We had to be in Hobart for the Friday Night for Fleur's Birthday Weekend (FBW), a annual tradition for expat Victorian Fleur (TwinGirl) birthday. Its a weekend of drinking, drinking and more drinking, pole dancing, comparing nipple rings and general drunken stuff... I "think" I got to bed about 3am, a 22hr day with over 500km of riding as well. I awoke about 11am to a 40kg Rottweiler (Bronsan) licking my feet, who was I to argue, it felt good.... is that wrong?
