I was never one to hold a grudge. My father held grudges, I'll always hate him for that. ☁

☁️ Every ride is a tiny holiday

Gusty & dusty, that northbound bit along Forster road was a real slog. Family ride around the eastern part of our 5km area then back along the creek and past the massed gelati customers of Oakleigh

Clear, 25°C, Feels like 25°C, Humidity 43%, Wind 9m/s from N - by Klimat.app

Heating up, gusty warm north wind full of dust & pollen, amusing watching the masked shoppers quickly pull their covid masks off to sneeze, then put them back on. Fish, chicken, bread, in that order

Windy, 20°C, Feels like 20°C, Humidity 56%, Wind 9m/s from N - by Klimat.app

Always wondered if that road lead there, and it does. Very windy, at least mandatory covid mask stops a lot of the dust & pollen

Orange tree is blossoming again, jasmine is still out, grape hyacinths are done and need dead-heading

Would like it very much if left crank wouldn’t keep working loose, has done ever since last “service” by the lbs that I have finally given up on for good. Despite refitting and retightening, it just won’t stay

Along the creek, buffeted by the wind. Mask rules mostly ignored, nobody seems to care

Home from the park with number one son and friend, detour via the mystery vacant land

Park life. Taking number one son to meet close friend for a play in the park

went out and planted a packet of sunflower seeds around the garden, here and there, I'll never remember where they all are

School holiday outing with number one son. Up the trail to the end and a lap of the hidden lake. Passing visit to Booran park and home via the Rosstown rail trail

Sidestreets and parks, a ride-by of our old house & street, a lap of the shopping strip and home

Did not feel like 7°C, Garmin said 4.2°C when I last looked. Discovered that up hill, with mask, in rain = how to waterboard yourself. Got home to find that she who protects the clean floors required me to nude up on the back deck. Recovery beer needed

58008 someone said, reminding me. #1980s high school #casio #calculator. #retrocomputing #boobs

Cold and wintery. Buzzed by a drone with 50cm clearance, avoided huge tree knocked down by truck, amused by old ladies complaining that there are bikes on bikepaths. Old lady one to old lady two “The only problem with this path…” pauses as I ride past along Djerringtrail and not quite out of earshot “…is the bicycles”

Rail workers carefully park their backhoes and attachments on the lawn so the all important, non-existent, traffic isn't affected, lawn comes off second-best

I sense another noisy night - #railway #machinery #nightworks

Filling in some unvisited streets of Huntingdale and Oakleigh East, including an infill of dead-ends on the site of a sold-off high school. Discovered that the Ferntree gully road service lane is bidirectional, I never knew that. Chilly wind, spring doing its up and down thing

Dahn sarf wiv number one son. Very windy. 100 days to go

the morning family battle blocks/Finska game is turning the back lawn to a mud pit

potted three assorted succulent cuttings that we brought home from a visit to the parents in law

Take it to the limit… of the 5km from home isolation boundary. Nine suburbs; Hughesdale, Oakleigh, Huntingdale, Oakleigh South, Clayton, Murrumbeena, Carnegie, Caulfield East, Caulfield North. Amusingly, only about 3m of Huntingdale!

A windy afternoon, lots of people relaxing a in a bit of a over-this-whole-covid-thing kind of way. Perhaps not as much masks or separation as is required, and as for the kids with the lemonade stand selling cans in the park - how the hell do they get away with that?

finally mowed the lawn, and mangled the lawn mower on the concrete thing in the lawn, then spent half an hour beating the blades back flat

Family ride around to drop off jigsaw puzzles, up the Stanley street cliff, through the park, along the creek

half an hour of careful weeding, a bucket full of onion weed into the green bin…. hopefully with all their corms

One does not simply buy bread… actually yes, one does

A wetlands visit, a cleanup, found a raincoat chucked under some bushes and a pouch on a track by the pond. Both stink from smokers, both full of ciggie packets and rollies. Get in the bin

onion weed, oxalis and some nasty looking clover-like burr plants, the lawn is not at its best right now!

Lazy meander around, a cool damp day. I spy with my little eye… a dumped fridge, tv, two washing machines, two mattresses and a large dead carp. Different wetlands, same POK! frogs. Current earworm; “Heaven”, Talking Heads

Still surfacing after all these years, #marksense and #punchcards from decades ago

Noticing the announcements last weekend as “internet time” ticked over 1600000000, sparked a thought about the numbers and their display and a pun on “prime time”. When is the time a prime? How would I display it? A quick query on wolfram alpha and the next few primes are available: 1600000009 | 1600000019 | 1600000021 | 1600000069 | 1600000091 | 1600000097 | 1600000099 | 1600000153 | 1600000163 | 1600000177 | 1600000183 | 1600000187 | 1600000223 | 1600000307 | 1600000319 | 1600000321 | 1600000331 | 1600000343 | 1600000357 | 1600000403.

To the wetlands, hear the POK! frogs, see the hordes in the parks and playgrounds, feel the chain fall off every time we push, pray it’ll hold together until I’m allowed to visit the LBS

Getting near Daylight Savings Time, the blackbirds[1] are calling ridiculously early in the morning, before first light

[1] Common blackbird

Widdershins around the triangle. By the end of the year all Melbourne’s spoonvilles will have spread and joined up and formed one mega-spoonville
