I didn’t actually suck too much at the race! Battled the wind, lapped one person three times & got cheered :)
Utter balls.
You might have guessed that yesterday had a really lovely evening.
This wasn’t the photo I wanted to take, but there’s not much you can do when the sun is just being the sun like that.
On bikes: I’ve just entered myself into a cycling race along this road on Friday, eep!
Trying something new - a somewhat unstable Linux distro called Elementary.
It’s very clean & floaty & I like it.
Revision is so achievable.
I mean, I’ve wrote shedloads of notes but the lecturer’s slides are usually the best resources & these are frankly impossible to learn from :|
Though I have just learnt a really nice constructor syntax in C++:
Example::Example(string &new_stuff, int &new_other_stuff) : stuff(new_stuff), other_stuff(new_other_stuff) {}
I managed to get three inner tubes for the price it usually costs to get one - don’t think I’ll be buying them from Halfords any more.
I’m not sure if fixing a bike tyre with super glue is the best idea though.
Bought some cycling gloves today. I might be a bit late on getting them though, considering that it’s actually sort of getting warmer. I mean, it’s actually sunny this evening. It’s not particularly warm (in fact, it’s freezing, trying to dry clothes so have to have the window open), but it’s definitely eventually inching in the right direction.
When you think about the fact that this time last year I was having days on the beach, it is still kind of urgh.

I can’t find those silver linings,
I don’t mean to judge.
But when you read your speech it’s tiring,
Enough is enough.
Well this music video is great.
My obsession with Google Now has reached my laptop via Conky.
Also: my woeful internet connection. Carrying on from my ranting post about my flat the other day, the taps now only produce a milky-white water which tastes like alka seltzer - the worst tasting thing of All Time.
Yay for summer. Really, come on now.
No points
For guessing correctly who has just been cycling through gale force winds & blindingly torrential hail for the last ten minutes.
So I replaced the brake pads on my bike the other day - it kind of needed it. Nine months of cycling in hilly Wales with only one brake really takes its toll.
Just had to buy a new inner tube as well, due to broken glass, & bought some bar tape for my brother’s birthday the other day. Spending all of my money on bikes at the moment!
I flippin’ hate this flat
The internet connection used to go out for six hours at a time, nearly always in the evening. The landlord eventually got a new router and instead, it is now consistently unusable. The only thing I can do with it is tweet my aggravation, can’t even get new tweets or responses. It’s really impacting my revision too because I simply can’t access the material online. The fact that the weather is nearly always wet & windy doesn’t make scaling the hill to campus a very fun idea.
& then there’s the hot water, which hasn’t worked all week. Having to get used to cold showers & limited choices of what food I can make because washing anything oily in cold water just doesn’t work.
I don’t really know anyone in my flat, it’s miles away from anyone else I know, dark, suffering from subsidence (of which I’m glad that the world will just swallow it up), cold & I Flippin’ Hate This Flat.
Anonymous asks: What is the meaning of life?
Well, there certainly is a meaning to life, I believe that. I’m not so sure what the meaning is to my life though. It’s what’s made of it really, that meaning isn’t necessarily something I decide.
One thing though because this really annoys me when people get it wrong, the meaning of life is not (necessarily) forty two - that’s the answer to the ultimate question.
