A red, red rose.

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Luve's like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve!
And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!

I heard sirens

And when I looked out from my balcony I saw ...


A big fire truck and a couple of police cars.

Another fire truck turned up as well.


I could see a crowd forming and so I wandered down to have a closer look. I walked around the corner and this is what I saw.


Ouch !!

There was no one in the car and no one was hurt.

From the other side.



From the marks on the ground and from what I overheard the police saying the car had lost control and went between the fire hydrant and the building and then ran into the red ute which had been parked just down from the fire hydrant.
I'm not sure why they lost control and I think there was another car involved, as there was a car with it's bumper torn off a little further up the street.

The police just didn't believe that the car had missed the hydrant and the building.


It's not the prettiest.

But it'll do for riding shorts.

New bathroom.

Well a repainted shower anyway. Smells something awful. :(

Steve's eye

Love the bubble.

He had a vitrectomy done to repair a tear in his retina and after they drain the vitreous, his eye was filled with octafluropropane. It's back to half full of vitreous and he said that it's like being half under water, upside down.

Something like this I'm guessing, only without the palm trees and the golden sand ...


With thanks to mathetdjam for the photo.

Tiburon bike ride

Here's the map.

Here's something that you don't see every day.

Following Trav.

Poor boy, couldn't sit down on the ride home... :(

But he did very well and made it.

It was a great ride, very windy, but reasonably warm and awesome pizza at the end.

Here's a link to a video on the golden Gate bridge, demonstrating how windy it is.
You can just see the first bridge upright.
