Ok, so I’ve been away from my blog for a while, but I’ve got excuses. Plenty of them, in fact.

Firstly, I got dragged (willingly, I might add) into the whole triathlon thing. So I needed a new bicycle:

Then, of course, in order to be able to take pictures of triathlons, bike races and such (because I was now hanging out with a bona fide athlete, even if I wasn’t one) I needed a new camera. So I got one:

And, of course, I had to spend time getting to know the camera and taking lots of pictures (see my gallery). Then I needed a new laptop to do fun things with the images. So, of course, I got one of them too. The cat was an optional extra:

Naturally that meant that I needed to spend time configuring the laptop, installing software, putting pictures onto the laptop and being otherwise distracted from blogging. So I did that. And was more distracted.

Then my old car decided to start misbehaving and I was faced with quite the dilemma. New car, used car, new bike, used bike, no bike. What to do, what to do. So, of course, I bought the S4:

And seemingly I’d given up on the whole idea of also having a 2-wheeled toy. Of course, though, the thought of some cool Italian toy stayed in my head so when I saw it, I had to have it - Aprilia RSV1000 Factory:

Sometimes you just have to say “What the Fuck”, live a little irresponsibly, and acquire a shitload of new toys.

Oh, and I also invested a little in my future:

Life is good.
