I did. Polish/Aussie xmas, showing Mal’s folks around London, and then a relatively quiet NYE in the city watching some cool fireworks. I think I was partied out by the time NYE rolled around anyway so it was good to give the internal organs some rest (that’s if I have any left).

The crazy critters at BCH put me to shame when it comes to xmas decorations, especially since I had none. I was able to bask in the glow from everyone else’s xmas lights (seems the Westies love that kind of thing), safe in the knowledge that Al Gore won’t be hunting me down for having an excessive carbon footprint.

London is feckin’ great to be riding around these days. The weather is nice (relative term) and traffic is at an absolute minimum. “There’s no rest for the wicked” must surely apply to me then, as I seem to be one of a very small minority who are actually working in London at the moment! Where did everyone else go? Did Ryanair have another ticket special or something? I’d be jealous but the lack of a 2k-long traffic jam on fUxbridge Rd. suits me just fine! The fixie is back together (good thing since the Ribble is now dead) and out in force. I really should hunt down a smaller gearing setup though as the current 46-17T is fine when the roads are barren but tiresome when the stop/start nonsense begins again. Yeah and I should also do this and that and this and.. “oh look, a website about procrastination..”

Merry Xmas and all the best for 2007 to anyone I didn’t say similar to already. Stayed tuned for more ranting and whining when the good mood wears off.. should happen some time tomorrow.
