countryside

Just some photos from our ride along the dykes on a stormy afternoon. You can click on them to see them bigger if you like. They call it the polders. Dykes, bike paths, water canals, green fields, fat sheep and horses.

we got two wheels baby

It's all eating waffles and riding bikes. Everyday.

I'm considering marrying smoked cheese I love it so.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why there are so many ridiculously tiny horses in these here watery fields? Not just ponies, tiny ponies. Maybe it's to do with the whole land of the giants myth? Anyone?

Deers are magical animals and they live in the park, and they have bounding babies. OMG.

The air is rich with the smells of summer blossoms and green green grass.
Water is brimming up all around, just like in the pictures...

People stand around beside the herring stall dangling little fishes down their throats. Not me though.

It's not even dark til 11 at night.

... and Holland are wowing Europe with their fresh football and their previously unimaginably orange wardrobes, we are hearing the roar of it all from here. Oranje Oranje Oranje!

Got Wheels

Finally I fixed my bike after some drunk bastards kicked the wheel in...

I had the best day just riding it around doing chores...

I love my bike.

I also visited Gertrude Street and saw a heartbreaking piece upstairs by Starlie Geikie. The Great Alone. I am pretty easily pleased by art with needlepoint. This one's particularly lovely.

I went to Seventh for old times sake and saw some rather nice paintings of skulls and flowers.

Then I visited Neon Parc, which might just be my new favourite. Is it their floors? Is it the nice logo? Could it be the location location location? Whatever, I like it.

jack o clubs

too many clubs?

we had soup club on the weekend... i made a huge pot of ham and barley soup. we ate it. it was GOOD.

jess and i may have started a new club. it'll be big. LET ME TELL YOU. The Hopeless Cunts Rockstar Brunch Club may just be our ticket to lunch.

i am a new member of bike gang. as the very thoughtful, clever and handsome simon has given me a new bike. WHICH I LOVE. so much i have ridden it all over town. EVEN up hills. if you know me you would know how reluctant i have been in the past to do ANY riding that is not just actually me being impatient because walking to the pub takes too long. it's not because of it's super amazing gears and lightweight frame and super suspension. nuh-uh. the melbourne has none of that. it's old, tall, slender, silver and strong. and it's called the melbourne HORST. simon also took the trouble to set me up with lights and locks and helmet as he knows my devil may care biking style and amazing ability to stack and scrape... he doesn't want to be held responsible if i die in a bike accident... YOU WHAT! YOU GAVE HER A BIKE? SIMON!!

Thanks Simon!

i had dinner with the family. not mine but still very lovely. i said goodbye to my most glamourous friend. miss andrea i miss you again already... i have quite a few glamourous friends. it pleases scruffy me alot that they will spend time with such riffraff... i also watched the soccer and lounged around abit. handsome soccer players.

on that thrilling note... i look at all these posts and wonder why anyone comes here.

let's ponder together....

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....
