  1. @izogi Apparently Australasia is getting another 60 dishes- we already have 35 as part of the "Pathfinder" project. 100 was a good guess.
  2. @Maarten5150 Going Groningen-Lemmer-Amsterdam but not right to the coast. Meeting a friend tomorrow so we'll just stay in campgrounds..
  3. @Maarten5150 Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm taking a different route from here to Amsterdam. Hopefully the weather improves...
  4. Rah, didn't find time to write my Summary post for northern Germany- will try and do it tomorrow morning..
  5. Hmm, John Edwards trial/verdict sounds messy!
  6. Oh boy, very exciting- just found out about a new ferry from Nagasaki to Shanghai (Instead of Kobe/Osaka)- means... fb.me/1G0ASPPsE
  7. Pouring rain outside- was so lucky with the weather last week! Great weather to catch up on some work and eat some food! :-D
  8. @izogi Africa gets the vast majority of the dishes- something like 3000:100.. So NZ gets maybe one more dish instead of a cluster of 10-20..
  9. @izogi Pfft, we get a tiny part- like a couple of dishes.. Nothing like what it would've been if it'd all gone to Aussie/NZ..
  10. Yay, a blog post to get you through your Thursday at work! Hope you like it!... fb.me/1VtG4cucV
  11. Anyone want to pay me to write blog posts? That'd be good...
  12. I did a post about trimming the beard.. dc-onabike.com/2012/05/first-… fb.me/1LD5azgvs
  13. @Laidbackcyclist Haha, maybe i shouldn't have bought the disposable safety razor type then!
  14. Beard: trimmed. It's an early birthday present for my Mum! :-D
  15. Oh, and I bought a razor to at least tidy up the beard (and stop the dogs barking at me!)...
  16. Damnit, I forgot to find a sign for the town Weener to take a photo of! Tehehe, I saw Germany's Weener!
  17. Going to splash out today and go and see The Avengers movie..
  18. @icebreakernz Oh, awesome, thanks, I'll see how I get on- currently still riding through Europe so no fixed abode..
  19. @mjindustries21 Ha, I thought the whole point of merino was that it wasn't supposed to smell, therefore didn't need washing?
