purplecthulhu at 11:13pm on 05/08/2008Time in, a bit over 45 minutes, time back a bit under 45 minutes.
This is despite The Strand being such a mess this morning that I had to walk a good chunk of it pushing my bike. No idea why it's so bad at the moment - no dead buses or idiot FedEx vans to explain it today. Time back was complicated because of a diversion near home so all in all not bad. Trip in this morning was a bit damp, but that helped keep things cool. Preferable to this evening in fact as I got home so sweaty that I needed a shower! Rain kept the number of annoying tourists down, but today's prize goes to the cyclist who was circling in the middle of the road on her mobile phone ignoring oncoming traffic ie. me. Audible warning device deployed. And to the promenader who made disparaging 'ting ting ting' noises as he wandered all over Prince Consort Road, what would you prefer - ting ting noises or a bike up your arse at 15 miles an hour? The temptation to get whatever has replaced the old Zound so I can make airhorn noises is quite severe...
Pretty sure I heard one of Big Ben's bongs as I went down the Mall at 10am.
