So, the servers my site lives on went a bit kerfluey. Back in action now though. Apparently.
Highlights of the past week: curry night, aid-climbing the chinup bar in our house, and dreadlock removal.
Lowlights: lack of sleep, supervisor failing to materialise.
I present you with the best birthday cake I have seen in some time – created by us for one of our friends 30th birthday. It was most delicious.
(For infidels out there, it’s Bender from Futurama)
The tassels were finally added, my Doctor Who scarf is complete. Just as it decides to turn into Spring, by-passing this whole cold wet snowy Winter stuff entirely. But at least I have a fancy scarf to wear.
Saturday’s ride brought penguins and apple crumble. Both of those actually came after the ride. Over six hours we covered 107 km, and 50+ checkpoints (I can’t be bothered recounting how many we actually got to) all around Phillip Island. Then cheese and vegie burger toasties, with tomato sauce of course, and apple crumble with custard. Then penguins. I recommend the penguin parade at Phillip Island if you’re into visiting over-priced tourist traps with coach loads of internationals, and sitting on concrete bleachers to view a floodlit beach. Or if you’ve found that standard stores just don’t stock enough toy penguins to satisfy you.
They were cute though, I’ll give them that. When watching them heading to their burrows from the boardwalk afterwards, one 10 year old girl proclaimed “It’s so cute, awwwwwww [noise becoming increasingly high pitched to the point where I was worried she might explode if the penguin did anything cuter]”.
There was no penguin under the car when we got out though.
My favourite discovery of the day: a knitted version of the cast of Dawn of the Dead. I think the only worthwhile knitting project to follow up my Doctor Who scarf would logically have to be a knitted swarm of zombies.
