It's been a while.

ingoI had been doing quite well this past year. I bought a vintage style bicycle with a silly basket in December, then a mountain bike in March. Cycling is much easier than walking, and I've fitted my mountain bike (known as The Boulder, because it's a Giant Boulder) out with a nice rear rack and trunk bag so I can use it for days out. The basket bike is known as Gertie, and she is mainly used for dropping stuff off at the post office/picking up groceries/very short excursions.
I am too tired and sickly to do much cycling at the moment, though, plus it's magpie swooping season (swooping is bad) so I've got a 10 visit pass to a nearby pool instead. It's outdoor, but heated. There's something very charming about seeing swallows swoop overhead as I'm doing laps, then dive down to peck up invisible insects. Keep the pool clean for me, good birds.
Recently I've been reading a lot of Norwegian crime fiction. (In English. I haven't suddenly learned to read Norwegian.) Over the past year or so I've played: Skyrim (a lot), Dishonored & its DLCs (I wish I could Blink IRL), Knights of the Old Republic, DA2 (again), and Portal. I haven't finished Portal yet because those double momentum jumps make my eyes hurt. I'm not sure if I will.
