If this is global warming – bring it on!
[Updated 8/1/06] Just joking about the title. I really think global warming is an extremely serious issue and I’m upset at Howard’s refusal to ratify Kyoto. But January is light hearted month so I’m being a bit flippant. What I really mean by the…
Another Fine Day
[Updated 8/1/06] When I woke up this morning at 7:30 there was not a cloud in the sky. I’ve seen that happen so many times down here. At 7:30 it is clear. By 9am it is completely overcast and I had given up hope of it being a beach day. However, the strange…

Familiar Places II
Written Tuesday 27th December 2005 We had a slow start to the day today. We were both really tired and enjoyed the sleep in. I often walk each morning when I’m here but not today. We went down to the Surfing Albatross for coffee. The ‘Albatross has changed…
