28 miles

I’m sure you’ve all been in the situation where you have a shirt covered in lint, and nowhere to hang it. I know I’ve been there. It’s those moments when you think to yourself, “What I really need right at this moment is a coathanger that folds in half to become a lint brush.

Well I for one need not fear any longer!

Today Sarah’s parents very kindly delivered a wardrobe and chest of drawers that we have inherited. At no extra cost, hanging inside the wardrobe was this: (sorry for the rubbish phone-photo)

Hangar-brush thingy

I found it highly amusing, but then I’m weird like that.

Last weekend was good. I did my sponsored cycle ride ok. We got off to a great start with my Dad exclaiming that his cycling gloves were rubbish and were more padded on the outside than the inside. After I instructed him to put them on the correct hands, we set off. No mishaps and about 80 minutes later, we arrived at our destination on calshot beach and enjoyed a good barbeque and sit down.
We decided it had been such a good ride that we would cycle home as well. We went at a much more sedate pace on the way back along a more scenic route, even enjoying a short ferry ride across the Southampton water to break up the ride.
We clocked up about 28 miles in total (which I know isn’t really that much, but it was only a small event) and I raised just over £100 doing it, so all is good.

On the sunday I went to St andrew’s church which is who I made the 070707 flyer/poster for. I’ve been asked to run the visuals on the night as well, so I went to spy out the available equipment and also to meet another guy who’d seen the poster/flyer and wanted me to do some work for him too.

I’ve started arranging for both jobs and on top of that I’ve ordered my Macbook pro at long last. I feel like I’m doing proper businessy type things. It’s a really odd feeling.

    What an ace gadget! I don’t know how I’ve been living without one, although I’m not sure about the Apple Mac :-)

    I do love the magnetic PSU connector on them – Top idea. I’ve seen too many laptops take a final dive after someone has tripped over the cable!

    Stephen: A very informative podcast, yet somehow redundant. Very rarely do you ever hear of a Mac user converting to PC. Those that have are mainly out of necessity – to be compatible with PCs – no longer a problem. Yet when Mac users go back to PC, they all go yuck.
    What more do you need to know… In any case I’m dual booting the mac with windows, so if I ever need one, I have a PC anyway!

    Dogga: seriously. Macs are sooo good, and you really should get a coathanger/brush. It’s changed my life.
    The magesafe connector is cool, but the only time I’ve ever seen them in action is when people have yanked it to see if it works!
