It's here!

So I just have to touch base with a pic of my new beauty before I hit bed... no basket as of yet, and that is a must for the commute to work but I will hunt for one locally this weekend.  Sorry about the homestyle image but at least you can see that I actually own her!

Bike Time!

I'm so excited!  So, today LA picked up my new bike for me - one that I ordered and payed for over 4 weeks ago!  I haven't even seen it yet, but it will be waiting for me when I get home from work... I can't wait!  Until I can take my own pics, here is one for you to look at... its a Trek Allant WSD 2012:

The Trek Allant WSD 2011 - isn't she pretty?

I'm really looking forward to riding it to my workplace in Thornbury.  From my home in Kensington, Melbourne, it is about 11kms each way.  I take the Capitol City Trail nearly the whole way - we are so fortunate for our bike paths here in Melbourne. 

I bought the bike from Cecil Walker in Fitzroy - they seemed to offer the best price around, $599.  They took longer than they said to get the bike in, but I guess that was out of their hands, as they pointed out.  It was apparently up to the Trek rep.  Anyway, I'm happy with my new toy.  Or at least I hope to be once I see it when I get home tonight!

Have a lovely night petals!

Hi Hello and Welcome!

Here I am!  The time has finally come for me to launch my own blog, after a very long time following others and refining exactly what makes a 'good blog' in my own mind.  I guess I have decided that my own life may actually be interesting enough to others to make them want to read! 
So, these are the things I hope to post on my blog, A Brilliant Blue:

• My persuits in a healthy life - workouts, new health product reviews and new healthy recipes.
• Food that may not fit under the classification of healthy! -New recipies that are worth sharing, restaurant reviews in Melbourne, market finds!
• Photos of Melbourne life - cafes, expos, markets, nature - basically wherever life takes us.
• Snippets of the gold I see everyday as a Kindergarten teacher in Thornbury, Melbourne.
• Travel, when this occurs -mainly back to Christchurch, New Zealand at present to see my Mum.  After the recent earthquakes in my birth city I have found the need to keep up to date on the goings on there. 

I am excited to see how my blog will develop and the other things that I find myself wanting to add!  Happy reading!
