@jamesvandyne Ouch!! The phrase “my foot slipped off a petal” is, almost certainly, a typo. But lovelier than “pedal”. Hope you’re fine by now.
The Week #230

- 🚲 I rode my Brompton into work for the first time in about a month (a long gap because it was rainy or I was out of the country). It was really good. I had gotten in the habit of going to the same cafe each time I went to work, which doesn't quite live up to my original "the Brompton will enable me to explore a bit before work". Tokyo Tower is near my office, and I found a place that opens relatively soon after my train in Shinbashi arrives. So I went.
While killing some time waiting for it to turn 7:30, I rode over to Tokyo Tower. It had rained the day prior, but the skies were brilliantly blue.Tokyo Tower
While climbing the hill up to the tower, I'm not entirely sure what happened, but my foot slipped off a pedal...my foot landed on the ground, and I rolled the spiky metal pedals directly into Achilles tendon and bloodied up my leg a bit. Chocolate croissant was worth it. - 🏃 The previous incident occurring on a Friday made it so I couldn't go running on the weekend (in addition to rolling the bike into me, I also rolled my ankle slightly). Run debt + 1. Only 9 more runs required this year to hit 100, so I'm still positive on hitting my goal.
- 🌎 I want to rely on my RSS reader more when reading things online. But, and I think I mentioned this some weeks ago, it feels like my Feedly integration is flakey. Every few months it requires that I remove / add the account back to NetNewsWire for it to start picking up feeds again. Enough. I've exported my feed list and imported them directly into NetNewsWire. If I ever want to change clients, I can always export my feeds to OPML and go from there. Open standards rule.
- 🧑🍳 Warm thick soups are perfect for this time of year. These kinds of soups are not something you can easily find in my neck of the woods so, I made my own. I made creme of potato soup for the first time and it turned our really well. Leo even ate it up, so I was able to sneak a bunch of veg into him to boot.
