That time again

"He who begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin."
-- Horace

Yes, it's the early summer, when the days suddenly get longer, the air warmer and the rain rarer. Also, though, the time when countless young people across the country either don't go outside often enough to enjoy it, or have the feeling that they shouldn't be enjoying it so much.

Possibly the only way to get revision for summer exams done would be to lock us into windowless cells, having previously wiped from memory any knowledge of what may be outside. Also severing an internet connection would be helpful. If only all the useful course material, past papers, lecture slides weren't online. Only excuses, I know. But still.

Apart from moaning about how frustrating doing university work is, I'm trying to be as ubiquitous as possible on my new road unicycle. The target of tackling Land's End to John O'groats in September is an ever encouraging reason for laying into a few more hundred miles.

First one to the English border, anyone?
The plan is to cycle (on however many wheels is your preference) to Shrewsbury, with the partial excuse of watching Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy in a cinema that is actually showing it (as in, not the Aberystwyth Commodore), but also to see what it feels like to do a 150 mile cycle ride in two days.
Party on, excellent!

+ Favourite new sandwich filling: cheese and apricot jam. Mmmm!
+ Best new mixed drink: Lemon/Lime Pepsi Max with cider. (thanks to Poppy for coming up with this one)
