    Sounds great,

    Last year I did three weeks riding a Bullet around Northern India and the year before Saigon to Hanoi two up on a Honda 150

    This year had an operation paid for by the workers, next year depends on where work has their conference....fingers crossed Thailand or

    Vietnam. Sus them out as a gig for a couple of years.

    Last year's transport was first class trains... this year we're slumming it with a rental car

    I see you've got one of those AT bikes, the Hop Card version... I understand the pillion seat is rather commodious...

    Our new washing machine arrived today. I'll be able to wash my bike jacket and pants in this one rather than hand-washing. Woo hoo!

    Oh, and I got my 36000k service for my bike today and they managed to fix the one tiny annoyance with it. It has now moved from mostly awesome to totally awesome. I guess that means I can crash it now that it's finally perfect.

    Despite what Gregory's calendar may suggest, spring has certainly put her first foot in the door... the first Flanders Poppies in the garden are out, there are tulips out in a neighbour's garden and the magnolias in the street are in full bloom... and the tuis are claiming the frangipani before it blooms... all reasons to be cheerful...
