Remember when I said nothing could stop me from going cycling this morning? I was wrong.
I woke up this morning at 6.30am, had a bowl of cereal and yoghurt, changed into my workout clothes and stuck on some sunscreen. I was so pumped, my keys jangling around my neck with each enthusiastic step. I've progressively moved all my keys to a landyard that I can hang around my neck. It started with just my front door keys for when I go jogging... then the garage door for days when I have to bring in the rubbish bin after jogging... and now the back door keys for when I go cycling. Now I have a giant chain of metal hanging around my neck every time I step out of the house.
Back to my story. I donned shoes, socks and helmet and started wheeling out my bike around 7am. That's when I heard it. Floomp, floomp, floomp. My front tire. Flat as my chest was in year eight.
I couldn't believe it. I've only been out cycling twice so far! And yes, I do cycle in quite an extreme fashion because there's nothing fun about going slowly or not cycling up curbs but really, a flat tire? I was very frustrated by this point.
My dad was kind enough to change the tire while I was at work today. He said there was a rose thorn stuck in the tire. A ROSE THORN. A FREAKING ROSE THORN. How does this stuff even happen anymore? Hasn't our technology advanced?
I was pissed enough when I went to work at 12pm but I became more pissed when I found out R's shift had been cancelled. So, I didn't get to see him like I had planned. This made my day even shittier.
Hopefully, the day gets better. I've scheduled in a choc mint Trumpet ice cream later this evening so that should make up for at least half the flat tire.

How was the mint chocolate trumpet? (I am living vicariously through you...I had dried apricots and a kiwi fruit as my post dinner snack - probably as much sugar but far less satisfaction)
^who dat ninja?
it was actually... amazing. i usually find mint choc so average (like, why would you sully the flavour of chocolate with something resembling toothpast?) but it was so nice. and the texture was kinda moussey which was nice too. cone was soggy though :( but the chocolate at the bottom was a nice surprise; totes forgot they did that.
