Cycle ride of the day:

 
The wind has gone back to north-east and about four Beaufort. It's never two days the same; just like the back roads that I travel, today two cars and two scooters past me. One of the car drivers was cared of me, she pulled up on the green verge to let me pass. The road is four metres wide, the car about one eighty and me I need less than one metre, she gave me three and a half, thanks :-)

 
 

 

The Drop of the Day:

 
I dropped my iPhone. Shit, the display is shattered. It can be repaired, but first I'll have to have a replacement. Well, I found a new iPhone (well nearly new, a display piece from a T-COM shop) for three hundred Euros. Like my current phone it's an iPhone 4s, not the newest model but good enough for me; I hope Apple supports the model for at least another two years then my new one will be the same age as the current phone and I can drop it.
 
 


Bye, see you all tomorrow. Have a good day
