Waking up yesterday proved to be a difficult task. The run Sunday afternoon had taken its toll, and when HI rolled over and curled up to me I knew that the task of getting up would be beyond me. So I gave in without a fight and enjoyed an extra hours sleep.
After a painless day [...]

Fell out of bed after HI alarm had gone off a couple of times. Wasn’t totally convinced that I would have any company for a while, so I made my way to the lounge and turned the football on. I had just settled down when HI stumbled in lay down on the couch and looked [...]

What a surprise, there are a few drops of rain in the air and QANTAS airlines grinds to a fucking halt.

Gotcha again, yet another dreadful song to roam around in your head for the rest of the day LOL.
Today didn’t get of to the start that we had planned, despite the phone alarms ringing on cue it was just too hard to get out of bed. To be honest, I think the sudden explosion in [...]

I couldn’t quite believe it when the alarm started going off this morning, it seemed like i had been in bed for a grand total of 5 minutes. I did hit the snooze button for the first time in ages, and felt HI curl up next to me and start to get comfortable. Not that [...]

What a week! My break over Christmas and New Year already seems like an age away. After a really relaxing weekend, I had an early morning flight to Melbourne, as I had a new member of my team starting, and I wanted to spend the first couple of days with them discussing their role and [...]

The plan for the weekend was to have a long steady run on Saturday morning, and longish ride today. But as they say “the best laid plans”…. I woke up early Saturday morning gasping for breath, needing to take some Ventolin so the early morning run was out on the back burner.
After a bit of [...]

Ah, gotcha ya!!! Now I have that dreadful song stuck in your head, has anyone seen Pete Burns lately, if not check this out (not for the those of a weak disposition).
Yesterdays rest paid off, as I was wide awake this morning at 4.30AM with loads of excess energy. I had a quick bite to [...]
