When I microwaved my porage this morning, the handle of the jug was facing exactly where it needed to be for picking it up when the timer reached zero & went ping...
What are the chances of that!

I'm glad someone is posting positive messages.

It will positively rain.

Summer bike has been brought out of storage, it hasn't seen the outside world since Last July.

Tyres pumped up, and is hopefully good to go, a short test ride coming up to confirm it is up for a few commutes

It has lost some of it's speed

@SatNavSaysStraightOn rides a trike.

I can now balance on a bicycle as well. I just can't get on and off it without assistance yet!

I think you have to wear a helmet in Australia

I think the bigger question is what do I have to wear on a tricycle. The law states this...

"the rider of a bicycle must wear an approved bicycle helmet securely fitted and fastened on the rider’s head, unless the rider is exempt from wearing a bicycle helmet under another law of this jurisdiction."

Also all of our bikes are going to have to have a bell (or horn fitted) and a rear reflector in addition to front and rear lights.

Lights and reflectors
If you ride at night or in hazardous weather conditions, you must display all of the following:

• A steady or flashing white light on the front of the bike that is visible for at least 200 metres
• A steady or flashing red light on the rear of the bike that is visible for at least 200 metres
• A red reflector on the rear of the bike that is visible for at least 50 metres when illuminated by a vehicle’s headlight on low beam

Horns and bells
Your bike must be fitted with a working horn or bell to help sound a warning to other cyclists or pedestrians.

Plus helmets seems to have to have the AUS/NZ standards not the USA one mine has and the UK one my OH's have, so we may end up having to replace our helmets as well if I can't find ours sold there! all to stay fit and legal. Plus I need to know at least 2 different territories regulations because we will be living in ACT (though we could actually be in New South Wales and commuting into ACT (Australian Capital Territory)) because ACT is so very small and city centre to ACT/NSW can be less than a couple of km's , plus the Victoria territory is only 250km away so a weekend away could easily see us cycling there as well... ahhhhh

You need special stabilisers that can be deployed when you want to get off

Me and Wimps have blitzed the local shops, I'm now skint, and in the pub recovering.
(I may have bought some .. cough... quite a lot... of yarn)

 

[Puddles]

I have new jeans that do not fall down and new upholstery that is fit for having an accident in or flashing to the world whilst riding my bike in a summer dress.

It took the fitting lady 3 hours to achieve that. She deserves vodka & valium. After 2 hours I may have become very akin to a petulant toddler.

Oooh yarn is always good, what are you making? I love making socks, especially if I sit at work using 5 dpns, people look at me slack jawed.

Is it possible to have jeans that don't fall down without taking prudent precautions?
