Times like this, I want to move back, get a small place away from friends, family, well-wishers and society, where I can live in peace and poverty with just my dog, my cycle and my work.

Transition to Linux is complete. I unconsciously started using Ctrl-W instead of Ctrl-F4 to close tabs in chrome sometime last week. Now that’s all I use.

After today’s 22 mile ride to/around/from Richmond Park, my total for the year stands at 2,158 miles.
Steve, with cooler temperatures already upon him, is at 2,452 miles.
Difference: 294 miles.
With winter almost round the corner, can I catch him?
Also, my initial target for the year was 3,000 miles – still achievable?

Another good bit about yesterday’s ride around LDN: I’m now under 400miles behind Steve in this year’s tally. Just to think about a month ago I was almost 600 miles off.
P.S.: Some credit due to those dying trees in his garden too, that kept him off the road for 2 weeks ;)

Created & fine-tuned batch image processing script in Phatch. There goes one of the last reasons to use Windows.
8 minutes to scale, watermark, rename 300+ photos on my creaking old laptop, while 30+ tabs were open in browsers. I could get addicted to this.

Someone out there doesn’t want me to eat healthy.
For lunch today:
Went to Subway – it had been burgled and was under renovation
Went to Waitrose’s Salad Bar – cleaned out except for potatoes and tomatoes
Went to Sandwich sections at Greggs & M&S – barely half a dozen variants available, none appealing.
Finally, gave up and picked up a Big Mac from McDonalds. Made it without cheese :|

‘He fell, sir. From the terrace. About one hour ago. They say it’s a suicide.’

As I’ve stated before, ever since this season began I’ve been trying to catch up with Steve.
Till this afternoon, I was happy with my cycling this week – over 150 miles and finally gaining some form. Was very sure I’d have made a big dent in his lead when I went to his blog to check the score. Bugger! Seems like he did 100+ miles as well!
Hope the rain stays away, or mild, next week. Will try again … maybe he’ll slow down from all the heat in his part of the world.
