15 Apr

Today was a warmish day with temps of about 20 degrees but overcast

I woke at about 7.00am with the idea of going on a longer ride to Arthur’s Seat and Red Hill with a few climbs...

The ride was quite satisfying with a great feeling having reached the summit of Arthur’s Seat it was erie to see the chairlift not operating and no tourists... a vast difference from my visits here over Christmas with the grandchildren!!!

The ride down through Red Hill to Dromana was ver exhilarating with speeds over over 40 kph being achieved on many occasions

The ride from Dromana to Blairgowrie was equally as good with a nice tail wind!!!

After reaching Blairgowrie it was good to get a coffee and head home for lunch

After lunch I sorted out the skip to make sure that I would not be charged extra for overloading ...

All done I decided to try to fix up the bike for Nick ahead of taking it to him tomorrow.... the chain needed a good clean and oil.... all good after about an hour

After completing the task I took a rest and met the guys over the road who arrived earlier for a few days

Today was a good day

I made a call to my daughter early in the afternoon to see how home schooling went... be fair to say the private school on line education worked well whilst the public education system was badly organised... seems the problem is that the schools are disorganised as to the method of delivering on line learning and the expectation of the parents in supporting home learning is not clear... I hope this gets sorted out soon otherwise students will suffer from being disadvantaged in critical learning in the important years of their life.

Now for the photos
