I have just brought my wife a sony e reader for her birthday, and one thing I learnt during researching my purchase is to buy one that supports e-Pub. It is the format that the libraries will be putting their books out on in the near future. As an aside the sony reader is pretty impressive...

Having a great song bouncing around in your head ( Jezabels Try Colour ) and then getting in the car to go somewhere and that song is playing on the radio as you start the car. :tickled_pink:

Having to take my older daughter to hospital on Friday afternoon because she tried to jump and grab the 5th bar on the monkey bars and missed. Result, smashed her nose on the step of the other side of the monkey bars. We are not sure if her nose is broken or not, as the swelling was pretty huge...

If you go to your LBS and ask for a presta valve adaptor, they are a little brass thing that screws on to your presta valve and enables you to use a schraeder pump fitting. They are about 4 or 5 bucks, if that

We have just bought my soon to be 7 year old daughter the 24 inch Giant Areva. 21 gears, suspension fork, and canti brakes.

Hey mate, there are a heap of trails here in Perth. Dwellingup has some of the best trails around but there are some great trails being built and upgraded closer to Perth too. http://www.mtbguidebook.com/ this book has just been released and is a pretty comprehensive guide to the trails here.

I can't comment on the wide fit side of things but I have a pair of Sidi road shoes and they are the comfiest things ever. The shimano shoes just don't fit my feet, and the sidis, once broken in are superb. It is a personal choice but I can't reccomend the sidis highly enough.

+1 for these guys. http://www.champ-sys.com/ I am wearing there gear on the road bike ATM, a company I do some work for has had whole kit made up. Good quality, comfy and hard wearing too.
