Hoarding

At the supermarket yesterday it was clear that people had started stocking up on instant noodles. But if you're stocking up, why get the kind that include a bowl? The section with instant noodles in a packet was fully stocked. Surely a food shortage is more likely than a bowl shortage?

102km, 3.5 hours. Now it's bedtime.

A puncture... on rollers... what's up with that?

LEGO time!

Yesterday my morning classes were cancelled. Instead of going for a ride, I went for a walk. I managed about 40 minutes barefoot until the tar got too hot. On the way back I detoured through the farms. Walking is slow, but you notice so much more.

Was just heading out along the coast for a 50km ride, but took a detour to a spot I've intended to go for a long time. Was very impressed and will go back again sometime.
