Back off the Bike

My bike got stolen last night. The police have been notified and I'm about to claim on my insurance.

I had to walk to work this morning which meant I had to get up earlier than usual.

It was raining.

My knee was sore from a very tiring training session last night.

It was humid this morning so I sweated and I got chafe which hurts.

I had to spend 20 minutes giving a statement to a (very helpful, rugby playing) policewoman.

Edinburgh can be a very small place so I if I see the criminal riding along on my bike then my irritations from the above will be taken out. That's pie in the sky though as I doubt I will ever see it again.

The policewoman mentioned that they were running a bike crime campaign at the moment so I suppose there is a glimmer of hope.

On the flip side I get a new bike and it is Friday.

Continuing the themes of 'crime' and 'twilight zones' from this and previous posts, I was interested to read this - http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Agonising-search-for-missing-mum.5465105.jp - especially as I have been to Cancun twice.

Sinister criminal abduction or Mayan magic?
