I now have a brown belt, as does [livejournal.com profile] beckyc.

The rest of the day was filled with frustration. Yesterday I'd repaired two holes in my rear tire; this morning the same wheel was flat again, one of the repairs having failed. I replaced the inner tube instead of trying again.

I upgraded my laptop to Tiger, but this didn't work very well; in the end I gave up and did a fresh install and copied a lot of files across from the old install to the new. I'm still working on getting things back the way they were.

I only have three more days at work this year. Hooray.

If almost all your cycling is commutes, maybe those solid urethane tyres might be worth a go.

Woot! When do you take the Shodan examination?

- Or is there another Kyu grade between you and the black belt?

I have brown+white and brown+red to worry about yet, with a minimum of two years training between now and the earliest possible black belt grading. Quite a lot of people seem to drop out among the browns...

I read the comments, and was thinking "Why the congratulations - how hard can it be - just walk into a shop a buy one, surely?"

Then it clicked. Duh.

Congratulations!

Oooh, well done.

Next term, I must get the motivation together to see about getting the blue...
