A fine weekend

Fay and I have just had a very fine weekend.

Today is a public holiday in Queensland, so I didn't have to head to Brisbane, Yay! The contract is going well and I've signed up for another 6 months. The is not that great, but the money is coming in handy. I've had to postpone any adventures for another 6 months, but after that I will definitely get out and do something I haven't done before.

So instead of working I took a ride down the freeway toward Byron Bay. It's a noisy ride, but it's an easy way to cover 75 km's easily. I did get a flat, but that's to be expected.

Yesterday Fay and I did the Byron Bay Ocean Classic. Talk about a beautiful day, sun was shining, wind was slight and the swell was about half a meter. The course was 2.2 km and Fay and I covered it pretty easily, in 47 and 40 minutes respectively.

Saturday was when we celebrated Fay's 0033x birthday. That's based on a computer numbering system called hexadecimal. She got lot's of pressies, although they were a little late due to my training in Brisbane.

Apologies about the long delay in posting; however I find it hard to look at a screen after a week at work.
