Steve, I admire you following your convictions through to not voting. I would stand up for your right not to. I vote because I hold on to a hope that one day something will go right and we will get a few someones in the top jobs who are also sick o…

Hiya group, some time no post! Interesting range of responses to being ignored, from assumptions of snobbery to Vujos's psychotic rages (hope I don't encounter him when I'm distracted!) If someone is coming the other way at a reasonably low relati…

G'day! G'day!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT331BRkkP0




This song popped into my head this morning right after a man on a push bike traveling the other way totally ignored me when I said "G'day" as we passed.

Why is it that so many people have lost the old ways? Am I just nostalgic for a time that is now long gone: replaced by the cold hard reality of Post-Modernity?

Do you say "G'day" as you pass other cyclists? How d… Continue

What a Week!

So, Le Tour is over for another year. The days are starting to get longer (except for the extra sleep required to recover from aforementioned TdF) and the skies are just a little bluer. The mornings are still cold, but the afternoons are warmer (unless, of course it rains).

What to do? We start the preparation for the Summer. The discussions are buzzing with talk of training tips, hydration, new machines. Talk of Winter clothing has gone and already the Summer kits are being readied. Ho… Continue

My lucky week...

Greetings blogsters!

Well, school holidays are over for another term. My youngest is now at school and that means I can start to get some of those odd jobs done that I have been putting off until now. The coffee machine got cleaned today. Job number one out of the way... we have to pace ourselves on these things!

In the past week (and a bit) I have actually been lucky enough to win two competitions (of sorts).

I went to watch the Tour de France at the Marion Event Cine… Continue

6 Month Anniversary...

This week has marked an anniversary for me of 6 months since taking up this grand lifestyle choice of cycling. Those who read my humble words often will know the story of my getting started, so I won't bore you with that again now.

I was talking to my Dr having been in for a general check-up to make sure that everything was going as well as I thought it was... and it is. We noted that it would be interesting to have had the same tests performed before last Christmas in order to compare… Continue

Yo,

check this out http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/pot-moroccan-vegetarian-tagine.html - tis my favourite dish ever, because it has so so many vegies plus the protein from chickpeas, and the ingredients are pretty much all year round or its easily modified if not.

In short, don't get me started on food. I go nuts. Also, I was given some wine on the weekend from a farmer down at Penola. I'll save it for our risotto night!
