I'm just not having my day.
Friday is my day off work and I wanted to cycle to the garden centre to have a look around. First my father calls me just after 10am where I was, it turns out he had to go pick up something at a supplier and he had thought he'd asked me to work until he got back, which he didn't. He got back around noon and when I was getting my coat and bag my mother told me she had a doctor's appointment at 1.30 and I had to stay until she got back in case it was busy in the store and my father needed help.
She didn't get back until just before 3pm because she decided to do some shopping (when she knew I was waiting). And when I finally got to my bicycle I found that the gear cable was broken. My father had been out on his bicycle so I asked him and he told me that when he put his bike away he got caught on what he thought was a brake cable.
Anyway, I called the bike repair shop and they could fix it for me today but it won't be ready until around 6pm, too late to go out. So I'll get it repaired on Monday. Unfortunately today is supposed to be the last sunny, warm and/or dry day for a while and I can't even take my sister's bike because one of her tires has a puncture.
I'm somewhat cranky now because I was really looking forward to getting out in the sunshine today. I'm hoping it won't cost too much to get the brake cable replaced, on the plus side I can have them check my brakes, one need adjusting.
