Happy Daylight Savings!

The sun has been waking me up for weeks, and it will be nice to enjoy the light at a more useful time of the day.
Instead of lying in bed, and 'wondering why the heck I am awake?'€™ I can get home after work and walk down to the beach, or enjoy a sunset jog in the park.


I reckon that this is the best season of the year. It's much better then 'need to get my Tax Return in Season'.€™ (which you either love or hate,) or '€˜travel agent High Season'€™ (where all transport and accommodation is a lot more expensive.) I'm not going to go into how much 'Flu Season'€™ sucks.



So I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Daylight Savings.

October 12, 2006: You know its summer when…

The weather has started to warm up enough for people to think about beaches and BBQ and snogging under a tree in the park. But it’s spoiled by the arrival of thousands of flies. Suddenly they’re everywhere!


The Italian guy at work has the outline of his sun glasses burned into the skin of his face (he fell asleep on Bondi beach.)



People start walking down the shady side of the street.



I get home after work and the sun is still in the sky.



Air conditioning advertisements move to high rotation.



The weather outlook for the next couple of days is HEAT WAVE. Surf life saving organisations expect the beaches to be ‘standing room only’ and issue a warning for People to swim between the flags. Large chunks of bushland are forecast to be charcoal by Monday.

I'd like to thank Sean for his good advice on inserting photos.

October 08, 2006: Why is sushi so expensive?

Hi folks,
I’m back to tell the tale.



There was very little food in the house when I got back, and I haven’t had the time to shop, so I’ve been eating out all week.

Started with fish and chips, then a burger on Wednesday before a film at the gallery, a pizza the following day, and sushi on Friday night.

I visited the local sushi train and spent twenty bucks!

Twenty bucks and I wasn’t stuffed.

Is sushi some sort of fashion thang?



Lift is working today. It’s been silent in the shaft for more then four weeks now.

Suddenly grinding sounds can be heard through the doors.



All my plants have died.

Wasn’t able to convince anyone to water my plants while I was away (just as well cause the lift being out of action would have stretched the friendship,) and the plants suffered in the heat. Only the Aloe and the Australian lime hybrid survived.



I can still feel the motion of the sea at night.

Very weird.

October 02, 2006: Back in the arms of normality

Public holiday today, which I didn’t realise until late last night.
Lucky for me cause I thought I was going to be at work today, and my grip on reality is still a bit tentative from the flight.

Managed to stay awake all yesterday (in an attempt to force sleep patterns back into local time,) apart from falling asleep on the toilet for ten minutes.



Funny you should mention Indian food, adrii.

Our big night out in London was a bus trip to Brick lane, from Camden markets (which get more commercial and less interesting each time I visit,) then drinks in back street bar.

The most memorable thing about dinner was that it was quite expensive.

If you’ve never been to Brick lane, it is best described, as being memorable for the shear density of Indian restaurants in one spot.



I’ve posted some photos from the trip.
