Morning = diassembling newly acquired Peugot (Reynolds 531,
58cm) in preparation for fixing (it's a lovely brown colour
so I might have to paint it) - I will be seeking advice in
the near future.

Afternoon = draining of keg in front of large screen TV with,
hopefully, Eagles in full glory.

Sunday morning = still no riding (recovery session)

Sunday arvo = another keg while the Cowboys smoke some Eels

(So I'm attempting to model traffic now instead of the
weekend)

Cheers

Nah, helping to 'remove' a fellow a.ber's kitchen. Then might watch the footy, drink more beer or grumble loudly about the fecking AFL murdering my old team '96. And I have never ceased to be bitter and [censored] about it.

I know one guy who'll be putting the hours in on the trainer while
watching the footy: Jason Akermanis.

Studio audience for Before the Game was great fun, loved it :-D Aker
was there and said that as he wasn't involved this year he'd be
sufferring through the footy and have a sore [censored] at the end.

On 2005-09-23, Marty (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

I wacky parsed that as "win the grand prix". Which makes about as
much sense. Who are the eagles? Some soccer team? Is it a final
this weekend? What countries are playing?

On call until Monday morning so if I am lucky I might get a few laps of the Terrara road circuit in today but otherwise it's all work. I will have to wait until Tuesday before I can do some serious riding, maybe down to Portsea and back.

What a fantastic day it would have been for riding in Perth!!
It was so quiet, the streets were deserted with so many people staying in to
watch the footy.
I am not a footy fan, so was out and about on Saturday taking advantage of
the deserted shops (Bunnings and other home renovation shops). Go in, get
what I want, no end of shop assistants to help me, then out again.
Riding would have been great, but home duties call!

It's sort of eerie isn't it. I noticed the same thing during a solar
eclipse, everything goes quiet for a while and the world seems
"different", and then after a while the world goes back to being "normal
" again.

Spooky

Yep, prior to that he said he'd be getting home about 13:00 and getting on the wind trainer.
