Definitely! Too bad it was closed.
5 years agoI was glad Rachael caught that. It’s nice to look like I know what I’m doing for a change. It’s taken some practice and observation, but this is the standard method for a left turn on a busy street. Just follow the scooters.
5 years agoWell, it’s not like we’re quitting immediately, Steve. We’ve still got two weeks, so that should see her nicely through the worst of the post-op period.
5 years agoYou too? That’s so funny. While I was taking this photo I was telling Rachael how rare it was. I can never get a shot of magpies either - they really know their distance. My theory is that the rice fermented and the bird is drunk in sake.
5 years agoSuch a momentous entry deserves some comment. It has been a great and entertaining run. Dodie is philosophical about recovery without your blog to read. By the time you head out again, we hope to be taking to the road too! This is all so much fun!
5 years agoIn Video 1, how did you know you had to make a left turn - preparing for it fluidly under pressure?

Good shooting. I have found that the maximum time a Magpie stays in one place is one second shorter than my time to get out and focus the camera. Consequently I have never achieved a photo like this.

Any room that has a blogging desk (especially if it does not face a distracting mirror) is great!
5 years agoA greenshank though! Seems more likely to to be a common one, but still. I don’t think I’ve heard of greenshank before. Thanks!
5 years agoInteresting in thought. I wondered about it too - I’ve never seen one like it.
5 years agoWell, even I knew it’s a wading bird Bill. It’s wading!
5 years agoIt is a wading bird of some species. Many look so much alike! Possibly a Nordmann's greenshank. Not positive though.

I thought this bridge might be in commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of something... but the other side would read "001". Still interesting, but someone needs to finish the repainting job.
5 years agoOkay, that is super cool.

Does this inspire you to find a way to dry out hip waders on the Bike Friday?
