Wahh!

My bike is still broken. No-one looked at the back wheel, but it turns out that the gear mechanism is also bent out of shape. They've attempted to bend it back, but the first two gears are still unuasable (if I switch into them, it jams between the spokes and stops the wheel), so I've taken it away today and I have to take it back on Tuesday, by ten.

So I must have an early night on Monday. If anyone sees me on msn past eleven, bother me.

Also: the Thing I mean to do the next time I'm in town is see if HMV or similar stock iPod chargers. The iPod itself is savvy to not-made-by-apple things, which is really annoying because I've been leant a generic one which, because of that, won't charge it.

I bought a new warm thing at the market. Alpapa wool!

ETA: Someone to the north is letting off Chinese Lanterns, and it seems like next-door and Yarbrough Way's fireworks are trying to shoot them out of the sky. O_o
