[UK] Approaching a pinch point with a queue of traffic, so I took the lane to avoid being squished. No, I'm not allowed to leave the cycle lane and if I do, it's perfectly OK for him to aim his van at me to stop me using the cycle lane. in c/bike_cams@piefed.world

I'm really such a tired old lady now, that I tend to stay home, think about cleaning up but usually don't, or pick up a little art project, right now I'm trying to talk myself into embroidery; a week go I had some fun with air dry clay.

My last day off I went to office Depot and this lady admired my hair, then she apologized and said she wasn't trying to give me "mal de ojo" (evil eye) which is a Mexican superstition; that if someone envys you, then you (who is envied) could receive bad luck. We laughed about it.

I said I needed an egg in my car, which is wrong, I need a lime in my car to ward off the evil eye, but she did a motion; like praying over me with the egg, either she didn't notice or she played it off, and we laughed about it. I was kicking myself afterwards for mixing up the two practices....so yeah...im still thinking about it lol

After that i probably went home and played games/watched youtube videos
