Dr Dopey: Footy
http://dr-dopey.blogspot.com/2011/07/footy.html
Monday, July 4, 2011. First time to the football this year and we were out in the stands with the plebs. The last few times I've been was for work and we had box seats but those good old corporate days are over. Poor Hawthorne supporters, Sam and Hamish and my fellow Collingwood fan, Janine, waiting for the big game to start. The banners go up, players run through and the 85,000 strong crowd cheers them on. Our seats aren't that bad Sam! Collingwood, of course! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dr Dopey: October 2010
http://dr-dopey.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. Around the Bay in a Day 2010. Bonnie and I on the 210 km Around the Bay in a Day bike ride. This photo must have been taken early on in the day as I managed to smile for the camera. It was a miserable day for it, cold, wet and windy but we made it. The steep climb up Oliver's Hill with the bay in the background. Just 50 km down and still so far to go. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Around the Bay in a Day 2010.

Saturday, August 6, 2011. 717 kms in 7 days. RAGBRAI - Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. Every year 10,000 people ride their bikes across the state of Iowa in RAGBRAI. Along the way passing through farmland and country towns, sampling the local sights, smells and tastes. It was a great experience, tough both physically and mentally but thoroughly worth the trip over. Day 1 - Lynda, Matt, Jill and I ready to get started at Glenwood. Day 4 - Randy, Jim, me, Andy, Jan, Jill, Karen, Lynda and Dee.

Dr Dopey: Winter camping with the boys
http://dr-dopey.blogspot.com/2012/06/winter-camping-with-boys.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. Winter camping with the boys. Is it getting foggy? Yep, um the "view" from Snowgum Lookout. And the next day, picture perfect! Beautiful views of the Western Plains with the Grampians in the background. Side trip to the Cave Hill cave, also known as Bukkertillible, which means cave in the local aboriginal dialect. The cave is a massive granite arch around 100 m wide and 15 m high. You can just see Paul in red at the bottom LH corner of the photo. Topped with melting Lindt choc, YUM!

Dr Dopey: December 2009
http://dr-dopey.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 27, 2009. This year Christmas was at our place and we decided to try a traditional lunch with ham, turkey and all the fixings. Warwick's not bad cooking up some bacon so he was confident a glazed ham was in him. Plus a few weeks before I successfully pulled off a roast chicken for the first time so I knew I was ready to handle the big bird. Warwick applying the balsamic-honey glaze to the ham and the final product below. A pre-Christmas taste test confirmed it was good enough to eat.

Dr Dopey: Images of RAGBRAI
http://dr-dopey.blogspot.com/2011/08/sights-of-ragbrai.html
Saturday, August 6, 2011. Typical Iowa countryside - fields of corn and soybean planted in long neat rows. Farmhouses dotted along the road selling water and Gatorade to tired and thirsty riders. Some had waterslides and kiddy pools allowing riders to strip down to their speedos and show off their bike tan (not a good look). Roadside vendors selling sweet corn (above) and pork chop's (below). Lunch stop - hungry riders as far as the eye can see. What's on offer? The End, finally. 717 kms in 7 days.

Saturday, January 16, 2010. New Year, New Beginnings. 2010: It was supposed to be a time of new beginnings, new year, new decade and new job to go to.
