    MACHKA....Belated Happy Birthday! :) ...You live in Australia. May I ask what part? Husband and I took a tour there years ago. We started in Sidney then took the train too perth. Also several other areas by bus tour. I loved Ayers Rock...I LOVE Australia out bush and all better than the major cities. Some would probably not want Kangaroo's eating from their hand BUT that was one of the highlights of MY trip.....lol

    Thank you both. :)

    I live in Tasmania now, but was living in a somewhat rural area of Victoria just north of Melbourne for my first 4 years in Australia.

    And yeah, a city is a city just about anywhere ... I prefer the country. The wildlife, the plantlife, etc.

    On Sunday, for example, my husband and I were riding our tandem in a beautiful part of northern Tasmania, and saw quite a large echidna by the side of the road. That's the sort of thing I like. :)

    How adorable is that!! Although, I imagine that little dude can hold his own...

    Welcome Rab1993, and just check you all out! I mean, I am so inspired. Seriously, we are totally getting this done! Jeannie, you are proud Group Mom, aren't you?

    It is wet, soggy, humid, all those squishy words down here in bayou country. Hard to get that garden planted in the mud...

    Cheers guys, the ride home was great and managed a decent speed even if its in yesterdays kit :). Washed and changed went to pick up my new bike and hit the jumps for an hour on the way home, few bits to alter but its a nice ride. Going for my third shower of the day before i head to the pool.

    Have to agree with jesi your the group mom.

    EACH OF YOU DESERVE (*) (*) (*) (*) (*) for all your work and upbeat personalities! <3

    Early morning I tried too do an exercise bike session but the Electricity went off. I was at 3 miles...grrrrrrrrrrrr! Later day I walked 1.25 miles with the 10 pound weights on. Just returned from 2.75 miles with husband and my girls... Dont know WHY but I am so tired today. IF the rain had not stopped and the sun come out I guess I would not have got too do outside walks.... I AM HAPPY THE RAIN GAVE ME A BREAK~!

    IF I get a second wind I may do another EX bike session but for now these are my totals.... :)

    TOTAL thus far March 11th.................35.25 Walking miles...

    Yep, that's it.

    If you stop next to one to get a photo, they'll roll themselves into a ball. But if you're really quiet and patient, after a little while, they'll unroll. :)
