once more into the warmth

well.. finally got back from freezing cold melbourne. just my luck to get there in time for a polar front moving in, whihc mad the wind icy cold.. you wouldnt think it was nearly summer.

ive come to the conculsion that Melbournians are totally in denial about their weather, because whenever you say MEL has crap weather, they are the first to defend it...and yet, amazingly everytime im down there.. the weather is crap. hmm.. although, the germans have a saying, wann engels reisen, der sonnescheint (when angels travel, the sun shines) so im guessing im no angel.. well .. with a nickname like boser wolf....is it any wonder?

have finally decided to buy a bike tomorrow.. and no.. sadly not a motor bike, just ya average push bike.. just to get around from A to B. i had no idea choosing a bike was such an arduous task.. or so varied in price. basically just wanted one to get around on and try to pump up the excercise levels before i get back into martial arts. having been a lazy pig over the past few months.. i really ned to get back into shape. BJJ (Brasilian JuJitsu) is still on offer at work.. and whats more to the point, sometimes the police protection services guys come down to use our gym to train, so i may end up sparring with one of them.. (lol like id last a second.. but think of the challenge) so really needing to get the endurance levels up. cycling, esp in this hilly city, seems a logical way to start. and then maybe work my way up to a nice motor bike once i get my head around having an equity morgage. (and you think im having problems deciding on a push bike.. wait til i start looking at motor versions... sporty or classic? )

well.. got one more week in sydney, and then off to brisvegas for a few days for work, then back to sydney for a week, before Marius arrives from Switzerland.. then dragging him to Bris for a week as work just told me i have to go up to train some teams on the new system.. and somehow in the middle there i have to make my way to Adelaide for a day and Perth for 2 days. sigh.. spreading my mayhem across the nation!
