Morning. Earliest I've been out of bed for two months... need to feed the offspring, emails, then collect my boys new bike. Triban 3 junior for £28, bargain. Espresso first mind.
Morning all. Bright and sunny out, will be chilling out today once OH delivered to work. Saving her from public transport exposure. DHL, is this the paddle shift on the steering stem one. My lad had this as his first roadbike and loved it, upgraded to a Moda but couldnt get on with the sti,s that well. Small hands. PS they are a bit heavy but they ride well.
Schooling with Shorty. Should be fun. We've ripped through the home pack way ahead of time. I might go back to Daddy's tricky Maths, English, Geography and life stuff like bacteria, deep sea phosphorescent creatures etc.
Morning, builders here doing builder things, namely being noisy so all seems good, expecting next door to be knocking shortly asking for the noise to stop, quick how you make a masonry cutter quiet is beyond me. Box the guy in a sound proofed enclosure?
Meh anyway mid typing she did come round and moan, told her it will be all day (lies) neighbour other side wants to see what its like when done as he fancies having it done too. Anyway coffee to grind and grass to chop before the dog starts munching it again.
Out of interest, how far are you from civilisation (shops, restaurants etc) ?
Nearest decent grocery shop is ~ 25km, bigger one is 35. Very few restaurants out this way, one local club about 8km does good food, if a little lacking in ambience.. Couple of decent cafes and restaurants up near that first grocery place.
Driving to centre of city (Hobart) is about 45 km. Although, I can see it from my living room windows.

Gotcha - quite secluded then. The mention of Hobart rings a bell - do you still have Radio 780? https://youtu.be/FBAhG0FNqO0

That station still exists I think, doubt they do the same jingoistic jingle however!
It’s a nice little village here, mostly pretty quiet. It’s at the very end of a peninsula, so no through traffic which helps, just weekend visitors mainly. Probably 1/3 of the houses/shacks are empty a lot of the time, short term rentals or just weekenders for rich folk.
This place is just back a couple miles along the road, owned I believe by a surgeon, has someone do maintenance, but in 2+ years only seen it actually lived in for a couple weekends at most. Such a waste.
That pic in mid summer, very dry. The whole place is lush green right now.

I mention Radio 780 because in the 90's it used to get played on Capital Radio (one of the big London radio stations): there was a DJ called Chris Tarrant who played the cheesiest and crappiest jingles from provincial radio stations round the world.

Aye, set fair until Thursday. I've been opening up the back of the house (sw facing) and doing the inside outside thing in the evening. A short ride after work, enlivened by some geriatric waste of fcuking oxygen trying to right hook me as I was barrelling along at 40 kph (tailwind). Slidey fishtail stop next to his ancient censored car. Get your fcuking eyes tested. I swear there was drool out of one corner of his mouth. No reaction. Oh well, I'm alive.
Has anyone seen my mini pump? It's disappeared. I'm on borrowed time before I get a p word.

Laters.
Yep, round wheels, real brakes plus the bar top cx style ones.
That's the same one young oxo started with, he absolutely loved it. He did his first sportive on it and also raced around mallory a few times. Somebody looks to be concentrating hope they get on with it. Won't be long before their faster than you.
How can you tell from up there? Ah, the grass eating. My dog doesn't eat grass. Because I replaced it with stone, gravel and earth. Not that she did before.
Thankfully she doesn't she likes long tufty things, brooms, long grass, feather dusters, all chompable, doesn't always eat more rip it and shake it around make sure its dead, dozy terrier disease its called. She gets a decent diet etc just likes some greens now and again, or a broom.

Work efforts were distracted by the devil dogs, who tired themselves out after a few skirmishes over a bone.
Have now retired to the study before they get the strength back for round 2.

Bit cool for a bask or swim, but still a lovely spot.
