There were no exciting coincidental number-related adventures today. Oh hang on, I did ride 42km though.

ow, the pain
Yesterday I experienced the worst massage I have ever had. Perhaps if I hadn’t have paid money for it, I wouldn’t have sat there hoping that it was going to magically get better, and maybe it wasn’t actually that bad. But no. My incompetent masseur was prodding and poking with all his force at things that weren’t even muscles, and was digging into my muscles, perhaps hoping to tear them from my body. My shoulders, previously feeling not sore at all, are now aching, and the muscles are feeling beaten up and bruised. Some of the Thai massages I had in Thailand were a bit rough, but at least they didn’t feel like torture. Then again, what do you expect from a massage stand set up in a mall? (we’ll ignore the question of why I was in a mall) Ack.
And to the Americans who thought their petrol was expensive – at the moment, in Australia, we’re paying the equivalent of $3.83-$3.97/gallon.

milking cows in flight
And here I was thinking nothing interesting had ever happened on my birthdate…
Elm Farm Ollie (known locally as “Nellie Jay”) was the first cow to fly in an airplane, doing so on 18 February 1930. On the same trip she also became the first cow milked in flight. This was done for scientists to observe midair effects on animals, among other reasons.
Not satisfied with these feats, the people who milked her put the milk into paper cartons and parachuted them to fans waiting below.
PS. What “other reasons”?

i for one…
I’m house-sitting at the moment, and feeding the cats that belong to the house. One of the cats is ignoring me, but the other welcomed me as its new overlord as soon as it realised I would be feeding it.
Meanwhile, back to the weekend adventuring – this was camp on Monday night. It’s on Mount Ramsay on Wilson’s Prom, the granite boulders are at the summit, and provided excellent dinner tables, as well as sun lounges.
