Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

Not missing riding today though feeling healthy enough to.
Good day to continue watching The Crown.
Also really enjoying watching our travel photos rolling by as I watch the big screen. Glad I did not sell the 2k 27" Dell as it has superb colour and is such nice trips through memory.
Realized I had not seen some episodes in Season 2

Gusts to 40kph. Tried to see some meteors last night - moon was very bright so that plus typical tropical muck in the atmosphere had no luck.
Woken by the fire alarm aka false alarm at 4am again. Lovely sunshine for a couple of hours now the showers are moving in so better for media watching.
Likely won't stay awake long as too little sleep but enjoying The Crown.
The Aberfan Episode is very well done and sad.

Don't like when I don't know the word. :(

Ugh ....partner accidently triggered the fire alarm remote button. Enough to wake me after way too short sleep. :eek: :sleep:
Slept until 2 pm - rainy chilly day..read and watched The Crown and made some cinnamon raisin toast.

Noraly finally getting to the north and the hills. Mountains next time.
4 hours sleep so far but will nap.
........
Ended up napping until 2.30 pm so got 9 hours sleep - lucky the guy cancelled the meetup in Babinda tomorrow. Might not have gotten up in time. Weird sleep pattern.
Lovely weather ...high teens at night high 20s in day ....very crisp.
Very crisp starting early - 14 st 10 pm...all rugged up watching The Crown.

First ride in a while tomorrow.
Maybe ?

6.30 am Inclined for a ride but only 3.5 hrs of sleep last night .....again!!!
Too cold to get out early 12.9c and feels it on the deck.- mebbe can get 4-5 hours of sleep then ride for a 1 pm lunch.

Got out for a bit on the bike. Catheter was fine and scored 2 Whopper Jr for $6 ....won't need supper.
Not thrilled yet with the risers - think maybe I need to dump the up and back and stick with straight up - because it is not stock bars I'm limited in options but might bite the bullet and get the cable extensions.
