Cycling without hands...
...any tips greatly appreciated ;-)
Lying in bed last night I heard the familiar sound of my friend the mosquito. There have been two in my room for a few days now and they just don't seem to want to give up. So. I killed one of them.
In fact I was very cunning in the deed. I used the light of my mobile phone to lure the winged fiend to the white part of the wall near my bed. I then stayed very still and waited. BAM. My self defence/kick boxing/karate lessons have actually come in use for something. I hit the wall so hard I'm certain my housemate, if she had been in, would have definitely woken up. And the mosquito? Splatted nicely. I cleaned up the poor critter with a tissue and it's now in my bin. Huzzah! One down, one to go. Mosquito numero due, you have been warned.
I move on to elaborate on my latest work in progress: cycling with no hands. This task it seems, is impossible. But I know, thanks to Luke 1:37, that I will achieve it and be able to cycle the length of the bridge that I often take to and from work without holding the handlebars. It's ruddy hard and as yet I've not beaten 5 seconds so I am pretty far from the skills of the guy I saw cycling without his hands the other day: he took a tissue out of his backpack and blew his nose! Incredible.

I Absolutely loved the story of the assassination of the mosquito number one! It's a real blood curdling scary scary story but funny at the same time picturing yourself still in the dark waiting for her (or him?)
