actually it was the 4th

end of another week. extension to the contract for another 2 months till the end of september means that I get another 4 days holiday, wipee. Im dazed and confused at the moment. Work is really really tiring me out the old lady next to me is grating down at my reserves and I am not enjoying it really. To make matters worse I cannot talk, rachel is leaving and the bike is temprementally out of action.
Good news though! :) We have a new housemate! She, yes she is nonbloke moves in this sunday when jjames leaves for lands anew. England beat Switzerland in their second group game of euro 2004. im bushed. if only I could talk. then i would be more happy.

130 treck

nr of 130 catches 5ball sometime last week when i was fucking pissed off, pissed off makes good juggling. mostly.
saturday was fucking fine, went walking with rachel and dave near bedford on the 3rd walk from the beds and cambs book, this was really good actually. I was map director chief herr general motherfucker so it was an eye opener for me too. the walk was hilly rivery and about 11 miles. up real early went to town got some tools to repair the road bike and some money to give to tom. went walking. good walk. back at the pad listened to portugal lose to greece in the first euro 2004 game watched american history x damn fine fine fucking movie if there ever was one. also did the 4 mile loop in the evening after fixing the road bike ~20mph av speeed. crashed about midnight.
Sunday. up really really early got the bike kit on down to addenbrooks roadabout via the cash mashine. 52 miles inc to and from the start via thetford nr royston and a tranny cafe on the a10 somewhere. lots of hills, well some, and they were nice but cruel to these flat riding legs of late. 43mph down this awesome hill. It was the slower ride, the b ride is fucking getting faster and longer apparently doing 80+ miles last week. not yet am i at that stage of fitness, or so i think, no testing of the fitness to that extremeness yet. there needs to be an intermediate ride going at a faster pace vs. the c ride for people like me and number of others on the c ride aching to kane it for some. We (me + 2 others) did get the opportunity to kane it for a while near the end after losing the others turning back and doing about 22mph av speed eventually finding the others regrouping and going up the final hill to get back to addenbrooks. watched eng throw a 1-0 win to lose 1-2 against france in agonising zidane excellence. why did we ever invent football? we won the cricket whitewashing nz 3-0 whahay! fuck its still hot. very damn humid too.
.ah.

humid shit fuck bugger

words fail me. im unhappy. rachel is leaving work at the end of the month. she is still working in cambridge full time which i am happy for her for getting a proper non temp job not worrying for the future of employment. do i want a full time job? is this the area of employment that I want to be in? I dont know at the moment, this is good for I am a temp. i like her and being around her and life at work shall be less without her being there.
The bike fucked again, another fucking puncture. I am going to have to do some research or go back to the mountain bike for the future because this is becoming a fucking joke. Spoke to the old man on the dog this evo and they made it through the 50 mile bike ride yesterday for which I am sponsoring them altho vicky was a big drag to their speedy progress (*cough* well everything is relative you know! :)).

The weekend. Friday evening. Donned the biking kit including the new clipless peddles and shoes and maillot jaune lycra shorts under red all but worn out shorts (not fully ready for the full on transgression into roadie mode yet). I went right out the door to the roundabout right there right onto milton road left at the lights right along the road that eventually goes past the back entrance to the science park and back the usual way to the 189. Toppled over sideways at a red light aside some cars very stylish! Good Fast short 4 mile ride about 18 mph average. Saturday up very early did 50 miles nice crowd very very energy deprived at the end should next time eat more before and during the ride, last 5 or so miles were mindless slogging. The gen pace of the group was slow to my standards but i made fast stages on my own or with a girl who also was fast and or a bloke likewise. The route went through very flat land very nice scenery to wickham fen nature reserve cafe and back. Another spoke dissociated itself from my bike, this time the back wheel. Im going to get a nipple key and some more tools this weekend if i can as i need to be able to do this kind of thing on my own! Sunday brigitte dave and I went with the cambridge 20s 30s walk in thetford long journey late because airshow traffic jam huge diversion required. very damn humid especially in the evening walking up very steep climb. Lots of hillage second aftenoon walk best. Voted yesterday by post. euro elections this thurs. Saw third harry potter movie, bit shit to be honest, long boring and not very much magic. The cineworld was more confortable but with almost 30 mins of ads this was far too much hastle for this minute gain in confort. Arthouse still to experience!

Juggling: 33*2 4ball shower NR!!! First proper juggling in at least a week (?). Quondos.

green beenies

long weekend, back to work raining lots of wet stuff drizzle mainly got saturated very on the way route back from the 9 to 5 beat record on way to work by 30 seconds fucking knackered for most of the morning or was that the hectic morning bouncing playing with my mind? generated 3 compounds for submission which is fucking ace half getting jenny off the back which was driving me fucking halfway to the mental house. the weekend.

saturday went to town in intense humidity of afternoon blimp, juggled lots earlier getting 20 rounds of 531 nice! Bought some new strides (at last!) an auzzie (aparently, according in Rachel and Dave) hat, some walking socks map, 2 dvds and 2 musics cds. Saian super crew damn happening fresh french hip hop wow! not really listened to it yet other than some on sat night but its cool. Saturday night drawing routes from the crap map book onto the now new map in excellent luminous yellow cool colour for walking map route! Saw end of pirates of the caribbean which was not too bad will have to see all of movie before detailing full views, and the end half of deep inpact with a very young frodo baggins (elijah wood) although seen it before and was not far different, well.
Sunday went walking with Rachel, a real good walk for 12 miles around the nice rolling countryside around Stilton. Yeah it was good. Rachel map read, last week was far too stressed out for me although i was using the walking books desriptions which were written at least 6 years ago, following the map is the best way of things I think! Im going to have to teachmyself/learn how navigate completely satisfactoraily from a map but for the moment Rachel did an awesome job. Monday went walking with Rachel and Dave (who now was unhungover, palace won the playoff saturday to the premiership so was in absentia due to hungover for sundays walk, too bad) from a place called castor (also near peterborough) for 11 miles around the more flat roads yeah there was lots of concrete walking but there was some woods incl a nature reserve and a golf course etcetera. im far too competitive. but thats a good thing, i thinks!
The rents are doing a 50 mile bike ride next weekend !!! Oh yeah, Im doing one at the end of july :) finished another book today, recently I have started a hell of a lot of books, got bored and moved on to more interesting books. So Ive made an effort and finished one. The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera a part philosophical drinking of life spat out in a more ordered fashion and also a good intermix of 4 or so main characters around the russian invasion of Czechoslovacia (sp?). Damn beautiful in places, very good throughout well worth the read! I started a book the end of last week, cannot remember the name of it. its about this gadge who walks from west to east acrooss the mountains from cape finistair to istanbul acroosss europe. i like exploration travel and far out weird books yeah!
Henman through to french open semis!!!!!!!!!! Watched the final set and some of the second, he won in straight sets versus this arg guy who should have wiped the floor with henman but was crushed by henmans total dominance better playing style.
New Record of 119 catches 5ball if not ritten before.
