Was having a particularly flat and feel sorry for myself day last week when we heard the news about a Melbourne triathlon club friend who is a skilled and careful cyclist being seriously injured in a bicycle accident. He is now most likely quadriplegic after enjoying an active and competitive lifestyle. There is an update on his condition on a website friends have set up to help keep others updated and take some burden from family in answering questions. Mitch Anderson , well known successful triathlete and doctor also has some updates on his site with more medical details.
While it has certainly shocked us all - we can't even begin to imagine the impact on Michael and his family. Certainly puts a lot into perspective and makes you realise how precious and fragile good health is.
Our love, concern, best wishes are with Michael Forbes, his wife, young daughter, family and friends. Take care out there and treasure every moment!

Sovereign Hill, Snow and Cold
Yesterday Kingsley spent the day with Fairlie and Co exploring Sovereign Hill. I'll refer you to the report and accompanying photos over at FairlieAroundthetraps. I had been keen to take Kingsley there for her first time but circumstances just didn't allow it.
She had a fantastic time and was full of stories and recounts from the day and went to bed very tired. The CD of photos were great and the fudge they bought home for me was yummy. There is still heaps of fudge left as I controlled my steriod cravings and resisted the binge approach I applied to the chocolate teddy bear biscuits the other day!.
