While I mostly blog just for myself, it sometimes would be nice to have a few more readers. There are times, such as a few minutes from now, when I’d like to be able to ask a group of people something so it would be good to have a decent sample size. What’s been on [...]
Little Miss L turned six last week. This meant that a party to celebrate such a milestone would naturally fall on the weekend. Friday being Halloween, it seemed natural to combine the two occasions with a creepy All Hallows Eve/Birthday party. C was a trooper in getting most of the organising done. She’s rather a [...]
As I said a while ago, I’ve been neglecting this space but there has been much going on at chez Drew over the past few weeks. The upshot of it all is that a few hours ago, I handed in my notice to my current employer. There has been no real bad feeling regarding seeking [...]
This story, about a man flying a Nazi flag in his front yard has caught my attention. At the risk of contributing more to the obvious offence that something like this would cause, I really can’t see a problem with it. I have pretty strong civil libertarian leanings: people should be pretty much free to [...]
I’ve been neglecting this blog of late but with reason. Full-on job-search mode has been the order of the day, so every spare minute has been spent putting together a profession folio site. I had an interview this morning, which was a good motivator in getting the site up, so all I had to do [...]

Overheard at morning tea today: “I don’t want two pieces of cake!” “That’s not two pieces; it’s one piece cut in half!”
I went on leave today. I have two whole weeks of anything other than work to look forward to. I’ve been looking forward to it for a while and it’s almost a little scary how quickly it’s come around. Most of this week, I’ve even been in holiday mode: not getting too stressed about things, [...]
I get the Belair line train into the city most mornings. I met a work colleague at the station this morning and we got in the train together and were having a nice chat about work stuff; boring but interesting. The Adelaide public transport system, the rail network in particular, has a bit of a [...]
I was walking across town last night after work to meet my SO for a ride home. I was carrying my Holga, in case anything of photographic significance should have made itself apparent to me, and was trying to put my headphones on (or in) at the same time. My headphones are the in-ear type, [...]
