Pony Pooh

Ponies are very curious, and they found a way to look at the house (they cant see over the wooden fence) through the little nookie in the back-yard.


Collecting some Pony Pooh to start off our new compost bin...

Lauren kick-starting the compost with secret formula and a bag of potting mix. Watch out garden, here we come.

Cycling in Devonport

 
This rider actually shows common sense. Riding on the road is OK with a light cycle helmet, but riding on the shared footpath is the dangerous bit. Today for instance I came across a crowd of teenagers from Don College. Shout as you may, a few will see you but look doughy eyed at you but not move out of the way nor make any attempt. I see some move a little out of the way for me and I take my chance. Today a stick carried by a student poked out into my way and I rode over it... On the way home I noticed pulled down ti-trees on the path. Aren't kids wonderful.

Environmentally Responsible?

Gosh, this is starting to resemble a train enthusiast's site!

I do wonder if these old diesel trains are still economical. This middle locomotive is a D class loco built in 1971. Apparently refitted with a new engine in 2001 and after many engine failures again in 2009 with second hand GM motors... Read al about it <here>.

OK, no more trains for a while.

Love those trains

Maybe I was meant to be a train driver, but I love those trains. This one showed up as I cycled across the rails on my way home from work today... I think it is one of the 'new' DQ class locomotives that were purchased in 1998 (click here for more info).

Bakers Beach

Oma Connie came to visit me in Tasmania again! I picked her up from Melbourne, from where we took the Spirit of Tasmania to Devonport.


We ran into a Dutch backpacker, Sofie. She ran into us the next day and joined us for the afternoon. These pictures are at Bakers Beach.
