  • alive!

    not quite sure how, but somehow siggimus made it all the way from the bike shop & home

    speedometer says 6,43 km, although it felt more like 6.000 km

    siggimus only walked about 50 metres of that – a short bit that is nearly vertical, or at least that’s what it felt like with legs of rubber

    took two breaks – the first one after a bit of a dizzy spell following a looooong ascending slope & the second after climbing a 15 metre mountain

    .

    funny how your legs feel like they’re actually made out of rubber when you get off that thing

    hilarious, actually, if you make it home safe & manage to recover & get your legs functioning again

    when that happens, or rather, if that happens, siggimus will try to crawl into the bathtub

  • 6,43 km

  • spanking new ride!

    so, siggimus finally re-realises an old dream & invests in a bike!!

    tralala 🙂

    won’t get it until saturday, but spends his time until then looking at a pic of it & dreams of whooshing down the streets with wind in hair

    (through helmet, of course!!)

    the siggimus ride
    the siggimus spanking new ride

    siggimus is fully aware that he will be the target of mockery & ridicule for buying a bicycle with the label ‘comfort’ (the teenager salesman actually said he wouldn’t want one now, but definitely when he got old)

    let them mock, jide, lampoon, jeer, mock & even deride siggimus if they so desire, for siggimus cares not!

    !

    siggimus is quite happy & will be even happier when he finally gets to ride the monster

  • luck

    the immigrant got ornella pornella & siggimus got the bus-card

    no big deal, only when siggimus was exiting the casa siggimusum & immigrantum (got all the way to the lift!), siggimus remembers he’s forgotten coffee!

    eeeeeeeeek!!

    so, siggimus hurriedly returns to casa siggimusum & immigrantum to grab some coffee & then hurriedly returns to lift

    anyhoo, out at bus stop, siggimus put on mp3 & starts some wicked music

    after about 2 songs it’s quite clear that the bus has shamelessly departed without siggimus aboard!

    this is starting to bring siggimus down a bit when he spots a familiar car driving past

    waves & runs

    ‘you’re a bit late today, mother of siggimus. normally you leave 30 mins earlier, right?’

    ‘yaaa’

    so, siggimus finds himself surreptitiosly & without any warning whatsoever given a lift to within walking distance of work. only 2 km to walk

    getting out of car within walking distance, thanking mother of siggimus, siggimus spots maggi/grarl, half-boss & theatre-friend in his automobile

    maggi spots siggimus back & waves, as he stops for the red light

    siggimus runs 7 metres & gets in

    siggimus is dropped off 15 metres from entrance of job 2

    there was coincidence & there was bad luck & there was good luck, but eventualy siggimus only had to walk 22 metres to get to work, instead of 2 km
