It didn’t look like we’d be going anywhere today. It started grey and very foreboding. I managed to get wet walking home from the shops as the rain started. It all looked pretty much set in for the day. Warm … Continue reading →

I woke up this morning to hear that Australia had bowled out the English cricket team at the SCG to win the Ashes series 5-0. It sounds like it was a complete capitulation. For the other matches, we have been … Continue reading →

Posted on December 15, 2013 by Gary

Peter O’Toole died today. He was celebrated today for his greatest film role, Lawrence of Arabia. I particularly remember him for his pox ridden Tiberius in the controversial Caligula of 1979. Disgustingly believable. O’Toole was one of those actors who … Continue reading →
