Astonishing Mileage

Pretty Kiefer contemplating his next move in 24
No rest for the wicked as they say, and well then I must be at the top of the wicked list as I'm up bright and early to get ready for work.
I've every intention of cycling there as well, the sun is out and the weather is nice from what I can tell standing at the window. That all changed however as soon as I opened the door and realised that if I were to cycle into work today there would be a good chance that I might not make it in at all. It is soooooooo hot you can't move without breaking into a sweat, so the chances of me biking 3 miles into work are quickly wiped out as the realisation that a car with air conditioning would be a much more appropriate means of transport.
Nothing much happening at work to say the least, I do have a rather nice hour outside for lunch though enjoying the sun and reading a book, and have decided that taking lunch at 1 rather than 12 is fantastic as it means that I only have 3 hours to work in the afternoon before I can come home.
I also worked out the exact mileage that I did during me extended break away - 751.46 miles in total, it's no wonder I had drivers knee at the end of it all! :)

Not So Pretty Kiefer after blood in The Lost Boys
Back home after work and we have club sandwiches for dinner, very nice too, though you really do have to have the american dry cure streaky bacon to make a good one.
Phil is pretty exhausted and has an early night, whereas I set about catching up on some TV that I missed whilst gallivanting around the country. First off Dr. Who (the final episode of this series) and then 24 (I reckon it was the penultimate episode, but can't be sure).
All in all very entertaining stuff, and it's rather nice to be back home.

3 miles ... that sounds like walking distance :)
Unless you have a widely overspeced airco it's not much use on such a short distance, you're home before the car actually cools down enough to notice. Of course if you get trapped in a trafic jam ...
