I liked this song in 1981 - although I never really understood it

I like it now - now I understand it - and woop woop it has two of my favourite things in it - road bikes and sheep!

I'm posting it because I had this conversation with the Frau Doktor today (although actually I think I will call her the GP as I really reserve the Frau Doktor title for a former colleague I worked with).  Anyway the GP and I concluded I wasn't depressed, not that I thought I was :-)  Although I have been stressed.  Yep, that's a factoid.  I'm human.

And for those watching that programme on Wednesdays, this song here, well this song was the first song I played on my flash new stereo - the first significant thing I ever bought.  Now its an aged stereo but I've still got the turntable.

I dedicate "For Today" to Dr N.S.  Also, KM as in that NZ way of seven degrees of separation she flatted with the NWDT boys.  KM will be at the finish line at Taupo.

It's kind of interesting to listen (at least I think so) to Fat Freddys Drop and The Yoots - music I like a lot - and the similarity is the brass/jazz groove.

l always liked Don Maclashan, Netherworld Dancing Toys and Annie Crummer. They are my best  memories of the 80s.

Oh yeah, checked in with the Hutt girl at RPM today.  It was good in a Hutt girl way, and also because it tests the road work I've been doing.  The Hutt girl is not tht T lady - TJ, but in the absence of TJ is a good RPM instructor.  I did 20km on the bike before the  RPM session.    Although the only that disturbed me about the Hutt girl today was when she made some reference to doing 160 RPM.  I'm currently doing between 100 - 120RPM when I measure it on the bike.  Oh well, that's what I need to aim for Taupo:  160 RPM?

Also went for a swim and sauna at Freyberg.  Woops. apparently the sauna is an extra $4.60.  But not today it wasn't!!  It felt good to have a decent sweat in the sauna.  No wonder you don't see "poor people" at the pool. It is actually quite expensive when you are on a budget.

Oh, and I may have got a bit aggro in the "international"aqua jogging lane.  But seriously, this international woman was going the wrong way, so I stared her out and stood my aqua jogging ground!  Also the same with these two social aqua joggers that were taking the lanes talking talking - that's what coffee is for ladies.  Seriously, there is protocol aqua jogging ladies, and it should be followed.  Oh, yeah, as much I hate to admit it, I like rules!
