Glastonbury weather 🙁
I guess it wouldn’t be a Glastonbury festival if it didn’t rain 🙁 It appears that showers are forecast for the weekend, even though it’s beautiful and clear now. I just hope that we won’t have to fight through the mud again (camera got wet in 2008, 2007 photos 1, 2007 photos 2, I didn’t…

My new “toy”: BMW R1200GS
Remember about a couple of years ago when I was considering to buy a motorbike? Few months later I went through a safety course and got my US rider endorsement. Then, last year I came very close to buying the 2008 BMW R1200GS (even put down a deposit) but then I decided that it was…
