Only second to getting them to bed. :stuck_out_tongue:

It reminds me how awesome bikes are, just any bike, two wheels, pedals and some handlebars and something magic happens

confirmed. Still remember the second I realised I was pedalling by myself. Absolute scenes.

i bought a new mixer tap with a black hose cos my 5 year old one burst at the minitaps, that count?

I think the Tawny Frogmouth right outside my window is nesting

Love tawnys! [SJ happy memory trigger… Mum rescued a baby one with a broken wing that ultimately couldn’t be released back into the wild (so kept as a family pet). Never had a cage, so it would fly over and sit on your shoulder if you were watching tv. Always thought it was a male, until one day it laid an egg.]

Funniest thing I’ll read today.

SJ: Re traced (walked) a couple of rides in which i lost a part from my forks. Today a big small joy managed to find said part.
SJ2: didn’t have to buy expensive replacement part.

There is one nesting with a chick on the edge of the Trin Warren Tam-Boore Bellbird Waterhole in Royal Park.

I was there the other day and heaps of twitchers were looking up in the tree, took us ages to work out what they were all looking at.

twitchers such an unfortunate name for an extremely innocent past time.

SJ: An ebay buyer got back to me with photos of my old blue frame built up. He’s put a heap of work into stripping the powder coat, repainting and building up. Made my day.

Rad when that happens. Sell a bike and the buyer loves it more than you do.
