The worst thing about cycling in the rain isn't the wet hair, wet shoes or wet trouser hems where they stick from my waterproof trousers. It isn't even the appalling waterproof fashions I have to wear.
For me, it is having to cycle without my glasses: it's either not see as they are covered in rain, or not see as they are safely tucked away in my pocket...
At least it is only a short cycle ride...
My old, but trusty ipod has finally given up with what looks like a hard drive fault; there is a lot of noise, but not much going on. So I have decided that a new machine is in order.
My 20Gb machine was full but given that I only listen to a fraction of it, I have decided to be selective and get a sleek new 8Gb solid state ipod Nano which so far, looks superb. The whole 'shake to shuffle' function looks like a bit of a gimmick, but it looks good, sounds good, and I'm looking forward to taking it on holiday...!
