So, I started out this morning, got 50m/yd when I realized I had forgotten my coffee so I turned around and got it. Started out again, then realized I had forgotten my safety glasses but decided I wouldn't need them. About 1km/0.6mi into the ride, I got grit in one eye and regretted not going back for the glasses. The grit was cleared out quickly and no issues during the rest of the ride. When I unpacked my backpack at work, my glasses were packed in the outer pocket!!!

Beautiful, mild morning, 8C/46F but a strong wind from the SW which was a headwind for 2/3 of the commute. I didn't wear anything under my helmet, lightweight gloves and my jacket was half open The temperature is forecast to drop to slightly below freezing by the afternoon with 2-4cm/0.8-1.6" of snow tonight. I brought a bit of extra stuff for the cooler temperatures going home.

Here's two photos I took on the way today, both handheld (but I leaned the phone against a pole for stability). I'm quite happy with them.
