Old La Honda

by

Two weekends back now, I finally got ye ol’ pushbike out for a bit of rotary motion. ’twas my birthday weekend, you see, so I: Since I’m not really at fiscal liberty to splurge on say a new iMac, as last year, given I’m still stubbornly trying to pay off HECS, some decent chocolate was… Read more

Vegas

by

’bout time I wrote this up, I suppose. Some months I’m just not in the mood for writing. Then I sit down abruptly and spend four hours doing it. Go figure. It was a lot more continuous when I was back in Oz and had more immediate feedback from people. Or just social contact in… Read more

One more week down

by

I’ve… Read more
