Home Made Meatpie

Geez, not much to report blog fans. The big excitement here is that our bedroom suite finally arrived so we can at last pack away our clothes and finish the final few boxes. The garage is chockers with boxes after a house full of furniture has been bought. I will organise a trash man to come collect and take it away. 

My wind trainer for the bike arrived today so I am now going to be a Zwift'er and get riding online with all the other global riders. This is a pretty impressive 'game' or cycling training program. There is much to learn but so long as my legs are spinning, I can take as long as I want to learn how to 'play'. Thanks to some of my mates at home for their help in getting me started and telling me about this new virtual world of cycling. In the real world though, there are some nice long trails (not single track unfortunately) that go into the city area. It's about 20km I think. One is an old railway line that's been made suitable for hiking and riding. Anyway, I plan to jump onto that near home and ride into the city and back. This will be a good way to train outside on the mtb although I am missing the normal mtb trails of home. There is lots of history and things to look at along the way so we should have a great summer of exploring on our bikes.

I spent today cooking. I made another banana cake for the neighbour across the road - they were away on holidays last time so that cake went to work instead. So I've made another - I'm sure their home now but I don't want to have made a second one to no avail. Plus I made a weetbix slice for Deb's work. And I also had another crack at meat pies. Much better effort this time. Same recipe but tweaked a bit, and I had puff pastry on top.  Check out the photos. 

 

The forest near us is turning into a big green jungle. I try walk the dogs everyday and they get such a good run in there. With the warmer weather, we tend to stop at the creek crossings and the dogs like to splash in the water. Macey got a swim today in a small waterhole. Cricket's not a keen swimmer so he tends to grab to the stick off Macey as she leaves the water - a nice little tug of war follows.

 

You've not doubt heard that Trump smashed the New York primary. It's going to be a very ugly Republican convention in June as he just might get the required half of delegates to get the Rep nomination to run for Pres. The Rep Party is really not sure what to do. Clinton seems to be set to get the delegate numbers and therefore be the Democratic nomination. I'm quite enjoying the politics here although the election at home has also got us interested...and worried.
