So for the second year running I wasn't able to attend the Tour Down Under cycling event in Adelaide. CJ went and had a great time. I missed him terribly. But he did bring back some nice clothes for me and lots of photos to look at and lots of hugs. (What a nice man). I'm wearing a cool polo top which fits me wonderfully. One day, I hope to get back there again, and in my dreams I still ride my bike and dance and cook and garden and work... The Babe
Hey Gang! Some of you may remember Bond St Boogie. Best little Jook Joint in town. Enjoy! CJ
Seen at Unley this morning. CJ
I've never seen Adelaide look so good for the past 25 years. Had a lovely ride back from Mawson Lakes today and poked around here and there on the bike. This place had special significance for me many many years ago. CJ
Another monster Day One crowd! The cyclists are in there somewhere...CJ
An institution in Adelaide, lots of celebs come here. And you can see why! Geez I need to learn Italian, just as soon as I've learnt Spanish, Samantha. CJ
At the Cancer Classic Street Race last night which was won by Aussie Matt Goss from HTC. This photo shows him crossing the finish line - a total blur. So not only do you Feel the Rush you can also see it! This is such a groovy town that a little later, many of the Pros rode back to the Hilton a mere 2 Km away. Crossing the road I saw the winner pull up waiting for the lights to change - even had his winners jersey still on. So a spectator who was obviously present asked him how he went in the goddamn race to which Matt replied "I won". Wonder how the spectator felt afterwards? CJ
The drive to Adelaide was different in trying to avoid flood waters of Western Victoria in mid Summer. Anyway SA, is dry warm and sunny. Pic taken just short of Tailem Bend. All of us on the road were getting tired and cranky. CJ
Today, I had a massage and then my Support Worker took me home in my chair to meet CJ for lunch. He was at work. He made me a warm meal of tuna and vegetables and for desert a fabulous small bowl of meringue, mixed summer berries, a dollop of yoghurt and ice cream with some raspberry sauce - Haighs of course! A cup of tea and I was done. Then we walked back through the Sale Botanic Park to Wilson Lodge. A really nice day. The Babe
I'm on a roll with these videos. Despite what you all might think, I hardly drink at all now. Three sips and I'm done. Bummer!! The Babe.
