Advance to Australia Fair...

Hello Everyone
I went for  a swim in the lake yesterday.  It   was pure madness.  Cold.  Rough. Stirred up.  I crashed and bashed around for 18 minutes.  And then I got out.

Today I packed my bike.  No.  I watched while it was packed for me.  My spatial perception couldn't have managed that feat without prior education.  I just hope I am going to be able to unpack it and put it all back together. In an appropriate arrangement, not just my usual "anything goes" type of approach.

I am starting to get everything washed and dried and ready to go.  I have washed and scrubbed the soles of my running shoes and my cycling shoes.  I  also washed and scrubbed my beautiful bike before it went all Transformer and tucked itself into a tardis disguised as a cardboard box.  I hope the Aussies are nice to me and don't demand too much unpacking in Customs.

I don't feel fit.  I feel sleepy and low.  But I think I don't have any benchmarks - prior to March 3rd I had been doing lots of events, but I haven't done any since, so I really feel like I am taking a leap into the unknown.  And by unknown I don't just mean New South Wales (can you get Marmite there?).

OK, well, this will be my last post from Aotearoa.  Next stop West Island via Vegas (that's RotoVegas obviously).

Until next time, remain open minded about going commando.
love
