Mi casa, su casa

By popular demand - my current abode in its current form.

View from balcony #2 isn't bad, if you ignore the power lines.


View of living room from the command center. (Yes, I now prefer US spelling. Deal with it.)


The boudoir. Sigh.


Next time: The master-cheffe kitchen and the man-cave.

Tired is as Tired does.

Tiredness has made me blogapathetic. That is the technical term for being too apathetic to write anything, and also for the outcome of blogging when I have absolutely no news - that the blog will be pathetic.

I am barely beyond that point now - have been sneaking in a few little rides, but nothing much to report. That is what I have struggled with for the last (almost a) year - that I just don't get inspired to photograph and document my rides - they lack the adventure, the exoticism, the mystery of my rides in Japan. Anyway, as I am sure my extensive reader base will be dying for at least some news of any kind, I thought I would tell you about my new tyre:

Here it is posing on its maiden ride. Big, fat, round, black, grippy. All good stuff in a tyre. Oh yeah, and it was cheap - another very important factor. For the geeks out there, it is a Maxxis Ardent 29x2.4. Fat and good.

Here is my bike sparkling and shining in the sunshine:


And here is a happy friend I met on another ride a few weeks ago that I hadn't posted yet - this dude was well over a metre long!

A bit shy, but he did stop and pose for the camera. Very considerate.


That's all I got.
