well, that's why god gave us toasters. isn't it?

whoa nelly this morning: WIND. i just looked it up: SE 39 GUST 52. the temperatures are so de-creddingly warm i might as well start tracking the wind instead. yesterday we had over 13 degrees celsius. i rode home tonight in just t-shirt and underwear underneath the rain gear

it made the morning's ride a lot of fun. there wasn't a lot of oomph in the gusts though, not like the last time we had numbers like that but the gusts came more frequently. it was a heck of a headwind, but it's strange: somehow even having to pedal going downhill to maintain any speed didn't feel much like work. i think maybe all the wind was getting underneath me a bit and giving me a bit of a lift. that's how it felt anyway. the bridge was calm, compared to last time; i only felt one little wobble hit me. took the whole thing slower than usual anyway, just in case.

nothing else going on. still working longer hours than usual, and my morning routine is getting later and later in consequence, just to fit in the sleep. feature-complete build coming in tomorrow for a last gasp before the week's break, so really i'd rather not have it get too far out of control and if i wake up too late i might have to drive. saw mr dev lead tonight way late in the evening, heading out to his bike in his reflective vest at about 8pm. 'we the only two still riding!' he said. i'm not the only one keeping track, then 13 commuting days left.
