of bikes and shops....

well not really but i do have to respond to muttly's comment about the pic of the pocket bike:

at least now i know what a pocket bike is hehehehehe. i would have loved to have brought it home, but i don't know that it would have survived the kyogle run any better than the virago would have - i think it would have been more about the skills of the rider mutts.....!

i have managed to do the souvenir shopping that i planned. with the rain that we had here (apart from being a bit like melbourne...) we had to find something to replace the ski plans with so ray and i went shopping. i had never realised before that shopping for a shirt to go with a suit was quite such a big deal! there is more involved with that than buying the right dress for a formal! and this from a fellow who has some serious weaponry hanging around his house!

  • first there was the decision about which particular stripe in the suit should be matched.
  • then solid colour or stripes?
  • then which tie?
  • and not to mention the shoes!

whew, thank goodness i'd had that practice with tegan shopping. those who know me well know that clothes shopping is a quick 'in, glance, see what i want/don't want, out again as quick as possible' foray........but good on ray - it's great to know that there are guys out there who care as much as the girls do.

and i hope people back home like maple syrup. there's plenty coming home with me. provided it doesn't leak all over the bag on the way home.......

all for now. getting ready to go visit museums (maybe there will be a mountie there!)

bye.
