Checking out the bit between departure and arrival. I hope I never get there.
This is a journal more than a blog.
Very self-centred. It is written for some future me. I am not looking for a following. You may read it. Please comment, but please don't judge. I write about what interests me, concerns me, and a bit about what happens to me. I hope some of it interests or entertains you.I should probably have titled this blog "Shit Happens". Because it does.
Sometimes I quote a song or some poetry, either just because I really like it, or because it expresses something I cannot put as eloquently into my own words. Occasionally i am brave enough to publish one of my own.

Date with a Blade-Wielding Woman
Wishful Thinking… A nice drive to Bunbury again today. The appointment was at two, so I did not have to leave as early as yesterday, but I was up and ready, so I did. Driving to Bunbury is more pleasant … Continue reading
Bikers Like Boobies
It seems Boobies like Bikers too. And You should beware of WOMBATS. They will steal your bike at the first opportunity.

Biker’s Permit
I have been writing about riding on this blog for so long it is difficult to decide whether to continue or transfer all the biking thoughts over to the MAA blog. I decided to leave that page mainly for records … Continue reading

Lazy Sunday
It is 44 degrees outside in the shade of my carport. A mere 34 inside on the shady side of the house. There is not a cloud in the sky. My parsley, mint and coriander, growing out in the sun, … Continue reading
