Umm ... bit of silence to follow - deliberate this time!

Thought: the use of social media is now the influence on ‘who’ you are, so maybe stop using it could be providential?
This is, or may be, the strongest indicator of ‘who’ you are these days - data mining?
But could I go until Xmas without Twitter, FB, etc. for that long? Actually, have a badge to earn in Ingress, so what say we restrict to 2/day & no hacking, etc. Then there is also uploading the Garmin data, so that will be another exception can but try, hey?
Hmm … why not make it interesting, and minimise all bad habits? Wonder if I could do 300 km per week? That would be 50 km per day, during the week, and then a 100 km ride on the weekend … tempting, very tempting … also possibly difficult :p
Still, something to aim for … maybe …
In other news, study has been hard … had a constitution essay due Friday, and Evidence & Equity due on Sunday night … then there was the McGregor & Mayweather* fight on Sunday, and the ‘effort’ to be involved, with K & F, took a lot out of me - ended up taking laptop to E&C, but was too noisy & no seats were available! So went outside, where it promptly started to rain! after the 3rd attempt, I just gave up …
So, settled in & drank beer - had started with two cans (each) of Mercury Hard, before consuming pint of Kilkenny & a jug of CD - bought two, but shared with F - at the pub … then went to commiserate with F - K had $$$ on Mayweather - by drinking two bottles and two pizzas between us …
Is it little wonder that I was feeling shabby & disinclined to do too much more work?

Seems that SBS Food is reshowing ‘Good eats’ - could this be a cross-promotion with La Vuelta - give you ideas for late night snacks?
* Slight sidenote - have a look at the tremendous amounts of money that they 'earned' - US$100 000 000+ for Mayweather!
