Two punctures in one day - one, in the arvo, on the trip to Kingsford

Fortunately, I was carrying 2 spare tubes. Dunno why I was carrying two
tubes but I am glad I did.

Both punctures on the rear tyre. Serves me right for not checking the
inside of the tyre after the first puncture cos I found a piece of glass
embedded on the outside of the tyre the second time round - about 2mm
long sitting flat and barely noticeable/"feelable".

I don't like to feel tyres/tubes knowing the area is full of glass when
I ride on those cycle ways, hate cut fingers.

I only have a pump and a repair kit so its imperative that I check where
the hole is and what the cause was, there is a limit to the number of
patches in one's kit.
