Dear Leonnie

Leonnie ( aged 13) came from school into Town and came home with me. We travelled by train and read for the short 30 minute trip and then as we walked up from the station she told me that she is not suidicidal or anything but every night she goes to bed and she is [...]
Friday and January is almost gone
Posted in Family, Life on January 30, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Friday morning and the bulk of Sydney commuter traffic has returned from the summer/Christmas holidays and is right now rocketing down the Pacific Highway heading into the city. From here with the window open to catch the final evening cool as I sit here and compose myself, ready for the day, I can clearly hear [...]

Tony got the iPhone and I asked for ( and got) his JasJam. So I have a new toy.
Anyone out there use one? Have one? have opinions? Tony has informed me he misses the functionality at client sites for setting it up as a wireless access point, but I don;t think that will apply as [...]

I found I had inhaled sharply and deeply and 20 [...]
Australia Day 2009
Posted in Days, Life on January 26, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I suppose for Aussies today is like Independence Day is to the Americans, but I don’t think we take it as seriously. Celebrated annually on 26 January, the day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, marking the start of British colonisation of Australia. That doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate our [...]

Heat and temperatures of 40+ Celsius (over 100 Fahrenheit) largely throughout this week have bred a population with grey bags under their eyes, large enough to pack for a weekend away.

While this is happening dry roast schezwan peppers with sea salt and pound them in a mortar and pestle.
Splash oil into a wok and put in some schezwan dried chilis. Stand and watch these slowly blacken [...]
