Casey Stoner does it again!!
Our little Aussie battler (well he is only 21) has done it again - won the GP at Brno in the Czek Republic today! Go, Casey!
That event topped up our Sunday very nicely. We woke up to a fine sunny Sunday, and as I hadn't been for a pillion ride on Ken's new bike yet, we decided to go for a short ride. "Short" because I wanted to see how far I could go before my lower back started to protest. Ken's previous bike was built for speed not for comfort, as the saying goes, especially for the pillion passenger. But the Suzuki has a reasonably comfortable pillion seat, so off we went. Our first stop was at one of Melbourne's water storage/treatment plants - Sugarloaf Reservoir, which is about 15 minutes ride from our place. We were pleased to see the water level was slightly higher than the last time we were there.
As my back was feeling okay, we decided to ride on to Yarra Glen and visit a friend of Ken's, who we knew would love to inspect the new bike. This pic is taken from the road into Yarra Glen, looking down on the town. It is hard to tell among the trees, but it is a lovely setting.

...which is for sale, and is just the kind of place that Ken and I would love to retire to if we had $690,000!!!
When we got home, some friends were waiting for us. "Where have you been? We want something to eat!" (I put some apple out IMMEDIATELY)

You've reminded me of yet another wonderful place I haven't been to in years (Sugarloaf Reservoir) and somewhere we could go to have a picnic lunch. That ride over the Christmas Hills must be wonderful, I always enjoyed that. Glad you had such a nice day.
heheheheh! Gina you almost had four visitors on your doorstep but We would have bought our own apple lol lol (smiles) Then we decided it was getting cold and the afternoon was racing past so fast we decided to stay home but soon.......
I am so pleased you enjoyed your ride it looks so nice up there and the water does look higher which is a good thing isn't it.
