The Light Brigade!

The last day of holidays... Sigh. We were determined to make every minute count. And as you will see, we did!

J-Bot's hint for a good ride - pump your tyres regularly!

A lovely ride in. Cruisey and chilled.

First destination: The Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Then we headed down to Circular Quay. Had a lovely bicycle stack not captured on film. So here is a re-enactment...

Nothing major hurt. Ummm actually no my ego is quite bruised. Here is how I pictured I looked falling off. You will have to ask others if I looked nearly this elegant.

What do you need after a bike stack? Duh pub lunch! Where we practiced looking 'Forlorn' just for the sake of it.

(S Practiced Beer Forlorness)

C-gee joined us to head to the Mirazozo. With not much to do while waiting in line we practiced being (you guessed it) 'Forlorn' while waiting in line. And took photos of the outside.

Check out my bag... Its a flamin' coconut!

Before heading in to the Mirazozo we were given a map.

Well we felt like we were in another world but believe me, it still didn't require a map.

For those of you not in the know about Mirazozo Luminarium let me fill you in. It is a sculpture inspired by nature, geometry and Islamic architecture created by the Architects of Air. The lights inside are created by the daylight shining through the coloured plastic. Take your camera in and play with all the fantastic things you can do with light. Remember to experiment with movement and angles. Be creative and adopt far out poses.

Or just chill out.

Then dance baby, dance!

Or start your own indie-electro pop band.

There are no photos of us heading home, because the rain was bucketing down. However we, the Feather Brigade, did discover the true meaning of the word 'Forlorn'...

Its just too bad we had such a good time regardless that we still couldn't help but smile!

Pish tosh xx

Roll into Twenty-Eleven

We hope everyone had a blast for new years. I personally think there should be rules that new year's eve celebrations must include sparklers, disco lights, and as many fairy lights as you can plug in.

For successful new year's eve parties I also recommend mass party migrations down to the nearest fireworks vantage point, a swim at 2am, watching Labyrinth (oh Bowie) then heading out on your bike with the friends who are rad enough to have lasted!

01/01/11 was a beautiful sunny day, perfect weather for new year's day. Our lovely Feather Brigaders E and A joined us for a trip to the markets and the search for precious, new year's day gozleme.

(The guys in the car behind E and S totally wish they were in our bike gang :P)

We then made our leisurely way back home to dump ourselves into the pool again with everyone's favourite party mascot, Milky Joe.

New Year's Resolution: Have more lovely days like this, filled with friends and bikes.
