Sitting in the dentist waiting room before my root canal watching news about Gaza.

Sitting in the doctor's waiting room - kind of annoying as I'm not even ill but need to have my prescription modified so I can get the necessary odds and ends for my new blood glucose monitor  ::-) I shouldn't have to see a doctor to do that, but I do ...

Using wifi in der trein. It's a bit troublesome but better than most UK trains.

It was a hell of a fight getting the tandem on.

There's someone selling a medium frame Pompino over on the CTC forum - just saying :demon:

Printing and laminating stuff. A sure sign that there is a Scout camp starting at the weekend.

Ooh. I've got one of they, but it's not me organising. Wherabouts is your camp? (vague recollection you're in NL)  I'm Coming To Tolmers.

The Cheshire Jamboree, wittily called the Chamboree.

So I'm actually printing someone else's stuff, which makes a change.

Cleaning up my digital music library (adding album artwork, correcting diacriticals, etc.).  How have I ended up with no Wall of Voodoo CDs in my collection?

Blimey, are they still going? I saw them back in, ooh must have been 1981, at the Lyceum, or perhaps The Hammersmith Palais.  Cracking cover of "Ring of Fire".

Sadly, they are no longer a going concern.  I was reminded of them recently because of a discussion of cover version of "Ring of Fire" (Social Distortion also get honourable mention).  Having a quick read of wikipedia, I now realise I first heard Wall of Voodoo after they had split up.

[new topic] Meeting someone for lunch next Sunday so trying to find a Thames-side pub with decent vegetarian options.  I'm struggling.  (We did Mayflower last time; Cutty Sark scores poorly for veggie.)  Anyone know how The Angle (Rotherhithe) scores for food?  I've only ever drunk in that one.

It's a Sam Smiths house so probably a bit mediocre, though you might want to ask someone who knows rather than rely on my prejudices.

Listening to the men install my second bike locker. Apparently they don't have the right drill. It's in Leeds. So they want to come back another time.

A quick polite phone call by me to head office. The drill will be here soon and my locker installed at once.

I should bloody well think so too.

I'm sick of being nice about this stuff.

Printing travel docs, then going to the physio-terrorist to see if he can sort out my sciatica.  Mrs T has told me, in no uncertain terms, that she is not going on holiday with me if I am hobbling around like a geriatric!

Back now.

The good news is that the bits that hurt before now don't hurt.

The bad news is thatbnew bits now hurt!

Feeling pleased that I managed to make it out on the bike with the local club this morning. I was thinking of absent friends.
