Gotta love cheap flights around the country .. anyhow with Birthday last week & the temptation to disappear (kinda - sorry it was not permanent) where have I been ????
here are a few pics as a teaser .. those who know dunna give the game away
however it was the most excellent weekend .. with a job housesitting where the occupants had gone away for the weekend & only needing to feed the dogs & cats (no problem) & the promise of a birthday treat or two how could i resist..
so on the plane I get friday nite .. where the captain kindly informs us when he called into the destination at lunch time it was a balmy 32 degrees and no wind .. now later in the evening it was a raging southerly and 15 degrees .. the whole plane laffed rather nervously as most were in very little clothing .. for me having been warned it was cold I had on hand my bike jacket to put on ..
must add here that to get my birthday treat I really needed to bring my bike gear .. ohh ok theni am in

so thanks to a kber who picked me up from the airport to take me to my housesitting "job" it was great to catch up .. after spending a nite with a hard body .. namely a staffy called amber who once was in bed died rather nicely & would not move over .. (only to be told she is not allowed to sleep on the bed ..)
Saturday dawned fine & the southerly the day prior cooled the temp enough to make it perfect biking weather .. so geared up & awaited my chauffer to pick me up .. so a few bike shops were checked out .. but we flagged that idea & took off for our lunch destination .. spent a couple of fab hours out there .. & off again ..
around some great twisties & sweepers & when he pulled over wondered wot was wrong .. well fark me .. handed me the keys & said happy birthday .. take it for a ride ... are you sure ??? ok then I was off .. well hell love the extra power & nice to pass cars with just opening the throttle .. did my usual trick & rode past waving with a huge grin on my face .. but yes I finally rode back to pick him up ..
then it was off again gas up, & another few hundy ks to our next destination .. after talking the cafe owner to let us have a drink (he had closed) we sat on the grass & took in the amazing scenery .. back to the house & a great nite ofalcohol and ... well lets just leave it there
sunday & it was serious recovery time .. waiting for the house occupants to get home & catch up before I caught a ride to the airport & home again ...
it was seriously the best birthday treat I have had in quite a few yrs .. thank you hon .. will see you again soon![]()
