Back to basic

I got fed up with the adverts, and don't think I'll miss the extra features - if I do, I'll go back to a paid account (though I'm tempted to upgrade my Flickr account to allow more sets - I ought to play with Fotopic and Picasa first though, and anyway my New Year resolution is supposed to be not spending money on things I don't need have a good excuse for, even really cheap things).

Car insurance, cycling

Renewed the Ka's insurance today. Renewal notice said 20 years no claims discount (it's actually longer than that since my only claim, but I haven't had a car insured in my name all that time).
I did cycle all the way in (16 miles) today, for the first time in months, in the hope of setting a precedent for the year, but I can't see us giving up a car before something bad happens to it again. On the other hand Alice did recently say she might cycle sometimes in the summer, so if we cycle on different days maybe we could SORN one car for six months - not sure it's really worthwhile though. I want to improve the ergonomics of my computer desk at home for working remotely too.
