World's most expensive shoelaces#

On Friday I snapped a lace in my right boot just before the LFNS. After unsuccessfully trying a shoe bar and one instance of John Lewis for a replacement on Saturday afternoon, I remembered the [[Powerslide => Seven days like Christmas]] skates I bought two years ago and have almost never used since. Didn't like the boots, the wheels are rubbish, and the frames are 5x80 therefore definitely unfashionable these days - though my 4x100 frames are not exactly modish either now - but hey. At least the laces make it all worthwhile.

Friday: LFNS (20km) plus cycling there and back (16km). My second-best bike is making strange clicking noises that I cannot identify, which slightly creeps me out after the [[Firebrox]] cracked frame incident a few weeks ago. Saturday off. Sunday Stroll to Victoria Park then up to Leyton for a barbecue then home again (34km). Leg basically fine. Still focusing on right foot carve, which is coming a bit more naturally, maybe perhaps.
