Bike Is Going Rusty!

My bike will begin to go rusty if I can't get on it for a ride soon! It must be the best part of a week since I last had a full ride. Consistent showers, especially around dawn, means the roads are always wet when I usually ride. Another 5 mls from the gauge this morning and most of that fell around 5 am this morning. It is so wet there would still be seepage across paths anyway making the bike experience less than enjoyable.

Another brew went on this morning just to keep supplies going. As usual a washing and bottling will follow. The photo shows 400gms of sugar which goes into the brew.

The amount of sugar determines the alcohol content. 1kg of sugar means the beer will be around 5% when finished. 400gms equates to around 3.5% (or mid strength) which is what I usually make my brews at.

Not a lot else is happening. I was around at a friend's yesterday to do some computer stuff and then spent much of the day enthralled in the Sheffield Shield Cricket Final. It was great to and fro cricket with first one side on top and then the other.

We are expecting a visit this afternoon from Carol and David, friends from down in Melbourne who are currently holidaying on the Gold Coast in a time share unit Carol has. They have a lady friend with them who has a relative at Moffat Beach so this gives them the chance to do a couple of flying visits before heading back to the Gold Coast tonight.

We watched the mini-series Mildred Pierce on Sunday. It was 5 full episodes. We began at 6:30 and finished at 12:15 am. We both thought it was OK. Kate Winslet won a TV Show award for her role in the mini-series. Last night we watched another 3 part series called Silent Scream. The script was adapted from a Lynda La Plante novel.
