Le Sabre de Canberra

Now that … is a SMILE!

Good to hear that.
I wasn't sure whether it was that or something a little hopeless and sinister. I'm pleased for you.
That walk with the crows looks wonderful.

Take care!
Watch out for those weird kinds of fun.

Yeah
…
but
…
are you okay?
And remember who's asking.

I hope face to face teaching is going well this year.

I loved the fact that those generous folk could name the apple variety, and it was one that I'd never heard of.

I have no idea, but your post reminded me of this wonderful sight from my travels in rural England last year. Thank you!
I was riding from Reading to a gorgeous spot called Shillingford that day.

Indeed!

Rest well, wherever you are!

Not say a word? That doesn't sound like you!
LOL

I was going to buy a ticket for the weekend if Oscar Piastri won the championship last year. Maybe 2027 instead.

I'm an F1 fan and I'm still hopeful for this weekend.
I reckon that the Bahrain GP on 10-12 April and the Saudi GP the following weekend are more likely to be affected.
Qatar (27-29 November) and Abu Dhabi (4-6 December) - anyone's guess!

I hope today sees you and your little one start to feel better.

With that art-work in mind, you should sleep very peacefully!

That is very clever!

It's an interesting juggle for me between pushing myself to do various things that I know I'll enjoy and listening to my body. At 72, I reckon there's still lots of times when I can keep pushing myself.
That said, I also like my rest days!

Take care on the slalom!

Oh, I'm jealous of anyone who gets to do a four day road trip.
I once did Cairns to Canberra in a bit over 2½ days, I usually take a day to do Canberra to Brisbane, and Canberra to Melbourne is a simple non-stop run. Great fun to be on the road!

What can I say? Correct on both counts.

I'm about to settle down to watch the Melbourne to Warrnambool cycling race. I may do some knitting while it's on.

I did sabre a bottle of bubbles to celebrate. That seemed appropriate.

Yup!

Thank you!

Oh, how very clever! I wonder what it says about me that I didn't even think of that.

You're welcome, though I have no idea what LSdC stands for. Google offered the London Sustainable Development Commission or the Launceston Square Dance Club!
I scored a Highly Commended for my jumper at the Canberra Show. You may have missed my post about it, so here are the photos again.

Yes, there is so much that goes on in places that others cannot see.
Sending strength!

Absolutely.
I cycled into town, saw the first thing, stopped, guessed it was just some eccentric local, then saw the next and the next, stopped to take photos then found this sign.
A local even pointed me to their local picnic spot near the river, where I stopped for lunch.

And the host delivered it verbally with absolute gusto!

On the way there I went through Saint-Pierre-sur-Erve, where they had an open air art exhibition. These pieces caught my eye there.

That's not the whole password, just to be clear. I don't remember the whole thing, and even if I did I wouldn't betray that trust, but that bit did stay in my memory.
It was a very pleasant place to stay.

I stayed at a Le Ranch Hotel in Brulon in France last year, and a significant portion of the wifi password was yeehaw.
The host was actually a lovely Frenchman who made me very welcome.
Thank you for bringing back those memories.
A few shots of the place to capture the vibe.
