For the first two years that we lived here the olive tree ignored us, I think it overheard the conversation where we discussing whether to chop it down and decided that it had better grow some fruit.
There are only a few of them, and I've got no idea how to prepare them or even to recognise when they're ripe! Might have to ask the old Greek lady over the back fence for some olive assistance.

Bugger, bugger, bugger; an expensive speed hump
Met a speed hump on the 5th of January, the Edge fell off, the bracket is cracked. Posted it off to be repaired, under warranty I hope, and hoped for the best...
Three weeks and not a word, today I called to find it can't be repaired (sad) but they are waiting on a replacement unit (happy).

A well-earned VB after Christmas shopping
Not much to say really. Walked over to Chadstone to avoid the mayhem that is the Christmas carpark, made a precision raid on the shops, acquired what was required, then left, post haste.
Here's the celebratory beer.

Melburn-Roobaix
Damn that was fun!
Major thanks to organisers and participants, I'm not sure what I expected but damn it was good!
Slept exceptionally well on Saturday night, disturbed only by bad dreams of pavé and col d'ugly!
Anyone with GoogleEarth can follow the route of the big blue bike by clicking on the track, but please no comments about the obvious navigational difficulties -- our route may be sub-optimal but it seemed to work at the time -- that was all part of the fun!

Night ride to Richmond
Enjoyable evening ride in to Richmond by the light of the three-quarter moon and a flashing bike light. Bike paths by night are nearly lethal!

We exist
OK, after literally months of banging my head against Google's unhelpful help staff and being told over and over again that they won't reset the password on ajft.blogger.com, I've given up and created a new account. Even though *I* created the ajft account in blogger, and consquently ajft.blogspot.com, all the details show that *I* created it, but I can't tell them the password or email address I created it with. If I could tell them, then I'd be able to change my own damn password and wouldn't need to ask the unhelpful helpdesk.
