On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Elections, Flex Moves and Epic Rides.

I know we’re all sick of elections and politicians, but on Saturday Australians ‘went to the polls’ and categorically shafted Scomo and the Libs. At the point of me writing this (Tuesday 24th) we know that Albo will be our new PM, but what the government will look like is a little unclear. Labour will be the biggest party, but at this point they are a couple of seats short of a majority (76 needed) but they are looking solid to get there. So, yeah, we’ve got a less right wing govy, for a more centre left one.

Recently, I was at the doctor and I noticed that they had their doctorate/diplomas etc handing on the surgery’s walls. This got me thinking, is that just a ‘flex move’ by professionals who display their diplomas and such on their walls. Is this something you do in your profession? Let me know.

As you may know, and as I’ve been talking about, I’m doing a 65 Roses Challenge this year to help raise a few bucks for Cystic Fibrosis. One of my goals as apart of my challenge was to see if I could do my longest ever ride, which I did last weekend. I took on an ‘epic’ ride which ended up being about 154km, yeah that long, mostly it was an ‘easy’ ride, but it did get a bit tough in a couple of spots, but I managed to keep going and I got home before it got dark!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Medication, Easter and Challenges.

Last episode I talked about a new drug that has been listed on the PBS. The new drug is called Trikafta and it does all sorts of fancy stuff, for individuals whom have CF. Fortunately for me, I’ve been on the new drug for a few weeks now, and it’s been very positive. Im just waiting to have a few tests to see what the medication has been doing for my health, hopefully I get some positive results back when they happen.

Interestingly, I also talked about Easter in the last episode, but not quite like this. Why doesn’t Easter have decorations like Christmas? Easter lights, Easter carols or even Easter trees or whatever. This could be a marketing masterstroke for us.

Last year during May I did a 65 Roses challenge, to help raise some awareness and funds for Cystic Fibrosis. This year I’m doing that again, my challenge is to ride 650km on my bike and also attempt my longest ever ride, currently my longest ride is 113km. I’ll add a link to my fundraising page below, so if you’d like to donate you can, however I would appreciate it if you could share the link on your socials.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Easter, Drugs and Bills.

Today is ‘Good Friday’ now, our family doesn’t have many traditions or anything like that, but one thing that is somewhat of a tradition is no red meat on Good Friday. It’s just something that we’ve always done, I think it’s something mainly from mums side of the family. But, it’s always an excuse to have some nice fish or something like that.

As some of you may be aware, I’ve got a condition called Cystic Fibrosis and fortunately there has been a new drug listed on the PBS. The new drug is called Trikafta and it does all sorts of fancy stuff, all going well I’ll hopefully be starting it next week. I will keep you updated on that in the next episode.

Wrapping up, good old Spotify have billed me! Simply, my 3 month trial of Premium finished up at the start of the month. But, instead of getting a message, email or whatever to say ‘oh your premium is up’ I just got done the 12 bucks! Scoundrels.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Travesties, Moneypenny and Signs.

A few weeks ago, or whenever it actually was, I went out for St Patrick's day. Of course I had a Guinness, because that’s a legal requirement, but I saw something that is a crime against the thick frothiness that is a Guinness. If you know how a Guinness is poured, its a bit of a process, first you pour ¾ of it, then wait for it to ‘settle’ then top it off, well what I saw that night was the ‘topping off’ being done by a beer! Not more Guinness, I wanted to ask the person who got the drink what the heck it was about, but they were with a group of other people. You know how it is…..

I had a slight run in with a lady who had an infamous name, that name is, Moneypenny! Miss or Mrs Moneypenny! Either way, Moneypenny exists outside the world of Bond and in my town. Who’d of thought is, not me that’s for sure.

Lastly, I saw a guy reverse into a sign, and just drive off. The guy was reversing out of their driveway and opposite there was a sign that had something like ‘Event in Progress’ on it, it was just a temporary sign. But the reverser, just hit it and then drove off. I guess given that their vehicle was a ‘work car’ (it had business branding all over it) they probably didn’t care if it had damage on it!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Monitors, Locked Out, Tools.

