I had last week off for my birthday. I spent most of the week cleaning and painting the walls in the spare room and then cleaning and painting the walls in the kitchen. We also got rid of a lot of crap that we had hanging around the house. The local council had their kerbside collection day on Monday and took it all away for us. Of course, some of ( Read more... ) -
Dammit
On my way to my regular Sunday morning breakfast this morning a truck pulled across in front of me with no warning. I didn't have enough time to brake fully so I had to lay my bike down and go for a slide. Now I am feeling very sore and sorry for myself. My bike suffered only minor damage to the forward controls and one of the levers. -

New world?
How clear was the air this morning? There was open sky from horizon to horizon. Not a single cloud appeared on its azure canvas, which was reflected in the water of the bay as an even deeper sparkling blue. The city of Melbourne revealed herself, having thrown off her customary cloak of smog, and I could see, in stark contrast, the perfect shadowy ( Read more... ) -
Random happenstance...
I've had a crappy cold for the past week but it seems to be getting better now. Was all ready to organise photo shoots when I got sick too. Timing, eh? Anyways, I should be feeling better next week *knocks on wood* and I'd love to get into it. I also think I'm addicted to Orange Strepsils ( Read more... ) -

I have it in mind to do a series of photographs on a theme. If anyone is interested in joining me in this artistic endeavour, ( Read more... ) -

Living in an ark
It's 2 o'clock in the morning and the start of the storm front has just passed over. I'm keeping an eye on the weather map. We've had rain in through the top of a window in the front room again and some small amount of rain in the back room. Towels and buckets deployed. This house has lasted 50 years, it can keep the weather out for a few more yet ( Read more... ) -

First times this week...
Thursday night I went for a ride on my motorbike with a group of ppl - 67 bikes tearing through the back streets of Melbourne. We ended up out the back of the airport for a break at around 9pm at which point I left the group and came home. Most of the ppl were on sports bikes and I sat at the back of the pack ( Read more... )
