burntcopperWent Waitrose, and as Mummy dearest was home, meant I was made to wear the fecking bike helmet. I hatehatehate that thing, due to its evil bulbous and bulky nature, the way it completely overheats your head, and the way it gets in the bloody way when you're not on the damn bike. Yeah, yeah, head protection but it's just more trouble than it's worth for short trips.
Bought stuff, overheated and am terribly sticky, most annoyed that they're building an extension to Waitrose... and have closed off the bike stands. Great, people. Did whole shop metaphorically biting nails hoping no-one would nick it. Admittedly it's a decrepit old thing that needs its tires pumped every time, cranky gears and brakes, rust, feels like it's made out of drainpipes and so on, but you don't know that unless you try and ride it.
And now, I have data entry to do. *joy*. What I want is an ice lolly and an open air swimming pool without chlorine. Reading has no decent swimming pools unless you're willing to get a health club membership - which you inevitably have to drive to. The local pool is a by-word for over-chlorinated and dirty changing rooms and has been for years, no matter what they do to it. :sigh: I want my school pool back, which was a decent 25m, deep, cool, and not over-chlorinated. Have serious yen to go down to Pangbourne and fling self in river.
Also contemplating the weirdness that the fic I should be writing, the Smallville/Gotham crosover that has its occasional odd line written - Chloe has just invaded my brain and demanded to be part of it and is currently moaning down the line to Clark about how annoying the Bat is and that she'd probably be disappointed when the mask finally comes off, as it's not likely to be anyone recognisable, right? I've pretty much stopped watching this show. It's on at the same time as Farscape, Firefly and Angel variously, and these take precedence, being better written, and having equal amounts or more pretty than SV. So I'm writing fic for a show that I've stopped watching. Most weird feeling. Admittedly, all the fic I write for it doesn't actually depend on the show, often being written in the future, when I don't have to deal with such annoying things as Lana, as we know by the time Clark leaves Smallville for college, he's outgrown the Lana thing, and you can also deal with Lex snickering at the whole concept of spandex. You also get the playtoys of Metropolis and the Daily Planet, which are immense fun.
