In every single sense of the word.

Hello world, I'd like to announce that it's the last day of November and I'm still cycling to work. And it doesn't involve winter tyres. Because I'm a big sissy on my bike and, I have to be honest about it, the concept of cycling on snow or ice kind of scares the shit out of me, studded tyres or not. By the looks of it I will also be cycling well into December. On the one hand it's annoying because it means that it's a constantly warm(ish) 3-6C with decent cloud cover and drizzle every single day... but on the other hand it means I don't have to use a bus and therefore do not have to face potentially more sick people (loads of peeps are complaining about public transport coughing, sneezing and sniffling these days). The drizzling and darkness have also made me give up officially on running. The darkness, the drizzle, the wind, it's just not fun anymore. Up until it gets cold and dry, then it gets fun again! Now it's officially full on pool season. Ah, those bright lights at 6:15am and that water at 28C, nothing like it to get me out of bed. Seriously. Why wasn't I doing this years ago? And you know what? Finnish grandmas seem to like flowery 3D swim caps. They're awesome. Actually now that I think about it, maybe they're shower caps? Anyone know? They look a bit looser than a swim cap. (In totally unrelated stuff, the number of Finnish grandmas with perms is disappointingly low compared to Korean ajummas.) And you know something else? This is my last "post at some point" photo full of sunshine taken back in October.
