Next time I bitch about how cycling is being more difficult, can someone remind me to pump my damn tyres up? kthxbye

This is not actually as daft as it sounds; we have reasonably recently acquired a stand-up type pump, with a PSI gauge, the use of which this morning led me to discover that what I had hitherto thought of as 'reasonably hard' was in fact right at the bottom end of the recommended range for the tyres. Couldn't get it anywhere close to the top end (though I was in a hurry; I may try again at the weekend), but it made a big difference to how easy it was to move the damn thing along the road.

In other news: had a splendid date with ergotia on Tuesday; stayed in all on my own doing assorted things yesterday (making a Mac-bag for Ben, putting more of my US photos together, playing with the rats, that sort of thing); over at St P this evening (Ben is currently cooking dinner, mmm food); & off to Ain't Nothin' But (blues bar in Soho) tomorrow evening. Excellent stuff. Work also going pretty well atm. Good things all round.

Various people have been tempting me with Synth Culture tomorrow night (kitty_goth, bootpunk, spikeylady). Now, I am already booked *twice* for tomorrow night - a swift half with the League folk after work, & then Ain't Nothin' But with folk from college, dogrando, marnameow, & sbp. But I imagine by about closing time I'll have had my fill of blues (this judging from previous excursions), so it's not *entirely* unfeasible to take myself off to SC at that point. But it might be a bit daft, given that I have Stuff To Do on Saturday (exciting painting-type activity, oh yes) & am going clubbing with Pete on Saturday night. Hrm. Thus...
