Unutterably Silly So what are you doing RIGHT NOW?

[recluse]

Bicycling!
The joy of the open road!
Feeling the wind in your ear hair!
That special feeling in the seat of your being when you go over a curb!
Being run off the road by speeding tricyclists!
The friction burns from ill fitting bike shorts!
Helmet hair!

And he frequently moves his bed around the house, picks a new spot, lays down with his elephant Beanie Baby in his mouth and knead the bed until he falls asleep.

Aw, how cute. *Big Kiss, Petrush* Hi, recluse.

Yay! Now you can travel all over in style.

Well, once your poor quadraceps let you.

Our bikes were stolen before we moved. Since there was so much traffic down here, we didn't replace them. I miss my bike.

Drivers here are so insane I'd never dare ride a bike around my neighborhood! No bike lanes on the roads at all!

Hi, Dreams!

Petrush belches his love!

We have bike lanes here.
Cars use them as passing lanes. .

We were there 2.30 - 3pm. Rode past the bike shop. Did not see you. We were rained on on the way there and back. (from Minyama) I struggled up and over Alex head.

Bloke said we could come up there and go for a ride when you get your bike legs. We have to get a tule thingy to carry the bikes on the towbar. I have to get my new bike too.

We have lots of bike paths around here. You don't need to get on the road very much. Here is a map of our immediate area. Hey! we are on that map!

sarvo

Hey, SneakySnake, should I put this word in my new 'strine dictionary?

Nope! Noosa is whole world away from here(Minyama).



Marc travelled a long way to Maroochydore to buy his bike.

Probably 'sarvo rather. But that would imply that I haven't elevated it to free-standing word status in my own private lexicon, so for me it will always be "sarvo". I tend to use dictionaries only as guides, and will happily vary or makeup words if I think they're wrong or inadequate.

Oh, BTW, for the question, "sarvo"="this afternoon".

Cheers,
Marc (back from his ride, with blancmange patellas)

I think you are correct 'sarvo would be better. Seeing as I spell yesty as yesty instead of yest'y, your spelling of sarvo is fine.

How's the jelly legs?

[recluse]

In a week, Marc will be zipping around like a New York bike messenger on methamphetamine.
With worse coordination but nicer bike outfit.

For some reason, I keep picturing Marc wearing hot pants while riding his bike.
Odd, that.

Just finshed watching "The Pacific".......a 10 part series re-run.

[phenomshel]

Watched the second part of "Sherlock" online via PBS. Good stuff. As awful as the premise sounds to anyone who's a mystery purist, they did a really great job of putting Sherlock and Holmes in the 21st century.
