Welcome back Fiore in Sunset Hill

Reopened on 1/15 according to the barrister. It's been 18 months since the arson. It's nice to have it again, as the west facing windows are wonderful in the dark months.

9.5 miles, 2k calories burned

And I'm beat,

Looking back towards Gold Creek

Quiche, pan forte, mandarins and coffee

Lunch stop at the bridge

4.75 miles from TH

9:30 am Hyak parking lot

Friday afternoon at Molbaks in Woodinville

A dry, partially sunny spin on Friday afternoon after work.

A long way from Arthur’s Pass

Sunday at Woodland Park Zoo. Most visitors walked right past this little darling. When no one was around I had a little conversation with him: "kea! kea!" And he flew over to check me out.

Early lunch (11:30am) 3 miles out on the John Wayne

XC skating too, so I'm ready to eat.

First skate of 2019

Friday afternoon winter ride

Counter clockwise ride on Magnolia Bluff

Winter light

Ft Lawton in Discovery Park

5pm looking towards The Carl English gardens

No one here! All mine! Nobody's big backside clogging the walkway! No dogs! No one but me and the two guys working the small lock. Winter is the best!

Lonely sailboat in the small lock

Ballard Locks, deserted!

4:30pm in Myrtle Edwards Park

The raindrops started near Marination on Alki, but it's not serious. The park is deserted and calm.

Brunch at Cactus in Alki

A cloudy cold Sunday ride in the low light of a Seattle January is most palatable with something to look forward to. These are Christmas Tamales, one chicken verde and one beef rojo, complete with a mimosa.

Thai Passion Tofu

Friday night dinner with the last of my kaffir lime leaves from Mudgeeraba (picked December 2017). I resolve to plant a new tree in 2021.
