OK, i admit it... perhaps my trousers are a tiny bit big for me now... But yes, i do have a belt and i am wearing it... how easily such problems are solved! I maintain, however, that the majority of the getting-too-big-ness is due to them being old and having stretched... yes, most definitely.
Am super excited about my cycle ride tomorrow... although my body seems to think otherwise. Am incredibly tired due to half-way-around-England road-trip yesterday... We went Bath --> Oxford --> Milton Keynes --> Bedford followed by Bedford --> Luton --> Liphook. Then tea break... then Liphook --> Basingstoke --> Bath. Left office at 10am, got back at 8pm so not home until 9pm!!
Body is also complaining in other ways... neck still aches so possibly it wasn't my sore throat that was doing it - can't turn head to left very well and looking down is painful... will make junctions interesting tomorrow then! Oh, and ankle has decided to join in the fun with a bit of tendonitis flare-up. Thankfully hip has settled down again after complaining lots because of super long car journey yesterday.
The weather also seems to have an opinion on the matter.... although it does only say 'light showers' now on the bbc website which is a vast improvement on the 'heavy thundery showers' that are currently hanging over Bath (or possibly 'the bath', as it may become if the rain keeps up much longer!)
We now have a map and some vague idea of where we are going... and i have mostly packed too... even managed to buy a new battery for my speedo - got to get the length of journey recorded! Actually managed to calibrate my speedo correctly for the first time ever - found a website that told me what setting to put in (kind of lost the instructions before i changed bikes a year ago!) So might be able to see how fast i am *really* going - although i doubt it was too far out before at any rate.
Anyways... a currently making a CAD model of a plastic bottle... no, honestly... i believe Xanthe's *headdesk* is in order...
