Cycling
I bought a new bike, I got it on Saturday. So far i've cycled 125km on it, how mad is that. It had it's first fall today.
It was actually quite funny, I was cycling down a really steep hill at a handy enough pace. I went round a bend and there was a car coming towards me. So I put on my breaks and my lovely new tyres which are designed for speed on the road decided to go for a bit of a skid and my back tyre was weaving all over the place. So I think then I pulled my front break a little hard and my back wheel jumped over the handle bars. I jumped out of the way, totally unscathed and let my bike fall. I think i might have given the driver of the car a bit of a fright, he stopped his car and was like "you fell..." to which i replied "no my bike fell, I jumped out of the way". I hopped back on my bike and continued on my merry way.

I'm still knitting and crocheting and baking and unemployed until the end of the month. Then I have two months of work lined up. Woo hooooo... Constant money for a whole two months, i'll be rich.
Right i must go, i've shopping to do.
