yoi ryōko o

Saturday, 18 July 2009

As you have probably noticed, it's been a long time since my last post... A lot has been happening of late. I'm working full time during the day, part time during the evenings and weekends and trying to prepare for the solar eclipse trip to japan and china in the spare seconds.

We have also been looking after a friends dogs this week - Oscar and Cleo a surprisingly time consuming venture, but perhaps that's just because I'm not really a dog person! (I think dogs belong on farms, not in the suburbs, and I definitely don't think they should live indoors!)...

I probably won't get another chance to post, so just wanted to say - yoi ryōko o - bon voyage! (Yes, ok, it's a little strange to wish myself a happy trip but I'm practicing my Japanese!)...

Wet and Windy Westgate...

Monday, 13 July 2009

What windy weather it's been this weekend! Not the best day for a 60km bike ride meandering underneath the Westgate bridge and through port melbourne, but I would do it again any day! The ride was with the Darebin bicycle users group and included a 92 year old man who managed to outride me! I can only hope to be half as fit as he is if I reach that age!

Apart from that things have just been extremely hectic - as always. Lots of website work, real work, preparing for the trip and getting over the flu that's going around... Grace and I did manage to build a bokashi compost bin out of second hand materials which was a lot of fun! And we've just returned from an outing to see rove filmed live in the studios - a slightly bizarre experience, but impressive how sharp the presenters are - they never miss a beat, or a line and there's no second takes - very smooth! I can barely get out a normal sentence without making a mistake, much less a funny one!

Anyway, I thought I'd post a quick update here after failing to post for such a long time... Hopefully the next post will include some of Ganesh's beautiful photos with the new camera he bought to photograph the eclipse!
