My Movember look is starting to take shape. Photo as requested...
Abby wanted to see a pic of my bike for some reason - I couldn't be bothered to wash it, so here it is just after arrival at work this morning.
Nothing fancy, just a good, solid bike that gets me around.
The weekend is nearly upon us - my plans? Nothing too strenuous - making pizzas, taking over the kitchen table for a wargame, etc. I have just finished refurbishing my Wars of the Roses armies (Richard III, Princes in The Tower and all that) and I want to see what they all look like on the table. I am hoping to put my camera on its mini tripod and use it to take photos of the battle as it develops, and then put them all together as an animation. Should be fun!
Oh, and I have had an epiphany regarding my trip - OVERNIGHT TRAINS! I think this is the secret to maximizing the use of my time, and it works really well for one of the tricky parts of the journey. Hoping to work out a good itinery using this as my main mode of transport.
Have a great weekend!

Trains at night. That's so Alfred Hitchcock of you.
Wigsf - I will try not to get involved in any nastiness...
Facial hair, a bicycle, and red-eye trains. You've made my Friday.
Abby - Really? You are easily pleased! :-)
I was going to say overnight trains is very Hercule Poirot ;)
I'm curious to know all the places you can travel to by train. I suppose I've never looked into their routes beyond our one trip up to Chicago. Sounds like a great idea if it all works out!
Your Movember look is much better than mine. I'm glad I backed down! :)
Your Movember look really reminded me of Judd Hirsch. What do you think?

Your bike looks like it can handle some tough conditions. No wonder it is such reliable transportation.
Sounds like a relaxing, fun weekend. Enjoy!
It was mostly the disc brakes that won me over. WANT
Riot Kitty - maybe I should cultivate the facial hair...
ShadowRun300 - Your train system is a bit hit and miss - over here you can get to just about every town or city...
Terri - Yes, I like it!
Abby - Oh yes, disk brakes are a must-have!
I wonder if night trains still go "clackity clack". Let me know. For some reason it's important.
Lotta Joy - ours don't any more as the rails are now continuous rather than in sections and the clakity clack sound is the wheels moving from one section to the next. I would imagine that yours are still in sections as that way the deal with heat variation a lot better - I remember being stranded once because the rails were buckling in the heat as they had no room for expansion...
Nice work on the Movember stache. I love the picture of the bike. A real work horse, not a dandy. My kind of transportation.
