Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

Enjoying my revived Samsung 4k Screen. Since I expected to get a new screen I stripped out all the HDMi cables and that led to a much needed clean up of my entire desk area.
One issue with living in the open tho screened deck is the constant rain of small debris drifting on everything. Rain forests are thick with organic matter from pollen to a complete dragon fly wing and every day a few leaves drift in as rain forest trees constanting shed all year.
Hoping our new place will be sealable with a HEPA filter....be a great help considering my impacted sinus that needs surgery.....

Finished Free Ride the Itchy Boots book and completely enjoyed it. One can reliably assess she was crazy to take on what she did with woefully inadequate gear and preparation...which she freely admits. A very human story and illuminates part of her hidden in the upbeat videos.
Hoping for a sequel book tho this is the important one.
Going to back and view Season One with the book still fresh.

Hoping to get out to see F1 this arvo but still nursing a cold.....partner worse off than I am.

A chilly 14 in a house with no heat at 11 pm. Winter in tropical Cairns...feeling very untropical at the moment. Feels like the Isle of Skye when stayed overnight in SUMMER!!!!

Geez she's got over 100,000 members on her FB fan club alone.
No Idea how she keeps up.

Thought very briefly about sitting out on the deck but if I get chilled I cannot warm up so ...back in bed after short pit stop. 13.3C and falling. Covers still warm and added heavier hoodie to the layers.
Happens that my warmest hoodie is Itchy Boots designed and with the hood and heavier material quite good.


Hmmm did not prep for this 12.7 C
Still going down 11.2C
My weather site said it got to 10.9
Partner claims 13 ....was bloody chilly

Properly dressed for chilly night with no heat this time - down to 13.3 already.
Enjoying Project Hail Mary on Audible

Oh that is so hard to take.

Looking at the weather on the Gold Coast. 22C during the day and about 10C before the sun rises, and this is their winter.

It's not an issue if you know it's coming....did not the night before - last night was fine.
Gold Coast is 1,600 km further south.
Most places further south or on the Tablelands have a heat source.
