All hallows' eve
Oct. 29th, 2006 05:13 pmMy thanks to Barbara & Markus (WANOLJ, AFAIK) for their Hallowe'en party last night. For once, I was not massively late - I went straight there after watching the Tooting Bec fireworks display - and wasn't the last one to arrive, by a long chalk! Greetings to
pmcmurray,
munquie,
cuboidursinoid & anybody else whose LJ handles I don't know.
nolley, alas, was too cold-ridden to attend, which is also why I wasn't able to make it to
tobesv &
hawkida's bash in Peterboro'. Sorry, folks. This also meant no bike show at the NEC & no chance to see
the_major. :-(
Nor did I make it to
beermat's housemate's do in Woking, due to the siren call of being able to get home again afterwards.
I cycled back from Waltham Forest to Mitcham at about 3:30 in the morning - or 2:30 in old money. The AA route planner makes that about 17.5 miles. It felt like it. It took 2 hours & I had to stop for breathers twice, which is most unlike me - once on the steps of Keepier Wharf in Limehouse, where I used to live, 10y ago, and once on the hill in Clapham. Mind, that is the longest ride I've attemped in a month, since I fell off and injured my hands. Still, not good - I can't even remember the last time beforelast nightthis morning when I've had to have a toke on my Ventolin inhaler. Not a good sign. More exercise needed, Proven!
