Another ride
St Kilda Again
We went and had a stroll to the mouth of the Yarra this morning. Well, early afternoon. Boats, ships, biting wind, blistering sun. Usual stuff. Then I took my bike out again. Another 30km round-trip to St. Kilda. Head winds both ways, except for the vicious blustery cross-wind that nearly blew me into traffic every few minutes.
The Silver Gulls were making the most of the ridge lift over the beach wall. Some garbage had escaped from the bin. They were hovering with astonishing skill above the wall. Occasionally, one would swoop down and grab some repulsive morsel. The others would mob the hunter until the offal was discharged. If you ignore their dietary habits, gulls are beautiful.
The kitesurfers were out in force again. I'm getting tempted.
