Self Rescuing Princess FAIL!
I haven’t blogged in a while so on the way home I was thinking about all the things I could blog about … – About how I refuse to confront mapgies thisRead More…
Magpies already? Embracing the fear of a 3 year old.
Yesterday morning I was approaching the entrance to the park at Tarragindi (where a magpie terrorised me incessantly last season) to discover a magpie having a go at a little girl agedRead More…
We ain’t in Moorooka anymore, Sheldon.
So far I’ve avoided cycling to Garden City, Mt Gravatt. I’ve always caught the bus. However, I figured it was time to conquer Kessells Rd once and for all. It was aRead More…
No, I will not use my bell on footpaths: I’m not that scary.
Yesterday I worked from 9am-10pm. Got a lift home. Had a rough night’s sleep. Worked today until 9pm. Cycled home. Joy over the last 48 hours has been slim (bar that providedRead More…
Graffiti one day, gone the next
It’s no secret that I love street art. It’s no secret that I love graffiti. Not a fan of the tags. Love the pieces. I love colour. I love paint. I loveRead More…
Sheldon a victim of unprovoked attack in Valley
Went to the Valley last night for dinner and dancing with friends. I cycled in because I, well, really enjoy it. I prefer it above train, bus and taxi. I like theRead More…
Brrrr cold.
This is my first winter with Sheldon. Sure, a Brisbane winter but it’s still winter! And Brisbane people (or is it just me?) are notoriously bad at buying proper winter clothes. YouRead More…
Sheldon’s brush with all that is sexy
“I’ve been everywhere man. I’ve been everywhere. I’ve been to Moorooka, Woolloongabba, West End, Stones Corner, tied onto a ute, to a garden fence … ” It’s been a big week soRead More…
Going full throttle … e-bimbo style.
So … My throttle broke yesterday. It got stuck on ‘go’. This proved to be somewhat dangerous, you know, with the whole requirement to not only stop at the red walk manRead More…
Saving the world, one dorky outfit at a time
Soooo. City chic or dorky dork? I was just invited to a ‘Style Over Speed’ cycling event on Friday night at King George Square. However, I’m not sure if they’ll let meRead More…
In our Queensland, but not in our name.
Updated Monday May 21 As at Sunday May 20, I have decided to document LNP’s regressive policies, extremist legislative changes and ultra-conservative public commentary that has taken place since their ‘landslide’ parliamentaryRead More…
All is fair in love and peak hour traffic war
I left work at 6pm tonight because, despite having a stack of work to do, I was hungry. Working from home with dinner in my belly seemed like the only solution. IRead More…
Winter Night Rider
It’s winter. Which means lots more night riding. And clothing. Last night I left at sunset to head to South Bank for dinner. I gotta say, cycling at sunset is a niceRead More…
Eastern Great Egret makes almost dying everyday worthwhile
Last week I almost died. Again. This time it was a red light runner. It was a rainy night. I was on my way home from work. The roads were shiny andRead More…
Instead of telling someone who rides a bicycle how dangerous it is…
Stolen from someone from Facebook who probably stole it from somewhere else. Worth a share though! www.budmag.ua/ mexes.com.ua/
Eco-electric-domestic goddess (and the tale of 30 cupcakes)
I don’t own a car. Nor do I have access to one for work at the moment which – it turns out – makes event management rather challenging. But I was determinedRead More…
Forgot to catch the train. My soggy ride home. Oops!
I cycled to work this morning. Figured it was reasonably hard core as it was raining. Really it was just spitting so, although the bikeways were empty and the paths relatively freeRead More…
All too much before the first coffee
Sooooooo. Forgot to charge Sheldon’s battery last night. Everything was all plugged in nicely. Forgot to actually turn the switch on at the powerpoint. Woops! So this morning I was all kittedRead More…
A race to the bottle shop!
Tonight I passed a bottle shop, the one at Annerley. Then I contemplated red wine. I contemplated red wine because I had to take my bike into repairs this morning. My ownRead More…
