Boldly gone

Posted on January 23, 2010 by Gary

So, today in Starbucks, one of the regular guys who serve me asked where in Sydney I lived. A little while ago he’d asked where I was from and when I said NSW, he asked if I knew Woolloomooloo. After … Continue reading →

Doggy day

Posted on January 22, 2010 by Gary

A miserable, drizzly, grey day. ‘Nuff said. Poor Day-z has been having an incontinence problem. This has been going on for a few months. Back in November I took her to the vet and she prescribed some HRT (hormone replacement … Continue reading →

Sleepy

Posted on January 21, 2010 by Gary

I am working like a lunatic, trying to finish my fourth essay (it’s due next week) and the computer is driving me even crazier. I think my previous long days parked in front of a computer screen are forever behind … Continue reading →

Micro-climate

Posted on January 20, 2010 by Gary

Pleasant tunes

Posted on January 18, 2010 by Gary

Dull and grey today. That was all. And then a little bit of rain this evening. Not that we noticed. We were watching Wallander with Kenneth Branagh. Now, is it just me, or is Wallander very hard going? It’s all … Continue reading →

Sunday, sweet Sunday

Posted on January 17, 2010 by Gary

A glorious blue day with no snow, rain or wind. And the temperature has risen. So much that I started to work up a sweat on the way home from Waitrose. After a very late breakfast, we drove up to … Continue reading →

That won’t work in the rain

Posted on January 16, 2010 by Gary

The snow is all but gone! This morning we woke to grey clouds and rain, turning the snow to mere pools of it’s former glory. Sadly, Mirinda really missed out on the beauty. Last night we walked home via Borelli … Continue reading →

Fish on Friday

Posted on January 15, 2010 by Gary

YAY! Mirinda’s home! After an extended London stay of nearly two weeks. She almost missed the snow but a bit remains…though rapidly melting. I’m sure the poodles will get filthy when I take them for a walk tomorrow. Before I … Continue reading →

Kop that!

Posted on January 14, 2010 by Gary

This morning it rained. Just a little bit but enough to pockmark the snow that still sits thick upon the ground. Though, having seen Lorna’s photographs of Fargo, I’m not sure we can really call what we had, snow. In … Continue reading →
