Bicycles - Not just for riding

 Now that I've recovered for the 2025 AtoZ Blogging Challenge I feel like posting some more snaps taken on my travels. 

Among my collection of Bicycle Snaps are several that may not be used as a means of transport. Following are some snaps of riderless bikes.

May Reading

Considering that I had a little holiday at the beginning of May I'm quite satisfied with the results of my reading this month. I'm also pleased that my four Libby accounts supply me with plenty of free reading matter. I also read a couple of local history books which are not in the Goodreads database, I'll have to rectify that. 

I'm still on track to finish the Goodreads 2025 Challenge. 

My progress in the Goodreads Challenge

Here are the covers of some of the books I read. The only one that was a disappointment was Convict Orphans. 

The Unquiet Grave (Cormac Reilly #4)
Lyrebird
Sarah Thornhill
Lake Macquarie: Past and Present.
The Inheritance
We Are the Stars
The Cyclist (DS Cross Mysteries, #2)
Convict Orphans: The heartbreaking stories of the colony's forgotten children, and those who succeeded against all odds
The Briar Club
The Mud House

Reflecting on the 70s

 

 

So proud of our efforts to populate Australia in the seventies and early eighties. Our bundles of joy who are all grown up are a constant source of joy.
