I spoke with my grandmother today, something I haven’t done in a long time. She hasn’t been too well so I wanted to speak with her to hear from her how she was. At 86, you can’t really take time for granted. When we spoke she told me things of her first husband Robin, who [...]

So I turn 37 in a less than 2 weeks! It’s a bit of a dilemma actually because I don’t really know what I am supposed by like at this age. I know that I probably am not your typical mainstream 37 year old. Anyone mainstream at this age has kids. Not having kids and [...]

It’s been a relaxing weekend. I’ve really had a good time. Somehow I have to convince my work to let me have every second Monday off so I can add an extra day to my weekend every other week. Making the weekends last a bit longer would be just the thing to making life a [...]

There is a stillness to the night right now. It’s 12.41am and it’s all quiet outside in my middle class suburb. It’s very peaceful, and also very fucking cold! I don’t have any central heating in my flat right now, and so it’s damn cold inside. Maybe 14 degrees. I’m sort of used to it, [...]

Hah haaah! I did it!
1 hour 35 minutes later, it’s all clean and shiney fresh in my little art deco city flat! What a fucking legend!
Yeah well, it’s not so much art deco as traveller-backpacker-meets-suburban-city-boy.

As well I am trying to get into the guiness book of records for the most of amount of stupid dumbass blog entries whilst under intense pressure. I wonder what that record is actually?
12 [...]

WAAAHHH… People are coming over to my place tonight!
OH MY GOD!!!
Why don’t I keep my place cleaner?!
Don’t panic… right, bathroom first, then the kitchen, then mop the floors, then vacuum the rest of the flat, then dust the table tops, then wish the dishes, then have a shower.
I have 1 hour and 15 minutes… I [...]

Another jab at G.W.B. This one courtesy of my excellent and fantastic friend Lena back home in Helensvale.
Stupid is as stupid does
Padwanna!

After re-reading that last entry, I have decided the first thing I am going to do is finally make time for my 20 minutes of meditation at the end of the day, which I have been talking about for last 5 years.
I learned mediation technique at the London Bhuddist Center at Holloway Road a few [...]

For the first time in a month I find myself in my flat alone. The mate that I had staying with me - the one who was going through a seperation with his wife - has gone back home to patch things up. So now it’s Saturday just past midday and my place is eerily [...]
