Saved by the BBC iPlayer

Long weekends are great for getting some miles in and having a bit of a break, but they make the short weeks harder to do the miles in between.

Decided to have a break on Tuesday, so planned to do something today and Thursday.

Didn't have a good day on Tuesday. I think it was a combination of post-long-weekend-blues, plus I was thinking about Fraser a lot. Consequently, I didn't feel like getting up early this morning, so I got back on the turbo for the first time for a while.

I've watched all my Christmas DVDs now, so I thought I'd try out the BBC iPlayer. It was fantastic! I watched an episode of Torchwood and then a news bulletin. I was surprised how good the quality was, especially as I was using a wireless network, but the sound was completely uninterupted, and the picture only froze on the occasional frame - certainly not enough to become annoying. Well done BBC!!!

Did the full hour, and around 16 miles or so, and felt good afterwards.

The BBC iPlayer quality is even better if you download it before playing it - and you get longer to watch it than 7 days!
