It didn't so much rain as the sky seemed to fall in every day. My bike was out of action anyway as I'm waiting for (the infamous) H Man to sort me out with some spacers. I've been messing around with my back wheel so much that my brake is completely out of alignment which means it currently sounds like an irritated goose, a fact which amuses me no end.

Go on, do it now before you prepare to read the rest of this drivel. Feeling better? I know I am. I've written and rewritten this introduction many times. Basically, it's been very hot and sunny but I didn't get chance to make the most of it since I've been working constantly to cover my mates holidays. The start of my holiday period coincided with a nasty http://www.wearehomegrown.co.uk/blog/2008/08/funky-kingston.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Loop)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24374374.post-6822284844831975359Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:51:00 +00002008-07-07T00:41:18.538+01:00The past couple of weeks have felt more like deepest Winter than high Summer. The weather has not been conducive to... well anything really, so I've spent lots of time just staring at the Internet. When I have had to step outside I saw lots of bats and toads - very witchy. We'll start off with a (vaguely?) weather related issue - climate change.

Still, that means there should be something to interest everyone (blatant lie). Congratulations to Ed Salter (BlewBMX) for making it to the finals of the Times Young Photographer competition.

There is a sizable squadron of fluffed up, yellow-faced fledglings twittering away in the garden. I saw the piebald blackbird on my way home from work the other day, his whole head is white and the rest is black so he looks like a tiny Bald Eagle. On Friday Thom (who happens to have started a nice new blog which you can find here) and I went down to Newgale and we http://www.wearehomegrown.co.uk/blog/2008/06/hideaway.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Loop)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24374374.post-5313758328526744966Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:44:00 +00002008-06-14T18:54:09.578+01:00 We have seen a week of dozy buzzards, a sparrowhawk in the garden and dueling greenfinches. It was also a week of pain - Tuesday morning saw me trundling down the cyclepath to work, travelling at a fair old lick and then decelerating rapidly as I skidded across the tarmac on all my delicate bits.
