Yesterday I completed my CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) meaning as soon as I have sufficient funds, I can get a 125cc bike. Enjoyed it a lot more than I had expected.

I think my lawn mower has a bigger engine than that. :P

A decent 125 will still do 60/70mph :) I rather enjoyed my little 125.

Tinadrin, the real fun happens at 600+. Best thing I ever did getting a big bike. I ride a 900 for the moment and it's so much fun; while I'm still physically able to ride it that is :)

On that note, the winter this year is really doing a number on my circulation. Reynaud's has never been a major issue anymore but theres points where I've needed a crutch just to walk. Riding to work is agonizing but I haven't got much of an option really. I'm just hoping I can get a tablet I know can sometimes help with circulatory issues from my GP.

Well it's been quite a week so far.

I auditioned for a modelling agency on Tuesday. Got a call back Wednesday. A photoshoot today. And am meeting some people from a catalogue tomorrow. That moved along far quicker than I had anticipated.

Well Dad is out of the hospital and back home. His stroke seems to have been a mild one, thankfully. He's still dealing with the effects, but it was about as good as we could have hoped for and much better than it could have been.
