Bike stuff
Bad news, or just a bad rumour? Heard today that Christie Cycles is closing. It’ll be a sad loss to Australian touring cycling if its true. Might be a chance of picking up a discounted Cannondale tandem though…
Site stuff
Ugliness abounds — still thinking about changing the look of the site. I like clean and uncluttered, but maybe something a little more interesting…
Cleaned up the old images on my camera. Now that there’s a minimum of two copies replicated between home and work, it’s safe to delete them off the memory card. Annoying bug in the IXUS-300 means that it won’t automatically download new images if there are more than 100 images in the camera — even if there are only one or two new images!
Wedding loot
This evening there was the successful completion of a lightning raid on Myer in the city. I left work at five, went home, picked up the dinner set and lugged it downstairs to the bike. Rode off up the street, then hurriedly stopped and move the load around since the weight over the back wheel was causing frightening wobbles! Little Bourke street at 5 pm is a world of its own — narrow road, the smells and sounds of Chinatown, pedestrians hurrying back and forth through the traffic. With perfect timing I pulled up at the Myer entrance as Jo walked across the street!
Clump, clump, clump — up the stairs, a short discussion to retrieve the refund vouchers for the wedding registry items that Myer , then to the kitchen department to swap the increasingly-heavy dinner set. A brief conversation, a lot of filling out of paperwork, and we’ve swapped the dinner set. Up to the toy department for a quick look around, the weight of my bag gradually dragging me further and further over to the right! Finally its time to leave. Now to lug it home again…
