don't you just LOVE it when you get to the part of your commute where you used to think you were ahead of the game if you just felt able to manage somehow, and find that instead you still feel really strong? i sure loved it tonight. i'm starting to think that going fairly fast uphill is a much fun-er feeling than just going really fast down.

stopped to get groceries. someone in a coffee shop on the weekend commented on my gigantic messenger bag, and asked ' . . . but isn't it really heavy?' well, when it's packed full of milk and rice it is. i bought a more serious u-lock on the weekend to replace my feeble cable one, and i was glad i did since the cage was so full i had to lock up against the railings at work today.

it was chilly enough that i wore my rain/wind pants over my tights in spite of the fact that it wasn't raining. so in love with my pure-wool socks that i went and found some chunky superwash in ansi-bright colours, and i'm making gloves. pink and green stripes
