Finally had a nice sunny day on the weekend, sunday. Opened up the newly cleaned out shed at Annes house to find miss cat where i had left her, and this time minus roleys (annes pet feline) muddy foot prints, if only that cat knew how close it was to turning into a dim sim. Rolled the bike out the front , Anne jumped on and we were offfff. Plan was to go to Maldon, checked at K-Flat to see if anne was still on theback, she was, so Maldon it was.

Was a nice ride along the narrow country roads heading to Maldon. Along the way we passed many a beatiful cottage with smoke flowing from the chimney, the smell was better than any nagapoocha incense. Would happily trade in my busy melborne life for one of those cottages and a wood chopping job, couple of them even looked like there was room for sis and munchkin to move in. One day i'll have one, not now but one day. With that cottage will come an outside bath, wood pizza oven, kiln, pottery wheel, lots of big fires and a little Bob and (anne to name girl) running around.

Maldon was nice, lots of funky shops with funky old stuff, my sisters would of went nuts shopping, only thing we bought was some yummo chocolate and lunch. Nice Japanese shop in Maldon, beautiful 1720 japanese dresser (sold already 1.2k) considered ram raid that night. My Favourite thing in Maldon was a shop which had nice hand woven stiched wateva, chunky wool rugs, could feel the oil in the sheeps wool and the smell was nice as well. Would be nice to fall asleep on one of those rugs in front of open fire after a hard day of chopping wood. Lots of other bikes about, met alot of them up the Maldon lookout hill, you know the one recently on the news. Was where the F.B.I found alien remains. Nah made that bit up, was a nice hill however.

Maldon was a nice place to be on such a nice day in the sun, ride home was fun, Anne had to hold on tight hehe. Cant wait for Spring.

Hello Hello. Although I’m tempted to use this blog as a shrine to Cat (my Ducati 848) I have decided it might not be healthy to let a motor and two wheels dominate my thoughts. well that’s what I think Doc Phil would say anyway.My first post isn't going to be about what I did today, nor how the current climate conditions in Melbourne are affecting my life routine. There will be no photos of Autumn tree leaves that have drifted onto the footpath, and I don’t have any kids that I know of to take photos of, so what will he dribble on about I hear you thinking, hmmm good question



........................5 minutes of starring at the nightly news like a zombie..............




I had a meeting at the newly renovated (not complete) Westfield Doncaster this morning. As my appointment didn't show up I took some time to wander the maze of new outlets in search of a wake me up coffee. The first new glitzy architecturally designed shop I came across was nice, overdone but still nice, then the next and another and another. All the shops had a common theme, it wasn’t the large shiny glass windows and panel walls, nor the rich colored timbers, stainless and aluminum used in the fit outs. The common theme was the uninteresting overpriced clothes, shoes shampoo candles and anything else that has been programmed into our minds that we need. The world is on a path to a not so good place me think. Things that matter like friends, family being kind to fellow humans, no longer priority. Working, having nice and lots of possessions more work bla bla Farken bla

hehe now thats cute. Don’t ask me what I was going on about in the above, just sick of Melbourne me think, would like a tree house in a forest somewhere to live. Need a twisty road through forrest as well so I can ride Cat. OH and I found that wake up coffee as well, it was gooood. XX
