You are here.
Ahoyhoy. Ever been so busy having a good time that you haven’t had a chance to write about what a great time you’re having? Yeah, well… that. Following an EXTRAORDINARILY successful tour of Adelaide, Canberra, then Adelaide again, I’m now in Melbourne on a fairly warm (36 degree) day, waiting for my lift to head…
Barely had a spare second to scratch myself – let alone write blog entries – this week. Tomorrow morning’s departure to Adelaide is presently very much on my mind, and my primary interest is not sleeping through my 05:00 alarm in order to be able to take off from Heathrow at 09:20 (yeah… 4+ hour…
Before we get on to the riveting topic of the post, amid all the talk of Movember I thought it might be prudent to acknowledge the moustachial efforts of a fine band of individuals, being they who grew a mo this year and raised funds for charity. What an ace collection of mo-work, wouldn’t you…
The process of novelwriting is an educational one, as it turns out. Here are a few insights from personal experience based on this year’s attempt at Nanowrimo: It’s absolutely critical to recognise an environment where you’re not going to be able to get any writing done. For me, 2 biggies were home, and work. Along…
Afternoon all! As December hovers into view, so too does my trip back to Adelaide, Melbourne & Canberra. If you’d like to catch up, can you send me a facebook message, an email, a message through the Contact Me form, a text message, etc. & we can work out a time/date/place! Adelaide: Dec 12, (busy…

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Y’know sometimes when you do something which is just straight-out cool, and you know you’re gonna remember for the rest of your life? Well, that! I read on the HIGHLY EXCELLENT “Ian Visits” blog that it’s possible to arrange to take a tour of the Clock Tower at the Houses of Parliament, and that…
Yes, I know today’s Friday. This may be in part inspired by my recent-ish reunions with former Torrens Park Cub Pack alumni Ben Glazier, Jeremy Cochran, and via t’internet, Alex Brooks. Or maybe it’s the product of a mind desperately searching for stuff to make lists of. In any case – here’s a list of…

Spiders and I have a bit of a non-agression pact going currently. It wasn’t always this way, but then in Australia they’re usually going into the argument a little better equipped. It started when I was about 8 or 9, and Dad made us a sort of cubby house in the back yard which was…
