One Year
I realised the other day that the travel component of my Travel Journal is one year out of date. So, for those of you still checking and reading this (who I believe are few and far between), you will start to notice updates from November 2006 forward as I input all my travel stories from the past year.
Dark Days are Here
Daylight Savings is gone, and the dark days are setting in for the winter. As it approaches 5:00 PM my work days are ending with glorious sunsets out the office window (albeit across the cemetary) but, by the time I leave, I’m strolling through the car park in the darkness. This is, of course, the price you pay for wonderfully long Summer days.
For those of you in Melbourne, see you in a month!
