Bikes Mechanics ...

My bedroom is the new local bike workshop ... 2 bikes were dismounted there yesterday, I was trying to fix a couple of buckled wheels just a second ago but got frustrated and moved to project "remove and clean cassettes off all sets of wheels I own" ... however that also became a pain in the bum when I was not strong enough to undo the bloody cassette off the Roval Fusee ...

Tomorrow, project 'Let's build that new fixie ... again' should also take place in the workshop ... I am lucky enough to have a large room ( that's actually the biggest room in the house) ... also equipped with an ensuite bathroom I just repainted today after work as well ... ( right now I have both white paint and grease all over me ... )



Yesterday I set up the iPod that Al gave me. All my newer CDs are in my car at the garage, so i was only able to upload the few albums I had on my PC not updated from a couple of years. I was amazed to find some of my favourites tracks ... I know it's not very Rock & Roll, but Sting's Mercury Falling has to be one of the greatest albums that I had in there, just because it reminded me so many things. It was released in 1996, I was 17 years old ... this album is a true 'Winter' CD', a truly deep album , with aerial sounds and beautiful lyrics ... it's about the winter turning to spring, the rebirth of love, life, nature. I am not a music critic, the only I can say is that I listen to the album twice in a row today in work ...

I can't wait for the weekend and the cycling .. as usual, hoping to cycling a few hundred Ks :)

And the Girly paragraph of the day: OH MY GOD Trinny and Suzannah are in Dublin ... I wonder if they know about Blanchardstown Shopping centre ... I think they'd give up and hang themselves ...
