So, we’re still pulling stuff, although a bit of that has been deciding what to pull… [icbm: home]
Back from Perth
The Vines resort (where the Jonny Walker Classic is played) is nice, if you like early 1990 architecture, and golf. Just don’t try to have a shower in your unit, as the hot water system is the size of a thimble. Hire cars are good, because they take you away from the Vines. Freemantle and…

A Saturday ride
This is a boring post, so I’ll keep it short. 30.81km, max speed 45.9 km per hour, 1 hour 52 minutes ride time. Around lake Tuggeranong and so forth. [icbm: home]
