i’m still not sure whether the sentence should be finished with a ‘?’ or a ‘!’. when our prime minister uses the phrase, as he does whenever he doesn’t have anything really relevant or even mildly intelligent to say – i.e. quite frequently – it sounds like a ‘?’ but it definitely feels like a…
i will admit the last (or rather first) tas gravity enduro event nat and i attended was a bit of a shock to the system. in nsw similarly titled events are, shall we say: rather less exhausting and appear geared towards the not quite as ambitious crowd. the fact that one of our friends in…
they don’t hold back. 6 stages, 18 km and a whopping 1000 m elevation gain, matched by an equal, if somewhat more rapid, elevation loss, thanks to said 6 downhill stages. that makes for an exhausting morning. here is something i overheard while queueing up for stage 3 (called red wine, for reasons that are…

thirteen. it has taken thirteen posts! but there it is: the beginnings of a power plant. a heroic effort over the weekend (with a little help from me) saw the roof finally go on the shed, which was of course the most important condition to getting the panels up. as scheduled – or actually: re-scheduled…
the roof is on! and just in time, too, the solar people will start on monday and – if everything goes to plan – finish the following day. the somewhat unexpected if very welcome progress today was due to the favourable weather, with no wind, only a few drops of rain and overcast skies making…
i’ve had the nomad for a few years now (almost five) and it did have a bit of a life before i became its custodian. no wonder then that a few of the parts are now at the end of their useful life. time for new parts: i needed a new saddle and a new…
we have reached the milestone of ‘peak wall’, meaning 5.5 out of a maximum of 5.5. possible walls have now been constructed. to paraphrase our prime minister (who i believe holds the world record for asking the greatest number of unimaginative and unintelligent rhetorical questions during a single election campaign): how good are walls! well,…
