Nearly a year ago, at the end of Spring 2020 or perhaps the start of Summer 2020 I filled the pool with river water or as it’s better known in Austalia creek water. It wasn’t hard because I have a lovely creek at the bottom of my garden along border of my property. When it… Continue reading Filling the Pool with Creek Water
Day One Driving my New BMW F650
So the insurance for the bike was delayed, in an administrative tangle, and I could not use it.
