Shifting home …
This is just to notify anybody who is interested that I have shifted my old “aqualung” and “small pieces” blogs from Typepad to here on a self-hosted WordPress site … I think I’ve cleaned up all the links during the import of old posts, but you might need to be...Of ice buckets and absent friends
It has become one of the most successful charitable memes, certainly more successful than anticipated. In fact, it could be argued that the whole thing started by accident, but however it started, it currently defines “viral”, to the extent that is has attracted...#ausvotes 2013

With the crash a couple of weeks ago, and a week in the sun and warmth of Darwin, it’s been a while between rides. We took a gentle ride around the parklands of Adelaide on Sunday; by the time we’d run into a bunch of friends along the way and stopped for...BUPA Challenge Update 1 (possibly the first of many)
OK – so I’ve decided to ride 92km next January, and the furthest I’ve ridden up until now is about 40km less than that. Time to start work … Last Thursday I decided to push it a bit on a ride I’ve done before: That’s actually the fastest...
