She's selling off ex-hubbies toys :D always bargains to be had ;)

Telopea speciosissima are out in full bloom around Heathcote

My day usually starts with a surf... if it's too small I'll go ride some trails. I'd do both but work keeps getting in the way.

My followers love my work! ;)

My SRAM XO Trail brake, rear caliper is stuck on.The pads are also worn down to a couple of microns thick. I am thinking perhaps the pistons are simply extending too far and won't retract properly. I tried opening the bleed port and gave the lever a squeeze to remove any excess oil. I prized...
