Rising Sun

Ouchie, I'm all sun burnt from laying out on the nice spring day. I got up early because it was going to be nice and cycled over to the lab to putter about. I had to submit an abstract for a conference, so that took some time to work on. After going home for breakfast, I went back to the lab around 12:30 pm, but the cloudless, warm day lured me out and I lay around on a bench for an hour or so. After that I decided to go for a cycle about town, it was rather quiet because it was Easter Sunday, but people were out cycling, or playing Frisbee or just enjoying themselves. I spent more time trying to get the little moped to work with varying success. It refuses to start for no apparent reason, but I managed to make it down to the store for some groceries and then up to the lab later in the afternoon.

I talked to Allison for a while tonight, she'd also been out and about doing stuff. Then I smeared myself in moisturizer as I was a little pink from the sun and crashed out. Nothing of any great consequence happened today which was fine by me, I'm happy to have the chance to just relax.
