Daisy Hill

Posted on April 25, 2011 by Chaz

We have a five-day weekend over Easter. The logic behind this is awe-inspiring. Anzac day falls on Easter Monday, and can’t be moved for some reason. So, in an act of sheer brilliance – pay attention here, this is remarkable … Continue reading →

I Blog therefore I am

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Chaz

We have far too much fun to blog about it all. If I wrote about all the awesome stuff we do, eventually you’d read a sentence starting “I sat down to blog about it…” and we would enter some terrifying … Continue reading →

Deception Bay

Posted on March 12, 2011 by Chaz

Bit of a catastrophe last night – ran out of wine, and had to buy a bottle at full retail price. Off to Vintage Cellars this morning, then. One benefit of owning a car is that I don’t have to … Continue reading →

Faster than a Speeding Landcruiser

Posted on March 6, 2011 by Chaz

Yesterday’s ride was a little disappointing. Our goal was to see some more of the Moreton Bay coastline. We drove to Lota and picked up the cycleway where we had turned back last time. After 200m of boardwalk, the rest … Continue reading →

A Three T-Shirt Day

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Chaz

I like to have climbed hills on my bike. Note the precise verb tense, please. I don’t enjoy the actual climbing bit. That’s nine parts pain and one part misery. Still, we’ve been to Mount Coot-tha (you’re still pronouncing it … Continue reading →

I Predict an Impending Sense of Deja-vu

Posted on February 26, 2011 by Chaz

Well, this is going to seem a bit repetitive, my little bandicoots. Problem is, we enjoyed last weekend’s tour so much we decided to do it again. In a sorry attempt to pretend we’re not merely seeking another rut to … Continue reading →

Manly with Bicycles

Posted on February 20, 2011 by Chaz

Yesterday (after the disappointment at the market) we went to Manly. That’s the Manly in Queensland, not the one 1000km south. Important for route planning, that is. It’s a small town on the shore of Moreton Bay about 15kms east … Continue reading →

Long-term Investments

Posted on February 20, 2011 by Chaz

At a Craigside Christmas many years ago, someone gave a copy of “Juggling for the Complete Klutz.” I have no idea who the giver and recipient were. It’s not important. Unless it was your prezzie, in which case I have … Continue reading →

Brisbane Markets

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Chaz

Neither of us are morning people. Why, then did I set an alarm for 0630 on a Saturday? And why did we actually get up? I blame Melbourne. See, Melbourne has the world’s best market. We had heard that Brisbane … Continue reading →

Some of the Sheep*

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Chaz

Allegedly, it’s a good year for mozzies – the wet is leaving lots of little pools of standing water for them to breed in. Tiny little buggers, they wake up around dusk and go hunting. On locating a suitable victim, … Continue reading →
