Whilst at a meeting last night I realised I was in an easily accessible yet unmapped part of the city, and so returned after lunch to try and map it all. It was a larger area with more densely packed roads than I imagined in the dark, but still I've made a start and can return on Wednesday afternoon when I'm next due in that part of town.

Cheap batteries are not worth the cost savings - the no-name AAA batteries I took with me as I was rushing out the house turned out not to work. Luckily I've taken to hiding spare batteries in places I frequent, people get confused when you ask to use the batteries they didn't know they had but it means they stay unused for emergencies such as today.

I need to get round to either fixing or replacing my bike before spring, there are plenty of open street bugs around the area which I can't be bothered visiting on-foot but which could all be quickly closed by bike. Plus if I'm to cycle to Turkey this summer...

New camera would also be good, probably selling my good one and getting a cheap Canon. That way it's small and doesn't look expensive, yet with CHDK it'd be better quality than my current one.

Finally, on the way home - lorry breaks down on side of highway=primary, blocking access to highway=residential but not much else. Two police cars turn up to see what's happening, park across highway=primary and thereby cause access=no, leading to traffic tailback for some distance around the ringroad. Hmm, maybe I think in OSM tags too much...
