"Canberra News, Views and Opinion"
I know how much people here like “bike” stories, so here’s another. I was driving through Cook the other day when I passed two people on what has to be the most amazing contraption I have ever seen. The rear half was a normal upright bike, the front half a recumbent bike. The ultimate “hipster [...]
Taken yesterday while walking the dogs and annoying the cyclists.

Dear Matt,
I was young once, I know how hard it can be when you are trying to work out what girls are about. Obviously Abbey did something to upset you, maybe she put chewing gum in your hair, dropped your mobile phone in the loo, or kissed another boy. Or maybe she just wouldn’t let [...]

Feedback welcome, but before anyone gets all critical on me. I don’t consider myself a musician, this is just something I play about with for fun. My tastes tends towards the 4AD/minimalist/gloomy [...]
We had to have our old mutt put to sleep before Xmas.
A combination of ill-health, blindness, and the heat of the season, reduced his quality of life to the point where it was kinder to have his troubles ended. We had him cremated, and have his ashes in a pot. As we spent many happy times, [...]

We were walking our ill-allsorted collection of mutts down by the lake, at the Lindsey Prior arboretum this morning, and watching all the fitties doing their rowing. It made for a lovely walk, and a very pleasant morning. We stopped off at the new benches which have been installed there. Very nicely done, and they [...]

Taken, on a jaunt down to Shepherd’s Lookout recently, giving my old blind mutt a change of non-view.

I think he enjoyed the smells,.
I didn’t.

Seen at, you guessed it, the Pinnacle. Seems to be a lot of these about at the moment, (more images available.)
Also saw a brown snake there the other day. I was too busy running away to get a photo, though my old blind dog trod on it and got away with it!

On the BBC, I came across this interesting article;

George North insists Wales are ready to build on Grand Slam success rather than lose the momentum as happened after the 2005 and 2008 successes. The 20-year-old wing wants to keep the winning streak going on June’s three-Test tour of Australia. Wales face the Barbarians [...]
Seen this morning at LBG.
About 4 inches long.
Couldn’t get better images as I was too scared to get close to it.
Walking the dogs at LBG this morning, we came across a flock of about 30+ Black Cockatoos. Unfortunately I didn’t get great shots of them, but here’s a few samples.
