"that girl" on the 400: March 2010

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

That girl" on the 400. Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Busy, but Quiet. I've been a very busy bee over the last few weeks, but it has been pretty quiet. Robin has been away for almost 8 weeks straight (with a short stint at home; 3 days). Lucky for me, he returns on Thursday. I've also been cooking for myself again, meaning that I'm not eating everything out of the freezer. I've made the effort to go to Woolies and buy beautiful fresh food as often as I can, with focus on fruits and veges. At least the sunset w...

"that girl" on the 400: February 2010

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

That girl" on the 400. Sunday, February 28, 2010. After almost two months of unemployment over summer, relaxing, watching cricket and drinking cider, it was back to the real world and back into work. I'm now an Area Manager for an OEM looking after pumping and process equipment for mining. I will be looking after the Murchison and Kimberley regions which means lots of travel and lots of driving. I'll be seeing a lot more of this. In the coming months. I even did two nights in Meekatharra! The Making A Di...

"that girl" on the 400: Terrible... or is it?

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2011/09/terrible-or-is-it.html

That girl" on the 400. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Terrible. or is it? Aw, you don't update your blog anymore. Not even for your long-time readers". And there goes another year. I suppose it would be sensible to at least provide an update on the last blog entry. The sun is out today and the breeze is warm. It's cold, rainy and miserable in Perth this week and I'm here in the middle of summer. Beautiful! In 2008 I went to Sweden, which I managed to take an extra nine days off over Easter and make a bit...

"that girl" on the 400: May 2010

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

That girl" on the 400. Saturday, May 01, 2010. It's only been a week since I spent three magic days in Singapore and I miss the place completely already. How can one complain with a view like this? This is the fifteenth floor of the Grand Mercure Roxy on East Coast Road, not too far from the beach. It was even sunny for most of the time I was there. At least the next three days made up for it. Seriously) and a Coke. It was off to bed to dream of all the awesome shopping I would do the next day. Robin met...

"that girl" on the 400: January 2010

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

That girl" on the 400. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Finally, the 400 got to see some daylight. The first photos of the bike were in the yard about a week ago, however Robin and I headed out on the bikes for a run-in and to take some snaps on the Perth foreshore on the weekend. I'm looking forward to many more lovely kilometres on "Paris". Here's to warm sunny days and windy roads. I love you sweetie, and your work. You're a star. 5 to the person that can guess what is wrong with this picture! Looking forw...

"that girl" on the 400: A good news week

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2012/01/good-news-week.html

That girl" on the 400. Friday, January 06, 2012. A good news week. Well, the good news is that I've stuck to my goals thus far. It is only one week into the New Year, but I've held true to my targets. In other news, I'm heading out of the office for five weeks. Three weeks in the Netherlands, and then two weeks at university finishing off my capstone unit for the Master of Business Administration. When I get back I'll be changing office spots so I've spent the last two days packing a few boxes.

"that girl" on the 400: October 2009

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

That girl" on the 400. Friday, October 30, 2009. I was looking around at getting an Akropovic, or maybe even going back to Roo Racing, but I wasn't in the market to drop another $700 on a pipe for the bike. It was on eBay where I stumbled upon an English company called Fuel Exhausts. They do a bolt-on pipe for the CBR400 with all the hardware and clamps, for about $500 delivered. I ordered online that very day. Thursday, October 29, 2009. Once the tank is painted, the Dremel will need to come out and the...

"that girl" on the 400: December 2011

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

That girl" on the 400. Thursday, December 29, 2011. I can, I will. Well, 2012 is near and it's time to think about where I'm heading. It's been an interesting year, with a career change, lots of travel and moving into our own house. My blog has yet another new design. A change is as good as a holiday. 2012 is my year of "I can, I will". There will be no more slacking off. There will be no more excuses. Here they are in no particular order:. Drink more water. Every. Single. Day. Two blog posts in 2011.

"that girl" on the 400: Cool Öre bro!

http://myvolvowillkillyou.blogspot.com/2011/10/cool-ore-bro.html

That girl" on the 400. Sunday, October 09, 2011. In the midst of cool weather, strange currency, pear ciders and five connecting flights I find myself up early on a Sunday morning in Örebro. I flew into Örebro on Friday afternoon with around 30 hours of flying time under my belt. I did surprisingly well on the long-haul flights, clocking up around 6.5 hours of sleep. And I got to try out my Polish passport too. It works! I probably don't need any more of that sweet, sweet, white death anyway. One of the ...
