Well I learnt a few things today, out on the bike.
The plan was to try and find the second apartment I saw on Friday, to see how far it was by bike and then go find IKEA in Billingstad.
The weather forecast was for better weather in the morning then getting worse in the afternoon so wanted to get it all done as soon as possible. The temperature was pretty low at about 4°C.
I had decided not to use the sweat vest today, just 2 layers. The usual leggings and trousers and the new shoes and socks.
Took me a little while to get out of the flat as I tried to download a map to the Garmin. Didn't manage it. Left anyway.
I need to make sure I have a spare hat. The cycling skull cap is fine when on the bike but does hold the sweat in and when stopped this gets very cold.
Should also keep wearing the sweat vest or some other means of keeping the moisture off my skin. Got damn cold when I eventually found IKEA. The viewranger app on the phone was the most useful. The paper map wasn't that much help in the little roads.
Couldn't get the Garmin to download anything, probably because it didn't record anything. Doh!
Got a few people on the Skype today but did miss a few. Mum was using an old computer which produced some weird effects. Looked like Uluru was behind her but it kept coming in and out of shot. Most odd.
Also had a long chat withTracey-Anne, Staffs and Maison. Will talk to Rose tomorrow as she was in bed early with a cold or something. Oliver came in while I was on Skype and he looked a typical teenager, even though he's now 18. Cap on backwards with curly hair sticking ouut through the strap. Didn't want to talk and went off to bake a cake.
