Hello! Ok, I’d forgotten about blogging this week, I’ll admit it.<\/p>\n

I’ve now remembered.<\/p>\n

Here be a summary of Tuesday to Today!<\/p>\n

Tuesday: Dossing<\/b><\/big><\/p>\n

After the “fairly busy” past couple of weeks, I decided to doss about and not do a great deal today. It… was good. :)<\/p>\n

Wednesday: Cycling<\/b><\/big><\/p>\n

I decided to get off my lazy ass today, and headed out on my bike for a cycle along the seafront. A couple of hours and countless windswept miles later, I was knackered but happy – man<\/i>, the coast around here is gorgeous. Cliffs (with cliff-top paths and under-cliff walkways), rocky pools, occasional golden sand patches and the big ol’ waves of the English Channel… awesome.<\/p>\n

Oddly, on the way East I was finding things very easy in terms of riding – hell, despite the big waves it seemed the wind wasn’t actually hitting the shore. I was flying along with no wind resistence.<\/p>\n

Yep, that’s right. I was cycling with the wind behind me.<\/p>\n

Average speed on the way out: 21mph.
\nAverage speed on the way back: 8.5mph.<\/p>\n

Hence the “knackered” part :) Still, I now know that the Brighton Marina’s only about a 15 minute cycle ride from home, so cinema visits’ll be nice and easy.<\/p>\n

In the evening I popped round to Rai and Matt’s place to say hello and, ahem, sponge off their Internet connection. We also decided to enjoy (well, I say<\/i> enjoy…) Skyline<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I… wow. <\/p>\n

Let’s put it this way, Matt managed found out that LoveFilm<\/a> supports a 0.5 star rating on a film.<\/p>\n

Ker-ist. I wouldn’t watch it again with yours. Whatever that means.<\/p>\n

Thursday: Wandering and Funfair<\/b><\/big><\/p>\n

Today my ex-workmate and ex-landlord Henry came down to see me in Brighton (and deliver the ironing board and office chair that didn’t quite make it into my car this weekend), which was great.<\/p>\n

We spent the day walking around Brighton city centre, over to the Marina, along the pier and back. We did a fair bit of nattering.<\/p>\n

Oh, and eating. Yesterday was an amazing day for great food:<\/p>\n
