autumn in ballarat: Up hill and down dale
http://autumninballarat.blogspot.com/2010/04/up-hill-and-down-dale.html
Monday, April 19, 2010. Up hill and down dale. The weekend just past I think I found the local running equivalent to the final pitch on Baw Baw. The club had its round four race in Buninyong, a hilly township south of Ballarat. I chose the 3 km race rather than the 5 km - still getting my race fitness and legs, so to speak. I was warned it was steep so went the conservative option. I'm glad I did. Man in the background. Monday, April 19, 2010. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Man in the background.

Saturday, April 3, 2010. No, not Formula 1 or even AFL. I visited a friend yesterday at his home. He is quite a handyman, and it appears a craftsman also. He is making his own guitar and it's amazing - a 3/4 size Rickenbacker, if I have the name right, as used by Lennon. I thought he meant Lenin. I'm not a Beatles fan and didn't think he was a communist. There you go. I know all of this because I stood looking at it for nearly 20 minutes. Dear god, lock the door.". Man in the background. Mini blog: I've ...

Thursday, April 29, 2010. I took part in the famous Lake Relay last week - raced for my club, Ballarat Harriers, in Division 2. This is an annual event at Lake Wendouree (Wendouree Paddock at the moment, though some ponds appearing) , where individuals run 3 km legs each. It's a race where the four local clubs compete against each other, and we got second in Div 2. Man in the background. Thursday, April 29, 2010. May 16, 2010 at 8:33 PM.

Thursday, March 11, 2010. Yesterday I fulfilled my long held dream of rock climbing in Thailand. I booked my full day outing with the highly regarded Kings Climbing, which is in Railey Beach West. Pick up time was 830 from my hotel - we drove in a truck to a pier near Ao Nang, then boarded a longtail boat to Railey. There were people from Sweden, UK and other european countries aboard. We did two more climbs, one of 30 metres which I couldn't finish, and a shorter more technical climb to end that I did s...

Friday, February 26, 2010. I’m taking a holiday. It’s impulsive, which is a good thing for me. I’m flying to Phuket on Wednesday 3 March for 11 nights. So two pairs of brothers are off on a tropical holiday in Thailand! I haven’t been away with my brother for years, and have never been away without my wife and daughter. It will be hard…. But it didn’t happen – soon after booking this trip, I decided to spend my savings on renting an apartment in Hawthorn. So it goes. Man in the background. Before our Lit...

Thursday, February 11, 2010. A childhood rooted in sport. Inspired by a fellow blogger that I follow (that’s a mouthful), I’ve decided to write about sport. And sports teams. I have never played that. I barrack for my team because my Mum does. Half the family followed mum, half followed Dad. Dad’s team is pretty good and successful; my team is pretty average and not successful. But each year I tune in again, full of hope. Why? What keeps us loyal and interested in our teams for so long? Thursday, Februar...

Thursday, February 18, 2010. A penny for your thoughts. Today I want to share an idea. Ballarat is full of heritage buildings – private homes and grand public spaces, laneways, crypts and chambers. These places serve as a critical cultural reference – a pointer to our past as we move to a vastly different future. We revere these places, as we should. But do we use these places? I want these places to come alive. Next month we move to a new film in a new location and we explore new friendships and new spa...

Thursday, April 8, 2010. NEWSFLASH Man waits for bike as world turns. I'm getting my motorbike some time between tomorrow and next Thursday. The wait is a long one. Luckily I am not sitting watching the driveway or counting and recounting my money before it all goes. Yeah, um, nothing like that, pffft, no way. Man in the background. Thursday, April 08, 2010.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010. Burgers, P7's and spin. My boss was kind enough to grant me the day off work today - heck, he is away himself, but said I could take a day off to visit my wife and daughter who are holidaying with most everyone from Ballarat down by the beach - the Great Ocean Road, no less. And where did I drive it today, 5 days after I got it? I recommend this place highly. I also recommend the coffee at Kaos Cafe. Allpress beans, creamy lattes, fair price given the location. I think its th...
