Simply cycling around
After 5 months spent with Robin and other flatmates I moved recently in that new share house in Darlinghurst. It’s situated really close to the city centre. We are ten (5 girls, 5 guys) but the house is big and we don’t feel we live on each other. One of the first thing I’ve noticed was that this house is very nice but a bit dirty for me. Lucky them, I like cleaning :-) I’ve spent my first weekend cleaning the kitchen and the two bathrooms. Now I feel better :-)
As usual, I like repairing stuff by myself because it’s more interesting, cheap and when it success I feel great. We are three cyclist at work and Matt lent me some tool. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find the chain whip to hold the cassette so I had to find some other solutions. The goal is to lock the cassette to be able to unscrew the nut. I’ve decided to use zip ties (cerclips) but untight the cassette requires quite a lot of power and my tiny zip ties broke very easely. The first attempt is a fail…
Another weekend, another cycling day. Yes it’s winter and the sun is bright and warm enough to stay outside onto a piece a green grass. I don’t want to imagine the temperature in summer…
I’m today in Paddington to change the lens of my glasses. I must wait an hour so I decided to visit around. Paddington is, I think, a rich area. There is not any hight building, only houses. It’s situated on a hill, a perfect place to set up a Reservoir and supply water for a part of Sydney. Let’s have a look!
The company is growing and Robb and Dave decided to organise the space differently and make the area more efficient than it is. Everyone is actually sitting in a row so we are going to change this and I proposed my help :-)
Another nice weekend full of sunshine take care of Sydney during winter (maybe not for long). I’ve got no choice than cycling around again and take some souvenirs of this city. This time I’m going to Glebe. it’s situated between Pyrmont and Newtown.
I’ve already the chance to have a free swimming pool at disposition and as I found out last weekend there is a Ping pong club 10 min from where I work and on the way home, too easy :-) The guys here are good, very good. Mainly they are asian (I’m not really surprised) and play like the asian! with that wired position of the hand (like the guy with the pink shirt). I going to sweat and this is good ;-) This place is open 7 days a week, just perfect!
