Need another layer - woke up chilled despite 23c AND a duvet. I suppose I could turn the fan off. Had a decent second round of sleep. My watch sez I'm getting 7.5 hours a night average but it must count chunks and patch them together. Allergies a problem lately at night. Marc lost his travelling...

I Like Dark Wind need to restart it tho. So much going on Wheel hard to track ...I'm iffy but some is spectacular if derivative - Amazon spent a ton money on it. Back on a track kick. Some insane real crash footage from the past. 🍿

Dire did not finish

rain and more rain and a chilly damp 22C. Windy but rain clearing - maybe a small ride tomorrow. Not inclined to get wet tho. A burger would be nice. Enjoyed this Not much riding but a very fascinating fellow living in a cave all his life and fetching his meals from the lagoon, even farming...

Rush on Prime great movie - rewatch but was blown away the first time. Good cast

Tried one of these when they first came out and did not see the purpose, too heavy, insane speed limit breaking in 2nd gear and the DCT was erratic. Pretty bike and some liked the DCT 600lb 170 HP at 10k rpm and 95 lb-ft of torque. Ticket magnet. 36 mpg - 18.5L tank smaller than the VFR800...

I do like Kevin Bacon and while not my usual cuppa the reviews are excellent. 🍿

Lotsa rain. Partner working 7 am to 11 pm on Aus election day. Veg day with the pooch. 🐶 :sleep:

Finished Wheel of Time Season 3 and was "okay". Big special effects but found it too derivative of Dune in the desert sequence. Generally like the cast but it's such a sprawling tale. If it was 6 months between Seasons I might be more enthusiastic. It's not helping that I'm reading GofT AND...

I'm down to the last three episodes of Wheel of Time then wait a year. I really liked Bosch and his daughter in the series.

There is simply not enough density of people in Canada along with the rest of impediments. Took a while even for New York to Washington. Will be less expensive and faster to hop an electric short hop plane. It's early yet tho. This has promise...

While on alternate vacation ideas. I'm pitching this to my dottor and she is interested. Fiji Airlines. https://www.fijiairways.com/en-hk/flights-to-cairns You need to get to Vancouver which is easy. Maybe even spend a few days there if you have friends to visit. Same with a Fiji break for a few...

Even in the 80s we found getting around Japan straight forward in Tokyo, Mt Fuji and Kyoto. Just road signs were confusing ( pre GPS days ) but Mt Fuji was such an easy landmark we managed driving on our own. I had no issue last year communicating online with the self guided tour company I...

Truly otherworldly amazing geology/biology dating back to Gondwanaland and species from then found no where else. Since she’s professional geologist she explains it all very well. We explored flying there when we saw a National Geo on the Dragon Blood trees but the hoop jumping and cost was...
