things i love thursday (22)

Thank all so much for all your lovely comments here, on Facebook and on Twitter about my bicycle related tumble yesterday.  All is well.  My bike has been fixed (it needed a new front wheel and a new back tyre – impressive no?), and I am back in the saddle this morning.  I feel OK too, a little nervous of bollards, cycling a little slower than usual and rather achey in the hip, knee and neck.  But OK.  And you should see these rainbow bruises!

So things I love this week?

*  Avenue Cycles – the best bike shop in the world.  It was 4pm by the time I managed to get my bike to the shop and by 9.30 this morning it was fixed (bar a dodgy brake cable which is going to get fixed this weekend).  So if you’re in the Cambrige area, take your bikes here please!

*  Himself, for picking me up and dusting me off, literally and emotionally.

*  Mum, for picking my bike up in the car when I couldn’t push it any further and taking it to the bike shop.  Sometimes cars are a necessity.  Although I think that we should all have bikes and then there would be a few little electric bike “ambulance” vans that come out and rescue you and give you a hire bike while yours is being fixed.  That’s my utopia anyway.

*  My amazing body, for not breaking when it hit the tarmac yesterday.

*  The fact that it’s my birthday on Sunday and on Saturday we’re going to London and the weather is going to be awesome and we’re having dinner with Phil at Manna.  On my actually birthday I’m teaching yoga but I don’t care because it’s The Best Job in the World!

Have a great Thursday my lovely readers!
