There’s something quite relaxing about a rainy day. The sound of the rain falling (sadly drowned out by passing traffic at our place) has a random calmness about it. Also, given that we can’t really go anywhere, the whole day becomes a low-key event. So, while relaxing, the whole day ends up being a non-event….
34. Eat a better way
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Now I’m no heart surgeon, but I think that there’s better ways to get a to man’s heart. Not once I have seen anything where a heart surgeon begins an operation by trying to stick his fist through a man’s belly button. However,…
33. Blind as a bat!
There’re not too many experiences that man loathes as much as having to choose new glasses frames. Any type of shopping that doesn’t involve something with an engine (be it anything from an electric toothbrush to an airliner), things that are old and rusty, noisy things, shiny things or things with alcohol in them, simply…
32. The bus route.
Today I had the pleasure of taking a different bus than I normally do, and for a person who likes routine, this is always a bit odd. Having said that, I still got on the bus at the same point and got off at the same point. The only thing that was different was the…
31. Sun rise, Sun set
There is a strange and mysterious thing that happens every day, its origins are often debated and carry a lot of speculation. This occurrence is so reliable that we don’t often notice that it has happened. Yet, its existence is a critical component to all our lives. Every single day the sun rises and the…
30. Sometimes you’re the spider, other times you’re the bug.
Today as a shit day, simple as that. I under delivered on something that I know I should have delivered on. In doing so, I left myself open to scrutiny, and rightfully so. At the time my ego was dictating the narrative in my head and trying to place the blame somewhere else. My ego…
29. Happy Bathurst Day
In case you live under a rock, or just don’t care, today was the V8 Supercars Bathurst 1000. And while the race had all of the drama and excitement you would expect from the great race, it just wasn’t the same. This year marks the last year of any factory backed teams, with Holdens departure…
28. The Hard Path
Today I set out with a good friend to tackle a hiking trail that promised to get the blood pumping and provide some tough challenges. What we didn’t count on was our decision making that would inevitably make the task even harder. I’ll recount the events of the morning the best I can and hopefully…
27. Friday Night Tunes
Well here we are, it’s Friday night and its been a loooooong week. With one thing or another, this week has taken a bit of a toll on me and it ain’t over yet. Normally, I would pull the plug on the week’s activities. I’d end up nearly falling asleep on the lounge after getting…
26. Greenest Thumb
Today I planted my first hops rhizome, a variety called Target Hops. I have to admit hear and now that I did not undertake this activity without expert supervision and, to be fair, I was really only an assistant. My knowledge of plants come down to 3 key things: They need to be put in…
