Stuck under a tree

August 14, 2008

The rain is falling and here I am, cowering under a tree as I watch the other bikers brave the wet. It’s just started thundering.

I am back home now, (I was under for 40 minutes). I managed to entertain myself my going to my facebook app and seeing who was online for a chat. Spoke to Si Blood, my old uni mate and Jodi, a friend from Budapest. Then I commented on some photos someone had just posted and then I checked the latest tech news on my RSS reader.

I also geo-located myself for a zoomed in satellite view of my surroundings.

I love my iPhone!

Anyway, why was I biking to Sloane Square in the rain? Well of course I wanted to see if I could beat the quickest possible time I can get to school using public transport.

I missed the 40 minute target by 3 minutes! I am certain I can beat this time quite considerably. I took a leisurely pace and did not take the most direct route. I was also getting used to the bike lanes and negotiating huge roundabouts like the famous beast at Elephant and Castle.

As always, click the photo for the full photoset.

The disappearing view of the O2 Dome

Day by day the view slowly succumbs to the hungry buildings:

Train to Doncaster

On the train to Doncaster. It looks like the evening sun of London was being forced out by a brewing storm. The city has been too hot recently and needs a good wash ;)
