I got me some wheels

It's Sunday and we spent the day at the beach. We've got a bit of a routine going now. Gus and Vic go in first and Vic helps Gus catch some waves on his body board. If you look closely at the picture below, you'll spot Vic in the red board shorts and Gus ahead of him zooming to shore on his board.


When Gus gets tired and cold, he'll come on shore and warm up on a towel beside me and we'll talk about the gnarly waves, while Vic goes back in with his own body board to catch some waves on his own (that's him below with the green board and red board shorts). After our usual routine, we caught up with some new friends and spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out and chatting. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that we get to spend the day at the ocean and we're not even on vacation... we LIVE here!!

This week I finally bought myself a bike. I had originally hoped to pick up a used bike, but there is not one used bike store in Sydney. So, it's taken me a while to come to grips with the fact that I'm going to have to lay down way more money than I had hoped for a bike. It was well worth it. I am in love with my bike. I may end up divorcing Vic and marrying my bike. It has a great big basket on the back for all the books and papers I drag back and forth and the best part is no more waiting around at a bus stop checking the time on my cell phone every minute because I'm worried the bus is going to be late, which will make me late to pick up Gus from school. Navigating roundabouts (of which there are exactly 3 on my way to school) are a little tricky on a bike, but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon. If there are any bike afficionados out there with some tips, send them to me!
