Inauspicious

That was the start to the day. Thought I'd go out on the bike for a bit before coming to work, I only needed 9.5 miles to hit a target of 100 miles for the week after all, which would only be around 40 minutes in the saddle. Got all layered up against the cold and the wet...only to puncture halfway to Holyrood Park. Couldn't really face the inevitable numbing of fingers that comes with winter puncture-fixing outdoors so just walked the bloody thing home in the rain. Got back, got changed, got to work on time (just).

The day has been a lot better since though, I have to say. Including cooking carbonara with someone accompanied by a 90s drum'n'bass soundtrack over lunchtime, and a wander up The Hill later afternoon.
