Well the big news from the Foxy Cyclist post was the reply from Mel in England. Hi Mel! Here is another shot from the bike trip. It was pretty pleasant riding through the Victorian High Country and with the exception of the endless miles of climbing up to Beechworth it was very relaxing too. Just the ticket for a good long weekend.
Other big news for me this week was my promotion. Moving to Canberra has been a tremendous success career wise and this latest news has given me a real boost. I have been feeling really good about work since changing jobs in November last year. Maybe I can retire the clunky old Daewoo now. Incidentally, the 'woo' has been a little temperamental again the last few days. The last couple of years has seen a whole series of repairs required on the 'woo' and the last batch involved the electric bits that fire the engine (thats as technical as I get sorry). The mechanic said the thingy had a lot of carbon scoring but he cleaned it up and it should last a bit longer. I guess I know how long a "bit longer" is now.
I also had to go the dentist this morning. This was so he could break a cap (that cost me $1500 a few years back) off so that he could do some work and then replace it with another cap (that also cost $1500). frustratingly when i got to the insurance office I still had only 6 days to go until the waiting period for caps expired. If I'd left it until the fitting appointment to pay it would have been covered. Still, you can't help bad luck.
Preparations are going well for the Dave & Lizzy birthday extravaganza at the Narrabundah Dog Track hehe. A lot of people at work have commented on it but it remains to be seen how many people actually show up. It will, after all, be bloody cold! I'll make sure I take some photos of the event to post in the blog.

Hi Dave,
Got the e-mail and came for a look. One of my soccer players has some chooks in West Hoart, so if you need any extra urban info, I can ask for you (although only cats to worry about down here and they have a 'guard dog' (in name only though) :))
G'day Andrew!
Dave,
Doggone dental health. Bess & Caesar send their regards & have some email addresses.
