Dropping the balls

The work/life/fun balance has been all out of whack recently, and time playing with bikes in the shed has been the last thing on my to-do list. It's been months since I last posted a blog entry and in that time we've gone from having had to evacuate 3 times in the face of fire threats to now, where the temperature is regularly in the minuses.

Perhaps not surprisingly, my priorities have turned to trying to heat the shed. It's bitterly cold out there, particularly as the only time I get to myself is after about 7pm at night when the boy is asleep. I'm mostly finished building a very funky wood stove, fashioned from an old water tank. Most of the grubby work is done, with the very real possibility of firing it up this weekend. I'll post again in the next few days with some more pictures and an update as to where I'm at with my new road frame.
