lovely

the cycle map i requested from tfl just arrived. looks like they've revamped the cycle maps since i got the complete set a couple years ago. anyway, the brilliant part is, barring any trips to odd parts of london, this map is the only one i'll ever need. it has my place, uni, and central london (the pool) on it. that's all i need.

now i just need to decide if using only the bike for a month or so is feasible. i'm confident i can bike from here to uni without a problem. pretty sure i can bike from uni to the pool. the question is, can i do both AND bike home from the pool in the same day? and can i do that regularly?

the season of paranoia is upon us

first bee in the flat this summer.
no clue where it came from, as i have the windows closed and have for a few days since i haven't been in much this weekend.
it likely died a very confused little bee, as i bashed it multiple times with my orchids magazine. "why is this huge flower attacking me? what did i do?"
