I am in a bit of a 'bad day' phase right now where everything is going wrong. Today the car did not start so therefore I missed Göteborgs Superprestige. I probably could have rode from here and made it but you know that they have not cleared any bike paths so I would just have fallen over and over and over.

One highlight of the day was the CX race in Zolder which was a fantastic snow story. But I killed my good mood shortly after by trying to get my new HP MiniPC to do anything at all. I thought Windows 7 was supposed to be better than Vista? Nothing works on it. Connect to the internet? Far too difficult for a netbook.

I also made the mistake of going to Allum which was packed so much that I could not even walk. Yes, getting hit by shopping bags and elbows is just what I needed. Did I find some good bargains? No.

Nej...this trend has to change. Time for some positive news. Give it to me!
