Still glowing from the sunny weekend ( Read more... )

I am reading 'The Bilnd Assassin' and ejoying it thoroughly. Margaret Atwood, delving again into small town domestic disfunction in Canada, managed to put the experience of finding Atheism into a single sentence. In this case as a consequence of witnessing war ( Read more... )

Today I'm on the way to a site meeting at the school I'm designing for. I caught a taxi or the taxi caught me, let me explain ( Read more... )

On the weekend I baked some stuffed capsicum, veges & beets. And leftovers the next night.

For two days I pissed rose coloured water. Its enough to put a spring in my step in the morning

On the train tonight I finished Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood and I am convinced it is one of the best things I've read in my life. A wholly satisfying story perfectly told through the voice of a woman, who you never can decide if guilty or not of a savage double murder. That takes some skill. I love the minute detail of her daily life, a servant ( Read more... )

At the end of another 4 day week I've decided that a four day weekend once a month or so would be just about the right pace for me.... I'm proud of my forethought to book extra time off around the workshop in Melbourne. I got to spend time catching up with Peter, seeing a few galleries and a trip to the zoo. And as a bonus he practiced some ( Read more... )
