Damn I hate drizzle

[Rashika]

would you believe that this is the 4th day I have woken to damn drizzle...
the 4th day I am riding my pushbike to work ...IN THE FARKING DRIZZLE!
why am I riding my pushie?
Cos my car is having its bumper repaired due to a nameless person rear-ending it.... and my motorbike was having a new tyre put on yesterday and then ended up taking a detour home via Akaroa.
This is the 2nd push-bike this week as my usual one managed to get itself a slow leak on monday, rode home and pumped it up, rode to work and pumped it up, rode home and broke a brake cable on the way home. So now it has only 1 brake and 1 non flat tyre...GRRRRRRRRR
So I did some pinching of my own...hehehe...viola COOL BIKE TO RIDE.
Got another 4 kms hour outa it....anything gotta be better than my 15 year old heavyweight pushie!
3 ways for me to travel to work...and all of them failed, just as well I got a winning smile eh?

Moral of the story: NEVER plan on the weather

[miSTa]

Yea it sucks to be going to work...

I would much rather have Chch weather than Hamilton weather (lived in Hamilton for 25 years). The weather here is much more predictable though the fkwits on TV don't seem to be able to get right.

You're just jealous of our beautiful grey Hammy skies.

Tauranga's a great place Waylander. Are you considering moving there?

Yeah great. And as I sit behind my PC in my office, I can see quite a few bikes on the motorway taking advantage of the weather. Bastards. That fire exit is looking mighty tempting...

actually I THINK? that is good news... cos I'm heading south tomorrow :spudflip:
still gotta get home tonight, but at least it has 8 more hours to possibly dry out before I head off on the pushie. Good thing tho, I was able to con a ride to work this morning on account of the REALLY strong winds as well

[hXc]

It's beautiful here!

One hopes. Need a job first but odd coincidence, that happens to be why I am out here in he first place....
Even more of a coincidence is the fact that the place I am interviewing at is near the bike shop here that sells Ducatis...

We're not used to all this stuff you call "rain" down here in Chch. Hehe. In fact, we only know what it is because the farmers keep demanding it!

Still, it makes a hell of a change to the constant nor-westers and 25+ degrees we had there for a while. I don't like the heat much so it's nice that it's raining. Having said that, it's not exactly cold either.
