jackGone for a short cycle ride ✓
I originally planned to do more than this this weekend, but even for an hour along the guided busway it was still nice. I'm sure for what they spent, if they didn't have the buses, we could have had a cycleway hundreds of times nicer, but it's still one of the nicest cycleways in Cambridge.
However, I temporarily can't find my bike pump. It's two foot tall, where on earth could anyone have put it it's not obvious?
Ordered a lot of books on Amazon ✓
There were a few series (Anthony Price, Stephen Brust) that I'm reading my way through steadily, but if I didn't order the next one as soon as I read the previous, it slipped off my "to buy" pile. And several sequels, random recs, and randomly interesting books off the top of my "see if I want to buy this book later".
I hadn't realised, but buying almost all books on amazon or in e-book form has the advantage that most of the time I can search my email notifications as a quick way to check which books in a series I've read or not.
I'm slightly embarrassed to get a steady stream of small parcels to work, but it seems better than gambling they'll fit through the letter box.
