Grumpy bum?

This week, it has been like the mid-point of one of my ribs is majorly twinging - yesterday at work, I went to take a big, deep breath, to celebrate the end of the week, the joy of being alive, and whimpered in pain :(
Special mention must go to the makers of Pureau who have made a water worth buying-reverse osmosis creates a water that quite literally has nothing in it! Just check the side of the box-the percentages are always so miniscule as to be neglected/ignored! If you do not know what I mean, have a look at the side of the next commercial water you get, and see how that actual 'flavour' of the water is often from the particular combination of chemicals in there ... The taste is so empty, reminding me of rain water from my past, clean, effortless, echoing the tang of the tank that it had been sitting in ...
As for my visit to New Farm Park, it was reminiscent of my previous visits, but it just seems that it is now used differently? Down the Merthyr Street end are playing fields, particularly for soccer, but there is even a little canteen there now! Moving towards the river, there are still extensive rose gardens-although I am unsure of the varieties :( Still, an opportunity to further explore, hey? Then there are the rotundas, which still seem to be used for weddings, parties, anything. After that, there is a kind of dip down to the river, with the banks being really quite beautiful to picnic upon, looking out across the river, watching boats drift by, ferries commuting passengers along ... Oh, one special area that really seems to have been enhanced is the 'Dragon's playground' (I think it is called?), which is a great area for children to play in/on. There are swings, ropes, areas to explore-last time I went there, children had to drag me away, I was having that much fun! Of course, the Park backs on to what is considered Brisbane's premier arts' area, the Powerhouse - although, to be fair, it is only one of several premier districts in Brisbane ...
As for this week, I rode to work twice, taking about an hour each way, which was really quite amazingly good :) However, the 1st time I did it, I really, really suffered low blood sugar afterwards, and so was a bit 'grumpy' at customers ... Which reminds me, I had asked young Chris some time ago (2 weeks?) what he would change about me-this being part of my trying to understand what others perceive me as-and he replied that my instinctive agressive response to situations was confronting/worrying ... Anyway, there are a lot of customers who are totally 'Where is my refund???' and some of them were starting to be a bit aggressive to us-to the point where Wendy actually got so upset on Wednesday that she had to go home! grr Hmm, and my refund is still not come :( However, did get a letter from Centrelink saying that after 'careful consideration' they have decided to garnish my ITRR :o I mean, I knew they would, but WTF? What were the reasoning(s) behind this 'consideration' - more importantly, why could those reasons not be enunciated to me???
My efforts to elicit a SLX-01 seems to have come to nought - both Yellow Jersey and Velo were offered the exact specs of what was required, both said they would get back to me, neither has :( However, I did see some other possibilities, such as the cute NeilPryde designed frames and the ones from Canyon, which the Pharma-Lotto boys were recently riding in the TdF. One of the really, really great things about the Canyon bikes is that they have 660mm ST frames ... OMFG!!! So, might explore a bit further on that one ... Damn, yes, why not? They are a German manufacturer, who do not have retail outlets, providing all goods by post-which may make choosing/experiencing the frames a bit difficult? But they do have a rather good sizing/positioning evaluator on their site, so may have to do more measurements? Maybe I should just order the bike/frame + componentry I want, but through the post? Or, order the frame, and let OlE make it up for me???
Anyway, let us see what is to come for this next week ...
