Day 27 Rest day in Carbondale

And how we have looked forward to this one. We are in a motel in some dodvy part of town and apart from the hookers marching up and down, pimps lurking in the shadows and drug dealers driving by doing deals it's awesome - the showers are hot and the cockroaches keep to their side of the bathroom. So tasks for today include: LAUNDRY, VISIT TO BIKE SHOP, TOILETRIES, PURCHASE OF NO SLEEVE FULL ZIP TRI POCKET TECHNICAL FABRIC HI VIZ QUICK DRYING EASY WASH PERFORMANCE CYCLING BASE WICKING LAYER, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST TOPPI.NG UP THE DORKULATOR FOR ANOTHER MONTHS BLOGGING.
Also we have been having problems with Ellen who is having difficulty adapting to the drinking of tea or indeed any other beverage out of  her new cup rather than the cereal bowl that she is more accustomed to. In fact so strong are Ellen's feelings on this clearly 'to be discouraged' method of drinking that she felt the need to defend her subversive behavior by bringing  the Queen into the argument suggesting that our monarch was also partial to slurping tea out of the saucer. Or so her Mum says. The poor child must have been brought up in a family where they put the milk in last! What are we to do with these Colonial people?

  2. We colonials are a resourceful lot. If all we have is a creal bowl, we make due. It all tastes just as good good, as long as we keep our pinky up.

  3. Robert,
    You actually were predertermined to PURCHASE OF NO SLEEVE FULL ZIP TRI POCKET TECHNICAL FABRIC HI VIZ QUICK DRYING EASY WASH PERFORMANCE CYCLING BASE WICKING LAYER? I assumed you simply found it marked at 70% off in the ladies section and couldn't pass it up? The good News is that the severe sunburn it caused on your shoulders the first day you wore it means you will have to wait three weeks or so to wear it again!
