I am proud of myself
It's a lovely sunny day, warm but not hot, and I thoroughly enjoyed my first ever 7.5 mile bike ride to work. I'm now hoping it remains non-rainy for the rest of the day, so I can equally enjoy the ride home again :-) -
Further bike joy
Today smiorgan gave me and the bike a lift to work, and after work I went on what was probably my longest bike ride ever: from my office to our other site 5 miles away, and then after a meeting (about dissertation number one, for which a shape and structure is now developing), the 2.5 miles home.

I want to ride my bicycle
A month ago, I met bluedevi straight from collecting her new bike, with an enormous grin, and clearly reluctant to get off the bike and into my car to drive to London. I think if we hadn't had plans, she would just have carried on cycling around Oxford forever ( Read more... ) -
A question for the allknowing hordes of LJ

I've been trying to find it, but have yet to come up with the search terms that will provide me with this information. LJ in "bettter than Google" shock, I hope ( Read more... ) -
Studying updatyness
This is your regularly-scheduled beginning-of-semester rant/glee about being a student. Look away now if you're thoroughly bored of me talking about this :-)
( This semester we have a bit of rant and a bit of glee... )
