The joys of London cycling

On the one hand: cycling through Hyde Park along the Serpentine this morning, with the sunshine and the water, and people walking dogs, and someone on a horse, and general prettiness.

On the other hand: the tosser of a taxi driver who cut me up something shocking at the complicated junction just south of Westminster Bridge (it wasn't even a "didn't check to the left before turning left" cutting-up; it was an "overtake cyclist & then turn left directly in front of her, thus not even being able to *pretend* that I didn't see her" type cutting-up). I swore, loudly, and once again discovered the difficulty of making rude hand gestures whilst wearing skiing gloves.

Yesterday's useful discovery

I have found something to replace cheese! Not actually in a cheese-replacement-in-recipes way, but in a WANT CHEESE NOW way. And what is this miracle-substance? Roasted seeds (5 varieties, with fennel & caraway). They're fatty, and salty, and despite not actually tasting cheesy, hit the appropriate spot to stop the cheese-cravings. Hurrah.

Today I have mostly been colouring in bits of a map with highlighter pens. This really is a most peculiar job I have, at times.

Oh look, hometime.

Bored. Possibly I should watch Buffy DVDs, that's usually a good option. I was supposed to be making a compilation tape for a friend, but I don't feel like it now. Humph. Need entertainment, dammit!
