First day on the bike

Posted on By admin

I biked in to work this morning. Took me about 20-25 minutes, and it wasn’t too bad. The road is fairly busy but the people aren’t too aggressive on it and there are bike lanes for most of it. Still, in the coming days/weeks, I’m going to look for a quieter track. There are some really fun downward hills on the way in, which means that there will be some really nasty upward climbs on the way home. Not looking forward to that one :)

Update: it took me 19 minutes to get home. I might have used a bit more assistance, but I was going 45 kph for a while, when the motor kicks off at 25.

We cut Bean’s hair. It was a two person job, but at least he doesn’t look feral anymore.

Also,  after more than a year of waiting, Katy has finally gotten her well deserved beef Wellington. Highly passed off with Aligro though. The pate I was going to use seems to contain pistachios,  which were not listed in the well scrutinized list of ingredients. Improvised with some boursin in the mushroom duxelle.

Also, I ate too much

Polar Bear MIA

Great drama averted tonight: polar bear had gone awol! Turned the flat upside down to no avail, and after a round of “I didn’t carry it, did you carry it?” Katy and granddad went to retrace their steps from the walk they had coming back from Bean’s school. Turns out that the very kindly ice cream man they stopped at to get ice cream had perched him on top of the stacked chairs next to his closed up kiosk. We’ll get Bean to draw him a thank you picture.
