summer comes again
Summer's coming. Daylight savings has started. I went up to one of my favourite beaches on the weekend. I've always had a fondness for Palm Beach. I guess its partly because of the sweeping arc of the beach punctuated at the end by two big bluffs, one with a lighthouse. And then of course it faces...

ascending achievement
On the weekend I scaled the heights of a mountain (well with the aid of a well defined walking trail and some well placed ladders). Now there was a sense of achievement: ascending to a height; looking out on the blue undulating world of mountain ranges, forests and sheer cliffs; an entirely new...

what I wrote for my profile on a dating website...
If you know the pleasure of trees sighing in a breeze and sunlight dancing on the ocean read on.. I'm a man with simple tastes: love bushwalking and nature photography; travelling; movies; great literature; ice cream and jumping around when I hear a song I like. I like to see and be inspired by...

how baby got real dirty
I went for a drive up the coast for the weekend partly to see some new sights and partly to give my new car a trial. I found my way into Barrington Tops National Park via Gloucester. The track quickly turned into winding gravel roads punctuated by fords which provided great opportunities for...

the beginning of brilliant expeditions
I stopped by one of my favourite shops after work, Map World, a small shop in the city dedicated to selling maps, globes and other related items. I walk into the shop and it puts me in adventure mode. If I was living in a different place I'd be tempted to buy a big old fashioned globe. So I picked...

I have been slack
I couldn't believe the last movie review I did was back in May! Click HERE NOW! Isn't somebody meant to be keeping an eye on me in these matters. LLM! You let be get slack. You know sometimes I deserve to be treated bad, real bad, nasty! Oh its just a phase he's going through. Anyway I have reviewed...

my russian correspondent
One day, when I openned my email, I found one of those spam emails from the most beautiful Tatyana from Russia. A quirk search showed the city she was emailing from is one of the most notorious spam generating locations on the planet. But I was bored so I sent a rather indifferent reply. She replied...

the means to move
I believe that I have found the coolest car in the known universe. It's blue like the ocean in a deeply reflective mood or like some kind of very blue drink with a small umbrella artistically lodged in the top. I'm surprised at my enthusiasm over a car. It hit me all of a sudden when I saw it. I'm...

jazzing it up
There's a great pleasure in drifting through a Sunday afternoon in the sure knowledge that you don't have to be at work the next day. On this sunny day I took the ferry to Manly for the annual jazz festival. It's a very popular event and I'm sure that's partly because it's predominantly free. There...

falling apart
It's a Friday leading into a long weekend. Joy! Yesterday my work computer refused to start which seemed appropriate given my technological conspiracy blog earlier in the week. Its lead me to wonder what it would be like if someone's relationship with technological stuff was to completely break...
