Just when you thought it was safe to come back..
MORE PHOTOS!
I know. It’s a bit of a cheek really, as I already had all these shots ready to go last week, but held them back a I didn’t want that last post to be endlessly massive.
But I care not one jot, you all love me anyway, right? Read More
Now, where were we..?
Posted on June 10, 2013
Hello, dear readers! 1000 apologies for the slight hiatus but I’ve been sick. Stupid winter flu bugs have kept me from doing a lot for the last month.
I even missed a day of work and as I only get paid for what I work (no sick leave for us company directors) that’s a pretty big deal. For me to sacrifice that amount of money to the flu god, it was pretty bad. That’s kind a shit buys a lot of wine.
Anyways, its not all been doom and gloom, I have managed to ride my bike a lot, even though it’s suddenly turned very cold.
0.7C at 6:45am kinda cold. Yes, I know northern hemisphere dwellers would say ‘thats not cold, if you want cold, try riding in the snow yer great southern shandy drinking poof’
Yeah, no. I’ve done that, it’s not fun. Plus it doesn’t snow here.
A ride around the beaches
Posted on May 6, 2013
Best thing about living by the sea – being able to ride around the beaches.
It never gets old. Probably because I grew up an hour or so’s drive away from the coast I hardly ever saw it, except for holidays and the occasional sunny summer Sunday.
So off I went out with the camera again – and here’s some pictures 🙂
The best bit about autumn – clouds.
Posted on April 21, 2013
Summer in Perth is all very well, but the heat, the endless blue skies and 15 hours of sunshine a day can get a bit wearing.
I know, I know, how ungrateful!! Compared to England, we have good weather here – even when its cold, its warm. Blah blah!
Well, the summer has packed its bags now and autumn is coming and with it – clouds, rain and cool breezes. All of which are great for photographs. A bit of cloud and suddenly everything is a little bit more interesting.
tiny update
Posted on April 7, 2013
Its been a crap couple of weeks for getting out and about and taking photos cos I’ve been sick.
Yes, the dreaded man-flu.
You know it’s bad when a 4 day weekend with gorgeous 30C sunny days could not even tempt me outside, and then the following week I had to have a day off work. When you’re paid by the day and don’t get sick leave, this is a very big deal.
To breakfast and back

Sundays on the bike. That’s what this blog is turning into!
I warn you, it’s probably not going to get much better!! I’m hooked on riding my little bike and I can hardly wait to get my next bike test done so I can graduate onto bigger bikes and explore a bit further. That will have to wait until the end of the year though my pretties.
So in the meantime, more pics from my rides on the little red Ninja and a few others, just because. Read More
Greetings from the other side

Happy New Year, dear internet.
Yes, I know I’m about a month late, I’ve been busy, ok! :p
So, what has been going on in my world that’s meant a 6 week hiatus? One word
Work.
Boxing Day goodness
Posted on December 26, 2012
So, all you northern hemisphere dwellers with your snow and your wrap up warm Christmas cheer where mulled wine makes perfect sense don’t know how good you have it!
As I said before, it doesn’t feel like Christmas down here in Perth – it’s almost 40C today with clear skies (and a strong sea breeze, thank god) – everyone’s heading to the beach or barbecuing on the many foreshore picnic areas. How is that Christmas? LOL!
It is, however, perfect weather to have a little ride about and I think I might have to make this a Boxing Day tradition. Read More
Christmas lights
Posted on December 25, 2012
There’s a bit of a trend around these parts to decorate houses with Christmas lights. When I say decorate, I mean cover, top to bottom.
One particular street has been doing this for many years, with most of the residents participating. It’s got so famous that the area is packed with people on Christmas Eve, all wanting to come see.
It’s also become our tradition to go for a wander. Read More
Christmas Eve ride
Posted on December 24, 2012
Hello and Happy Christmas!
It never feels like Christmas; As someone who grew up in northern hemisphere, Christmas should be cold and snowy. Ok, we are talking England – grey and rainy. So when it’s wall to wall sunshine and the temperatures are in the mid to high 30’s C – it just doesn’t feel Christmasy. It is, however, perfect weather for chilling out and enjoying the time off.
So I went for a ride with Pete.. Read More
