To the Little Red Bike Café for a breakfast sandwich, coffee and pastry, detouring into a Starbucks (shudder) to pick up a copy of the Times, and then further detouring by way of taking a wrong turn or six, and then detouring further still to stop by the library on the way home, for to pick up some fresh Gibson and Mieville.

Gosh, but its surprising what a few weeks of indolence will do to one. Glad to be back in the saddle again.
