Helmet Head

Today we all ventured into the city to, among other things, go to rebel sport to buy Mel some workout gear (I finally got sick of her whinging and bought her a personal trainer for mother's day!). While the mother unit was trying on various trackies etc, G man and myself decided to check out the cycling section. They tell me that you are not supposed to put the kiddies in the bike trailers or seats until at least 12 months old but I reckon he could handle it now....the helmet almost fits him!! I don't quite get the relevance of trains on a bike helmut but the only other one they had was pink. I decided not the get this one but will keep an eye out for a cooler version.

Tomorrow Seb is coming over and we are going to play the "game of the summer" (or should that be Autumn?) .....Kubb! Never heard of it? Well where have you been. Apparently it is the fastest growing game in Europe and the USA and has been described as a cross between bowling, horseshoes and chess. It is a very old Swedish game and now they even have the World Championships held annually. It basically involves throwing bits of wood at other bits of wood to try and knock them over. Despite my rather basic description it actually is quite strategic. After all the Kubb fun we will probably trow down a few tallies (we bought a case of the beer voted the world's best at the recent Sydney international beer competition....Weihenstephan Krystal...also reportedly made in the world's oldest brewery). Those German's can sure make a good beer!

Cheers!!!

Those Germans don't just make "good Bier" they make the "best Bier". And don't start telling me that Belgium is better, or some other crap. Just for that I think I'll have a bier.
