13th April: my Sunday Stroll lead was rained off. I was in the slightly odd position of having to post a cancel on Sunday morning while looking at the 11am bright sunshine coming in through the window, but the weaher forecasts all agreed (and turned out to be right, too, which is gratifying in a way and annoying in another way)

16th April: first Londonskate of the year, I skated in the pack and suffered not one jot (or tittle). Then up to the Batcave to fiddle with the Firebrox

18th April was supposed to be the FNRttC but I was unexpectedly ill at the last minute and had to bail out

20th April, the LSST club race - I wasn't racing, but went along to watch anyway. Seemed to work pretty well

Tonight, LFNS route check; tomorrow Londonskate; Friday LFNS; Sunday my rescheduled Stroll lead.

Sometime when I have a minute, lots of reading on Central pattern generators and neuromechanics - apparently we have reconfigurable neural networks in our spinal cords implementing oscillators, how cool is that? Finally a convincing mechanism for "arms drive the legs" explanations of [[armswing]]

Last night I cleaned my fridge out. It was overdue for it, the icemaking compartment looked like it had been snowed in. I have taken this photo just so I don't keep opening the door and letting warm air in to admire how much better it looks now.
