I find myself back in Canberra. I had to return to Sydney last weekend to attend a hearing in the Family Court on Monday One day I may post about that.
Anyway, I am now in position to make some decisions. The first of these is whether to continue on my ride down the Murray River. Another is when, and by which route, I will return to London.
In the meantime, I will be in Canberra for a few more days. This is notwithstanding my host in Balmain is providing advice to my host in Canberra as to best method of getting rid of me. He seems to think one of his part-time retirement jobs includes being a pest eradication consultant.
On a more serious and sad note, a friend from Melbourne, I saw here a couple of weeks ago is not happy. He competed in the Capital Punishment Mountain Bike race. After going really well for over 80 klms he fell badly on a difficult part of the course. He broke his hip and had to undergo surgery to have pins inserted. There have been further complications following the surgery. Not good, but it appears he will be better soon.
