The world's a different place when it's bathed in sunlight..

What a gorgeous day today! It almost felt like Spring. I dug the patented Rory Velociped out and had my first bike ride of 2011. Only a few miles, but it was glorious. What a day. You can tell I haven’t cycled for months, as my thighs were burning like hell within minutes and my nuts feel like they’ve been kicked by a donkey. Worth it, though. I called Philippa with tales of my ride in the sun and she reacted unexpectedly, and quite badly. I thought she’d be happy for me, but she made some comment about me wasting time that could have been spent looking for a job. Probably just a bit of jealousy, but hurtful when it comes from someone you really love deeply. Still, sod her - her mood isn’t going to stop me feeling cheerful!
