…where the air is clear as crystal and the bright stars fairly blaze… (Hat tip to AB Paterson and his marvellous poem “The Man From Snowy River”.)
What a simply marvellous weekend.
Glen, Tash, Astley, Kristina and I went camping at Giraween this weekend.
It was cold!…5 degree celsius upon our 7pm arrival at the [...]
It’s official… I am off to Princess Alexandra next year. Offers came out today and I have accepted….for better or for worse.
Assuming that is… I pass. Which is a big assumption at present.
Kind of good to have a definite job for next year (not that there was any doubt about having one)….but to [...]

You know you are in the booners when a kangaroo hops across the road when you are coming home from uni at 4am (yes…that’s AM).
You know you’re in the booners when the expectant father’s mother is apparently drunk and potentially doped out in the delivery room
You know you’re in the booners when there are baby [...]
Mmmm coffee.
As car was being serviced today (10 thousand km overdue for a service) I walked to the Royale – conveniently via the Merlo factory…. I dropped in to get my tins refilled with freshly roasted beans…and sipped on a complementary latte whilst I watched them roast a batch of beans. Bliss….surrounded by the [...]

Hat tip to Kits’ kind generosity allowing me to borrow her copy of “Wicked“. I now have this song “Popular” running around my head. Interestingly, compared [...]
I watched the TI DVD this evening. It was weird seeing it from an audience-eye-view(TM).
Some thoughts:
It’s not as bad as I thought it might have looked.
It doesn’t sound as bad as I thought it sounded…except for some bits…but the voices generally blended well.
I wish I had seen it before opening night…. I so would [...]
What is it with me and pubic(sic) transport? Why is it that whenever I get into a cab that I end up with a “unique” cab-driver?
This evening …. post tile-tapping (more on that later)… I ended up with a cab driver who seemed….at face value at least, to be sane. I guess I [...]
Argghh… I have succumbed…and bought that wretched ‘book that shall not be named’. I am sick of people being smug about it or giving away bits and pieces about it.
I didn’t particularly feel overly excited about the last one but I figured I should read this one just so I can stop having people [...]