Computer monitors, what a thing they are, they make computers useful! Just last week, ours went up the snuff, great. Luckily I was able to hook up the TV as a quick short term fix, I was also lucky to be able to get a good replacement via the evolution of ‘click and collect’ not knowing how stock is and all that jazz. I think a new computer is in order next though.

Over the weekend, I made the wild decision to go for a ride on meh bike, however, as I left the house I didn’t have my drink bottle with me. Pretty much instantly I also realised I didn’t have my key with me ether, total disaster! But thankfully (I guess) our house has a ‘trick’ you can use to get inside, to which I pulled and got inside, after pulling some ‘mission impossible’ moves!

People mouthing off are complete goons, or in this case ‘tools’, also over the weekend I was just going for a slow ride in the evening, and as I was going around a corner near a set of traffic lights, I have some snoozer say ‘licence and registration thanks’ now if I had my licence on me I probably would of stopped to show them. I wonder how that would of gone down?

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Network Outages, Jobs and Christmas Lights.

On Tuesday this week, someone cut the cable! Yes, my state has a interconnector that runs from us to mainland Straya. The cable’s (I think there is three all up) supply electricity and internet/phone services. But, on Tuesday some cowboy on the ‘big island’ damaged one of the cables doing civil works, as a result for about 6-7ish hours there was no landline or mobile phone service, and also no internet! But, shockingly despite not having a connection, the sky didn’t fall in….

I’ve managed to con someone into giving me a job! And it’s at a bike shop! Hype. Longevity, is subject to my passing the standard 3 month probation period, but hopefully I can manage that and if I do, I might treat myself to a delicious new bike.

Christmas lights, I shouldn't be talking about them in early March, jet I am. Some houses near me STILL have them up and on during the evening/nights. I’m not into this, it’s ok to keep them up, but don't turn them on until December!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Best Friend’s, Camel’s and Dates.

So, one of my best friends! Has given me the ‘label’ or ‘title’ im not sure what to use here, of their ‘Best Friend’ and I feel that’s a big call, maybe even a captains call. At the time I wasn’t into it, and that I felt that I probably need to be doing more, for them to be able to handle that title. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually given someone personally the title of being my bestie. I’ve got a top three, and they sort of change around a little depending on what’s been going on etc. But yeah, I’m someones best friend, and its on the internet so it must be true!!!!

I saw a Camel, umm, I’m not sure where else to take this. When I initially saw it I did a triple take to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. Luckily for me I was with some other people who also saw the Camel, so I know im not crazy…..

In recent times I’ve been doing some Archaeology work, it’s interesting stuff. And when it comes to ageing finds it can be tricky, but luckily ‘The Boss’ has an encyclopedia of makers marks, for old porcelain and china. That means depending on the mark and if it’s fully intact, you can date something right to the day of manufacture!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Scooters, 22 and Bouldering.

Just before Christmas, my city started a e-scooter trial, and I’ve had two people say to me that I need to talk about them on the show. That said, I dont really have much to say about them, I’ve not used one and I don’t really need to. However, I may go and try one just for the sake of it.

Secondly, I just chat about a few things I have on my ‘Stuff for 22’ list, it mainly contains visiting places around where I live, places that are stupidly close to where I live, but have just never gone too. One big ticket item though is to get a Hammock!

Earlier in the week, two of my friends had their birthday, so they decided that the ‘friend group’ should go Bouldering/Indoor rock climbing. I’ve not done this before, but it was rather challenging and enjoyable, I also took my action cam with me, so keep an eye out on the Vlog channel for a video soon.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to read you a story!

Some tidying up of the spare room has been started, and as a result I found one of my favourite childhood books. Dr Dog, and you’ll be able to get nostalgic with me as I read you the story.
