Don Furner, lying in his Queanbeyan size bed eyes drooping, about to doze into green dream land when this pops into his head.

Doozy of a thunderstorm last night. Result is the kids school is closed because of extensive damage and no power. Reckon in analysis they'll find a microburst occurred in this supercell. The extent of trees down is incredible. We luckily avoided damage.

I'm in love with Dutch roundabouts. So much so i went around this one twice. I'd love to see more of these in Brisbane. Well... one would be a start.

Normally I'd be really reluctant to try and carry a tray of coffees or a pizza and cycle one handed. But in Amsterdam, with a comfortable upright bike and safe, smooth infrastructure with minimal bumps and stopping/starting, it's easy even for a low skill rider like me.

Peak morning commute time near Heidelberg train station. This is a functional city at work.
