Depression time again. So I look at my life and work out what needs changing. Causes of depression include diet, exercise, light and external factors for most people. I can’t do anything about the external factor in this but the other three I can. I’ve not been cycling lately because the new year blessed me with a puncture, so I’ve not been getting exercise or an hour of natural light each day. I know this will make me feel better as it has in the past. Depression makes it very hard to do anything though, even the tiniest problem seems unsurmountable. You probably won’t understand unless you’ve been there, but it’s immense fun. Not. Work for the last week has been like pulling teeth. So, I’ve been working on my diet and I made myself fix my puncture last night. Left this morning a bit late and 2 miles in to my 5 mile ride to work I getanother puncture. Either something has been left in my tyre or the tape has come off the rim and I didn’t notice or I’m very fucking unlucky. Grr. Choice of walking it to work or walking it home is decided by lack of ability to fix it at work, so it’s 10am, I’m already an hour late and I’m sat on the DLR. How annoying? Going to take the kevlar slicks off my old bike I think? This is my 4th puncture in 3 months and I went a year without any on my old bike. Le sigh.
