Wurk

some leaves
Leaves, deadly when wet (and slightly rotten)

To work again for me today (listen to that I make it sound like a chore... ffs, it's only 2 days a week...). Anyway, I ride the bike in since the weather doesn't look too bad, and I stick to my new route which is a little less perilous, and arrive safe and sound.

I don't really get much chance to stop today, I've got to import a load of content from an old site into a newer design, so that keeps me busy most of the day.

At lunch I have to ring my car insurers to find out my past history of scrapes, bangs and bruises so that Phil is fully equiped with any info he'll need when he comes to renew his insurance and they inevitably ask about any additonal drivers bad behaviour. I couldn't remember what / when the last crash I had was, but it seems it was over 2 years ago now and involved me, a van, a narrow lane and some very slippy leaves...

By 5pm sod's law has decided to pay me a visit, and its pissing down with rain again. Phil kindly offers to pick me up from work when he's done, but that would mean hanging around for an hour and a half, so I decide to suck it up and just head on home it the torrential downpour that is sweeping across my route.

When I do get home I'm soaking... literally dripping with water, and to top it off I need the loo really bad (must have been all the splashing of water everywhere) but before I can go to the loo, I've got to unlock the back gate, unlock the shed, put the bike in the shed, lock the bike up, lock the shed up, lock the back gate, unlock the back door, scamper up the stairs and finally release (so to speak).

Could've been a close call I'd say :)
