Biking Total

After a prompting in a comment....

Week three and I'm been surprisingly good with the cycling what with still riding to work in the rain (I was rather wet yesterday). Total miles is around 74. This weekend I'll submit my last piece of coursework and all that's left of my dissertation is some minor grammar and typographical changes before submitting it to the company system to approve it, before submitting it to the university. So I should have more free time after this weekend. I need to start to ride other places rather than just to and from work...

Biking Total

So one week in with my new bike and I've ridden 28 miles. Might not be much but it's better than nothing. Here's looking at another 20 odd miles next week.

Galaxy Zoo

I spent a good few hours yesterday classifying galaxies for Galaxy Zoo. Although there were a lot of unidentifiable blobs there were a few that I thought looked pretty...

Happy Birthday

Kat, I was going to embarrass you by posting one of your baby pictures, but thought better of it. Forgot to send you a card but hope the extra prezzie arrived safely. See, now everyone knows its your birthday. I expect you were trying to keep it quiet.

News

So - I officially have come 'News' with a capital 'N'. Thursday I had a promotion interview. I don't know how it works at other companies but at mine you have to put a pack together all about you and why you deserve it. The first part covers your career to date, your training history, your CV - stuff like that. The next part is all about why you deserve it. You have to select up to three pieces of work that prove your ability and tick all the boxes on the company promotion criteria tree. You have to write a page about each summing up all the things that tick those all important boxes.

Gaming Reflects Real Life

Just like in real life, while those around her stream through the finish, Kat's stuck upside down with her wheels in the air... facing the wrong way!Just like in real life, while those around her stream through the finish, Kat's stuck upside down with her wheels in the air... facing the wrong way!

Driving Around

So I've spent my weekend playing Track Mania, a multiplayer online racing game. I say 'racing' but a good proportion of that I was enaged in the sort of activity as illustrated by the screenshot below ;-)

Dragonfly

Sitting in the garden this morning, one of the cat's, Nancy became transfixed by something in the greenery. I thought she might have heard a mouse rustling but no. She pounced and I saw that she had caught a dragonfly. I tried to take it away from her before she could eat it. Predictably, I took it inside to photograph and here it is.
