So where was I? Yeah, that’s right, I went to Melbourne then came home and sort of just fell asleep. Melbourne was great. Good to be back in my home state. I don’t know what to make of myself sometimes because I don’t often feel very Australian and despite, or probably because of, my football-filled [...]
Why can’t I post from my phone? Later…So after typing a whole post in the departure lounge at Adl airport on my tiny tiny phone keypad in Opera mini, and trying to save it about 20 times and trying to publish it about 20 times and nothing happening, the above was what I actually managed [...]
I love the train ride home: that brief period of being able to sit and just be. That time between the busy-ness of work and the seagull persistence of young kids. Time to slow down (which, let’s face it, is something the Adelaide rail network has perfected). Things are hectic but in a good way, [...]
Fucking heatwave has warped the neck of my guitar. That’s it, I’m checking the insurance policy.
Posted by mobile phone: I got up an hour ago. Not just because of the heat either. Too much rubbish floating around in my head; there needs to be some kind of vacuum attachment that goes right up your nose to suck all those festering thoughts out. Oh, there goes the alarm… And of course [...]
I was involved in a wedding today. While the nuptials part of it is largely irrelevant, it did involve pre-dinner drinks at, and on, the Adelaide oval. There were a bunch of private-school boys involved as well. Honestly, if I’d heard the words “hallowed turf” one more time, I was going to glass someone.
That bushfire down the road is a little bit worrying. Sure, it’s a few kms away and headed in the opposite direction. But it’s just down the road. Action stations… I’m going to pack a few bags, just in case. Later… 22.52 Well, I never thought we’d have to flee and luckily I was right. [...]
I saw an ad for that new Will Smith movie, where he’s literally the last man left on earth. At least, he is in the ads; he probably meets someone else about halfway through so the movie has some kind of plot. It’d be pretty dull otherwise: get up, eat canned food for breakfast, go [...]
How disappointing. I went to Haigh’s this arvo to buy some more Caramel Chocs (C loves them, so instead of flowers, I get her luxury chocoates). There was not a soul in the store and three people behind the counter. I brought my purchase to the counter and the girl expertly wrapped them in the [...]
There’s a health food eatery not too far from where I work. It’s not one of those places that has buckets of oats and barley out the front, it’s a place to go for lunch where they have heaps of home-made stuff, but really nicely cooked. I suppose not all of it’s “good for you”… [...]
