cycling, or the joys of riding to work....having bought a shiny new racing bike, it seemed only right (when the weather was suitable!) to take things seriously and get some exercise....also expanding waistline needs some serious attention...It was a bit of a chore the first few days but once I got into the routine -load up saddlebags etc, after a few days it became quite enjoyable. Until I got my first puncture...which was a pain. Mainly because I wasn't prepared for it -no spare tube, no tools, so i had to walk home (in full cycle gear!)...and then learn how to repair a puncture. Which took several patches (bad sticking) and several tubes (kept pinching them !)...but got there in the end.
So now the normal way to work is cycle. And I get to see so much more than in a car. Especially dog walkers (and the number who don't bother to pick up their dogs mess...)...and other cyclists (and the number who ride through red lights, on pavements etc).
So it was going well...up until last Monday when a girl stepped out right in front of me near Lendal bridge.....too late to stop, I ran straight into her...she went flying, I went flying...ouch! Luckily I wasn't going as fast as I might have been, so apart from a few bruises we were both ok.
and politics?....I still detest Camerclegg....and this bloody coalition will be worse for the country than that bloody woman was....but I remain hopeful that the abominable condems will explode in mutual loathing...especially if the reaction of the BBC Question Time audiences is mirrored in the rest of the country...they actually booed Maude last week.
