Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Well, actually more like "Ridin' Ridin Ridin'" - back to work today for me, and instead of starting the car for 6 minutes to get to work, I take the bike as my preferred means of transport today :) The weather isn't too bad, it's spitting with rain, but what the hell, I ain't made of sugar and I sure as hell ain't gonna melt.

It took me a little longer than the timed test we did at the weekend, so about 25 mins or thereabouts, which still isn't bad considering that I did have to stop at every junction and wait for a break in the rush hour traffic to get across the road.

Work was fine, got a shed load of stuff done, partly because there was lots to do, but also because I'm getting a little more familiar as to where things are etc - though a brush with dreamweaver templates leaves me a little wary - I quite honestly don't see the advantage to building a site in such a way, when in essence if you can use a decent file include system you get the same result, without code being excessively repeated in every page that you have. Well, thats my view anyway - probably because I'm anti dreamweaver :)

On the way home I take a slightly different route which cuts out a big chunk of riding on a fairly busy part of the ring road, with no paths to speak of. It's a bit of a detour around some of the local estates, but worth it in the knowledge that I'm not readily going to be splatted by a HGV or a tractor gone awry.

Back home and there isn't much doing - I do pasta bake for tea with some garlic bread, which is very nice and then the best part of the evening is given over to watching the usual poop on TV - tonight its about Traffic Cops and bad drivers. One particular incident was quite amusing, where 2 dudes get pulled over for driving a car with 4 illegal tyres and no road tax, the police then discover lots of drugs paraphernalia in the car (tin foil, needles etc etc). So 1 dude realises he's in for shit and admits he's got some heroin in his cigarette packet - so he gets nicked for possession and the car offences, you'd think his luck couldn't get any worse.... it did however when he discovered that his so called heroin, was in fact baking soda. So not only did he get arrested, he also got ripped off...

I can honestly say I think he probably deserved it!
