"really shouldn't be let out by herself" department

Frantic cycle to work this morning, absolutely convinced that I was going to miss a phone meeting with my manager, because she's in London, right? But the mail she sent me with the time was in US time! And it definitely said 5, so that's 9 am here, yes? It was only when I was half-way down the canal that it occurred to me that the west coast of the US is in fact eight hours behind us, not eight hours ahead, and a more rational interpretation of the mail would be 1 in the afternoon. Duh.

On the other hand, if I hadn't been racing in at such speed, I mightn't have arrived at Leeson St. at the same time as a man who had a score out on his handlebars and was sightsinging while waiting for the lights to change. Now that's dedication.

Er, that ^ would be me. I'm sure if I'd had more coffee, it wouldn't have happened.

I'm sure if I'd had more coffee I would have managed to figure out WHAT TIME ZONE I'M IN!

And hee, that'd be funny if you knew him. He had shortish straight mid-brown hair, probably in his early 30s. Sounded like a tenor. :)

Doesn't sound like who I'm thinking about - clearly this combination of activities is more popular than I had thought.

Cool! there is potential for an entire cycling choir!

With interesting Doppler effect if they go fast enough!
