Its not quite as intense as the leadup to the latest and greatest earth observation satellite launch.. I mean, we don’t have engineers over checking out our packing boxes for structural integrity – but woah – I always forget how much work packing up a life, well, three lives now, is.
We’re leaving Tasmania on Friday, [...]
Well, its just about two weeks till we up and shift back north across the moat – Bass Strait. It all seems a little nuts, given that we still don’t officially have a place to move to. Yet. However, Plan A is still on track, and Plans B through Z are pretty well formed.
In other [...]
I’m feeling like typing, obviously!
I rode a trail I have neglected for a long time the other day. In fact, I’ve ventured down it twice in the last week and a half. It has drawn me in, with a subtle mixture of technical intricacy and moments of unity with the trail, the bike, the [...]
Today, as well as having his photos put on the internet, Joe is four weeks old! I think thats quite the achievement – he’s handling the transition to breathing air and living in a seemingly-endless space quite well.
Bel and I are just amazed constantly by the little fella. Yes, he keeps us up at night, [...]
I’ve finally got some pictures of Joe together and loaded them to the interweb. I figure the little man deserved at least a few weeks before world-wide exposure and fame. Head to the gallery and see the beautiful man in all his constantly-changing glory..
Joe Leon Steer was born on 26 February 2009, at 10:37pm! What an amazing thing to behold – the fruition of Bel’s ever-expanding belly, and a turning point in both of our lives.
The past two weeks has been filled with many moments of sheer wonder, and some of sheer helplessness/frustration/terror! As any new parent knows, [...]
Coming back from 6 weeks away and seeing your partner suddenly 6 months pregnant is quite a thing to behold – all of a sudden its gone from a ‘bump’ to a full on ‘belly’. I’m constantly in awe of it, this basketball-size thing that Bel has sticking out front, that wriggles of its own [...]
Probably the least of all things, but exciting for me! The long running bike-replacement-project is done. Its together, its been out on the trails, and its fun! Another british steel hard-tail frame, an on-one inbred 456. Quite the unusual ride, but it is loads of fun so far, especially pointed downhill… pictures? hmm. maybe later.
…and no sooner were we married than we took off again! This time together, and a little less far away than Antarctica. We spent 4 days investigating the scene in Bright and Mount Beauty, little mountain towns in Victoria.
we found a nice little self contained unit to stay in at Mount Beauty, and spent most [...]
hello from Antarctica! I’m currently on board the Aurora Australis, which is acting as a giant chisel, chipping our way in to Davis station. It’s been an amazing trip – we’ve been all over the place trying to get different personnel retrieval jobs done. Thankfully everything is under control, and we’re now resuming the reason [...]
