I went for a bike ride today, just a mellow, view-appreciating one rather than a hard workout as I usually do (honestly!). I decided to take the path along the Thames that follows the exact course of the Oxford-Cambridge boat race - Putney to Mortlake.

It's always lovely to discover green areas in London, even if they stretch precisely 5 yards from riverbank to people's back gardens. I also saw a heron.

In other news - um, I did housework. Help. Me. Please.
