overtaking me then cutting directly in front
I've been getting this generally and was wondering if it was just me. Quite often when a fast group comes past the last rider tends to cut back in across my front wheel.

Had a good experience with bike reservation on Virgin trains (London to Penrith). The staff have to let you on/ off, but appeared as soon as I got to the platform and knew what they were doing. Bike area is fairly rudimentary (basically just an area with a few straps) but seems fairly secure/ safe. Reservation is free.

Increasingly annoyed at how often people just leave their engines running (e.g. at level crossings etc). At North Sheen level crossing drivers seem pretty oblivious to the fact it's a residential road, and there's pedestrians, families, children etc waiting at the crossing.

2 back to back days of getting the tube. So grim. Feel ill, tired and irritated - no idea how people do this every day.

Just got back from riding across Kew Bridge (and along Chiswick High Road) and feel like my lungs are full of crap. Might take the detour and use Hammersmith bridge now, looks so civilised.

Free service, why not
Was sent off today by the retailer for servicing by Hamilton. As it's still in warranty should be a 'priority' and take 3-4 weeks. Apparently will get another 2 years warranty once it's returned.

Timekeeping is OK. Will probably look into service. Bit surprising as thought the 2801 movement was fairly robust.

The power reserve on my Hamilton Khaki Mechanical seems to be reduced. Last couple of winds lasted 33 hours. It's supposed to be 46 hours. It's just over 1 year old. Should I be looking at getting this fixed under warranty?

First ever picture of a black hole expected at 2pm tomorrow:
Drivers who repeatedly leave their engines running while parked could receive instant fines under proposals being considered by the government to give local authorities more power to reduce pollution.
