There's no place like home

There is no place like home... and i have been home for around 10 weeks... back at work for 9 of these. its taken a bit to get back in to going to work each day and noticing i only have weekends to do things like sort out my photos, read, clean a house (and not my tent) catch up with friends and pay bills.

I have found that i'm too fit now to just settle back into riding 12kms to work each day.. so now i ride 25kms through the Swan Valley (photos on the way). I have to contend a bit with a few cars but its not too bad. I also get to ride a bit along the Swan River... this has prompted my enrolment into swimming lessions to improve my ability to do freestyle.. So i'm also swimming twice a week.

The long term plan is to buy a kayak and paddle this on the Swan River after work during summer. I hope to get the kayak b4 Christmas... but finding the time is proving hard...

I have been very lucky with work as in the last 9 weeks i have travelled to our outback twice. My 1st trip was to a town called Onslow via Exmouth. The 2nd trip was to Halls Creek, via Broome, Kununurra, Warmun and back to Kununurra... then to get home i had to spend the weekend in Darwin. This was great as i was able to visit family I haven't seen for some 15-20 years.

I have decided that i'll keep the weblog going. Not sure who is still going to read it now i'm home. perhaps my friends i met overseas. Stories I will write will be about my cycling trips i do at home on weekends and sometimes my trips to work...

One day i'm going to workout how to get my new Ricoh to talk to my new iMac so i can send load up some photos of Perth... Somethings aren't ment to be easy!

soon photos and a short story about cycling in the south west with friends...
