Yes, that is right, the big announcement - we are getting married!
I proposed to her on Friday the 4th of April and obviously she said yes.  We are so happy!
Anyway, that’s all the news at the moment, except to say I’ll probably get pretty busy with planning things so that will keep me from posting […]

On Saturday I was lucky enough to get the chance to go for a ride again.  I needed to practice cornering - getting the whole countersteering thing right and building up the confidence.
We also went down to the bike dealers and checked out all of the different bikes.  Well, not all, but quite a few.  […]

I made a booking today, and I will be going for my licence in four weeks!  I can’t wait!  I’m hoping to get a bit more riding time in before then.
After I get my licence, I won’t actually have a motorbike.  So I’m going to have to save up.  I think it will be quite […]

My friend Nick, once again, organised the day.  He hadn’t told me where we were going, he just told me to be ready.  So he arrived to pick me up, and […]

So anyway, here’s how my first road bike foray went down:

I just want to wish my wonderful girlfriend a very Happy Birthday!  She turns twenty today.
That’s all - I’m too tired to blog this morning.  And too busy, because I’m about to go motorbike riding.

As an additional insight into me, I give you my top 7 all-time favourite movies, and the reasons why each of these movies should be your favourites too.  I only include standalone movies - no movies out of series allowed - so if a movie is from a group of three or more films it […]

As I sit at my computer, procrastinating (I should be wrapping presents or going to sleep), I thought I should just quickly post a Christmas post.
It is important to remember the real meaning of Christmas - and that meaning is Jesus the Christ. (After all, it is Him that Christmas is named after).
I found this […]

Seeing as I set a car theme with the header image, I might as well show you some pictures of, and share some info about, the car in the header.
It was (I don’t have it any more *sniff*) my Ford Falcon XR8.  5.4 litre (330ci) V8, six-speed manual, lots of leather -  it was such […]
