    Learning how to roller skate. It’s not too hard, still need to work on stopping technique.

    Day 1, sunny weather - went crazy in the garden and now waiting to take trailer to the tip.

    Day 2, cold and wet - chucked out heaps of old stuff from store room under the house. Broke my shredder chewing its way though mortgage and bank documents from 1996.

    Day 3, cold and wet - searched online for a new gear for my shredder, cant locate any, will have to throw it out. I'll have a load of metal and aluminium stuff to take to the industrial recyclers next week (make some cash).

    Day 4, colder and wetter and two more kilos heavier than last month. Taking it easy today.

    You have zero to worry about Ms. @Angel. In fact, (hope you don’t mind me saying this), if you put on more kilos, it would look good on you :)

    Me: Last Saturday, rode around at/on the Fernleigh track Newcastle on my 29” unicycle. Was going to stay the night originally (and do Treetops adventure) but then Sydney lockdown happened. :(

    I have to say my Active 2 watch runs out of battery way too fast so usually I can’t even record a half day of doing stuff on it. Anyway, this is basically it but we rode approx 32km. Very easy ride for all.

    Today: Rode around Chipping Norton lake on same unicycle. 20 degrees on a sunny July day in Sydney… with the same group of riders (minus 2)…. can’t beat it. https://strava.app.link/ajfNL8NvAhb

    The week:
    Stupidly busy with work. :( But managed to get time and motivation to do some running up and down the hill next to my home. I must do some more.

    Made some adjustments to a secondhand outfit I bought. Ideally I’ll do a bit more adjusting to it. Ordered a clasp online from Etsy and it should be coming from Canada sometime.

    Working on some other Unicycling skills and I can now do seat in front riding, meaning riding with the seat in front, not between legs. I have to work on transitioning the seat in and out and vv. still though.
    My backwards riding is also improving.

    Aerial and pole - classes are on hold till gyms are allowed to open again.

    I will try to imagine my son racing tomorrow in an enduro event. My husband is the only one allowed to attend the race. I’ll try to stay busy cleaning and washing and hoping for the best outcome in the raining conditions.

    No not in the mood at all! Just catching up after having a virus that kept me in bed for a week. The down time reading was good though!

    I’d like to be able to do a manual on a bike but I don’t ride bikes very often.

    Very jealous of your fun lives.
    For our 4 days Lockdown, I end up helping a friend to clean-up his Accounts. Huge mess with duplicates sales and expenses, mis-match of Receipts as Invoices, and many other more... :(:mad:

    I didn't mean to like the fact that you have been unwell, but double likes for spending time reading.

    Lockdown lifted today, fine and sunny. I was thinking that the world is all good again, but I haven't watched Anastacia's press conference yet today.
