A pre-Lent update

Hello, everyone!

Cast your minds back to November, when Felicity the bike was stolen *sniffle*. I am still, obviously, broken-hearted (although...haven't yet reported it. And now I'd feel really REALLY daft walking into a police station. "Hi, my bike's been nicked." "When?" "...about three months ago...") but time is a great healer and I began to realise towards the end of last term (specifically when I spent two hours going to Occupational Health appointments, of which more some other time) that, in Cambridge, the bike is King (or Queen) of Transport.

So it is that I began to search for...not a replacement for Felicity, per se, but another, different bicycle to love in a different way. I have now found it, thanks to a lady who lives down my road who had a spare she didn't need. This new bike is called WENDY in honour of said previous owner, and is dark blue and about twice my age, at a guess. She is also beautiful, although with less of the whimsical nature of Felicity.

Now all I have to do is work out how the HECK I'm going to get her to Cambridge. And not forget a bike lock.

Much love,
Felicity (not changing my name)
