cold down here

It went down to 8 degrees last night. Felt like Ontario, but with a plus rather than a minus temperature. It was actually quite nice for sleeping.

Yesterday I had gone for a 55 km bike ride out to the Adelaide Hills. See the picture, along the way.

When I got to the top (or at least as far as I was willing to go, I took this picture



Then home again, which was more downhill, so a bit easier. And then to the market, to buy food for the night. A quiet night, reading Naomi Klein, and fuming about capitalist society. But, as I said, I slept well.

This morning, went to the Rundle Mall again (the razor I bought needed repairs already), and to the native crafts gallery and store. Took the car back to Libby, and walked back home from there (about 2 miles=3 km). Of course, I then had to stop for lunch at the local pub which serves a "curry-of-the-day" (lamb today) with a pint.

It's a hard life, but I'm managing.
