Here's a couple of retina iPad wallpapers I made on the train back to London from Liverpool (thanks, Photoshop Touch). The original designs are from an app called Notegraphy, and the quotes are variously from Jean-Paul Sartre, and Watson and Holmes. I think you can probably figure out which one's which.
My old Torpedo typewriter needed a cleaning
Beautiful.
I am so glad I don't have to be jealous of Windows Phone's more modern UI, anymore.
I bought a 65 year-old bicycle last weekend. It's the ladies' version above. It's in outstanding condition, perfectly rideable - the only signs of the age are some very minor rust speckles on the steel finishings and a very tactile patina on the rest.
I'm hoping my other half will take up cycling now that I've got her something decent to ride but there's a good chance that's wishful thinking. Either way, it's something pretty to look at.

I haven't posted in months. Excuses include starting a new job and starting my first ever business on the side and also sunshine.
Quick update: I have a new interest in white wines, home refurbishment, and the PS4. I still love tea, bicycles, and old, mechanical things like typewriters and film cameras. I've been to Paris recently, there may well be a few Tumblr posts in the making just from that.
I will try to put some stuff up soon. No promises.
Rowing on the Serpentine
This is just beautiful.

Sunny day in London. We went to Greenwich and saw the Propaganda exhibit at the British Library.
Bought my first used bicycle. It's a battered Raleigh maybe 25ish years old, 5 working gears which are changed with the lever attached to the frame near the stem, and drop bar handles covered in cheap red tape. I'm really, really hoping that this doesn't get stolen if I chain it up in London.
New tool. A friend of mine gave me a whole bag of expired 35mm and medium format films when I recently left my previous job. I only had a Diana F+ medium format camera, so I thought I'd get something a bit more interesting and ended up with this TLR.
Turns out a shop 30 seconds from here will develop the films for £8 so I should have some results to scan soon.

You can always rely on thingsorganizedneatly to show you something awesome of an afternoon.
Amazing what you can pick up at a moment's notice late at night on Gumtree.
Today was the perfect day to fix up my bike. Life threw up some setbacks for me today, but when I got home and found my new rear wheel and drop bar handles waiting for me, I knew things were looking up.
After mantling my dismantled bike (look up 'mantling', my usage just then could not make any less sense), I took it outside into the late afternoon sun and gave it a wash and an oiling. I've never used drop bar handles before, but they allow you to get your body much, much lower than normal riser handles do, so I thought I'd go for a quick ride to check everything was in whack.
It was glorious. I could feel myself putting far more power into the bike and I could tell there was less drag. Of course, I have absolutely no control over the brakes in that position, but you don't get something for nothing. I don't think anything could have cheered me up more than that brief, dangerous ride.
I'm incredibly happy with my Mango Bikes choice; I love the colours, it's simple to use and to maintain, and the service is friendly. I would highly recommend them to any city cyclists who want a good bike on a budget.
Gin and Tonic, and a Hoxton Special in the sun. I don't often do a set with the same kind of feel across images, but these two seem to go together too well not to.
