Cycling paradise: November 2012
http://troppocycle.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
No snow, ever. and bikeways. and no hills. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Today I forgot to take all my raffle tickets for the Townsville BUG 'win a commuter bike' raffle to work. Doh. So instead of delivering them a single km at lunch time I had to ride home at the end of the day, get the tickets and deliver them west to Kirwan, a suburb about 6 kms away. Well I want you to know. Links to this post. Tuesday, November 27, 2012. There have been dogs. And turkeys were born. there is a wee blob above the...

Cycling paradise: December 2013
http://troppocycle.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
No snow, ever. and bikeways. and no hills. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Some people wonder if it is possible to have a 'normal' Christmas season in the tropics. Well it is once you accept that this is the new normal. Have a seat under this palm tree. And look for activity in the Bay while you have a coffee. We find it amusing to dress up the dogs for photos, but then the costumes have to be hidden away before they get destroyed! Just you wait. Sheila. That's me in the green lights. It has gotten really ho...

Cycling paradise: April 2013

No snow, ever. and bikeways. and no hills. Friday, April 26, 2013. You tube flip book creation. Links to this post. Friday, April 19, 2013. Another update on Sheila. We finally have all the paperwork done for owning a dog and transferring a chip and verifying immunization. having a baby is way easier than having a dog, I swear. Action shot, dog attacks octopus. Just doin' what comes naturally. Links to this post. Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Settling in with a big dog. I have a dog tag now and everything!

Cycling paradise: suddenly summer
http://troppocycle.blogspot.com/2013/09/suddenly-summer.html
No snow, ever. and bikeways. and no hills. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Suddenly it is hot. Spring is never much here, someone just trows a switch somewhere and the heat comes on. It is tinder dry and that special smell of 'autumn leaves' confuses my seasons. Lizards and snakes are on the move. This was a big guy, a good metre long. Kapok are spring. They are everywhere on the hills. New spring outfits for my girls. I told you it was hot! Izzy surprised me when she plunged into the river and had a lie down.

Cycling paradise: save my soul
http://troppocycle.blogspot.com/2013/09/save-my-soul.html
No snow, ever. and bikeways. and no hills. Friday, September 20, 2013. Why are we here. What does it matter if there is an election, and you vote (after DAYS of research) to find that you are not normal. Some weird ass, fringe dwelling, tree hugging, greyhound obsessed cycling weirdo. Get off my road! Australia is now spun back to the 50s, and I can't even remember the 50s. So where do I live now? At a University that is struggling for relevance in a new paradigm? To have us all drive a car? The challeng...

Cycling paradise: Spring has arrived
http://troppocycle.blogspot.com/2013/09/spring-has-arrived.html
No snow, ever. and bikeways. and no hills. Saturday, September 14, 2013. Now that Izzy is ours we can spend up big at the Vets to try and clear up the canine lupis on her nose. So far I think she is looking a bit better. I don't like the cortisone treatment though, and will be glad to see the end of that. It has knocked her around and she isn't her usual bright self at all. And so it begins. A happy customer. He is newly arrived from Europe and takes this kind of thing for granted. Super Tuesday pretty m...

Cycling paradise: June 2013
http://troppocycle.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
No snow, ever. and bikeways. and no hills. Saturday, June 29, 2013. Check in from hound hall. I am trying to contain the crazy greyhound lady within. Really. This weekend is the Townsville show and my poor hounds have had to work like dogs. First to declare mutiny and have a nap. I'm adopted already. meh. Izzy getting into the sprit. She started off a bit nervous of all the noise and weird rides moving around, but came good. brave girl! Finally, I leave you with a video. Links to this post. Sure, but fir...

No snow, ever. and bikeways. and no hills. Sunday, December 22, 2013. I have been getting reminded that I really should blog, and I say I will but I never seem to get aroundtoit. Sorry Mom and Dad! I'll get lots of photos and stuff up over the hols. Everything is very good here, the summer is really lovely so far (Carol, this would have been a good year to come over :p). A perfect Christmas tree worth stepping onto hazardous ground to photograph. Best Christmas decoration on the street! So it has been a ...
