So I’m almost cycling in ordinary clothes now.
The exception is my footwear:
Yes, these are industrial-grade safety shoes. Because, after all, cycling is dangerous, isn’t it?
Actually, the reason I’m wearing this is that they’re my work shoes - I visit all sorts of factories, where you really do have to wear shoes with...

To celebrate having got my run yesterday done before 10pm, I had a couple of beers last night. And a nip of that nice Talisker. Oh, and forgot that for the rest of the day, all I’d had to drink was two cups of coffee in the morning, and a cup of tea in...
