Everything is better with wings

I know because they keep telling me on the TV.

Only a quick short bike ride today as I received an invite to go out for a walk with Mick and Coral which was too good to resist. Bust a gut on the ride trying to beat 3 personal bests. Equaled the first, missed the second by 1 second and the third by 10 seconds. Just goes to show that the best strategy to improve your times is to lose belly fat and not spend money on a fancy new bike. Lesson learned.

OK, that last statement was a lie. 

Here's a question for you - imagine that you could drill a hole through the earth and out the other side and line it with an insulated lining so that it is cool enough to survive inside this very deep and bottomless hole. Now you jump into the hole. What happens? 

This is the sort of nonsense that I think of when I am awake at 5 a.m.

Anyway, I have two theories:

1). You will fall down the hole and due to the speed built up will pass the core of the earth but then gravity will take hold (because you are now falling up and not down) and pull you back. You will yo yo like this for a while but gradually come to a complete halt just suspended in the middle of the earth
2). As there is nothing beneath you but southern hemisphere sky when you step over the hole and sky has no gravitational pull, you will not fall down the hole but hover over it

I'm inclined to go for the first option but am happy to listen to other possibilities.

Extras include a few more pictures from Luke's birthday celebrations last night.
