Day 31.Are you missing a car? Someone must be, because I have been keeping an eye on a red car that has been parked in the middle of the Randwick racecourse car park since last Friday’s meeting.Seeing the occasional “abandoned” car out there, especially the day after race meetings is not unusual. It’s my guess the respective drivers had a few too many drinks while watching the races, and sensibly ... Read full entry

Day 30.TV, or film production units, working on outside or non studio locations, are usually fascinating to watch. It seems an army of filming crew descend on the chosen filming site and literally take over.They usually arrive with several trucks and trailers jam packed with more equipment than is surely ever required, and for what seems like ages, various technicians and producers wander around the “set” trying to iron out ...

Day 29. Counting the days, counting the minutes.Time is very much on my mind these days. I seem to have enough of it at my disposal, but feel that I’m achieving very little.I’m on a Monday to Sunday sort of week at the moment. That is I’m not working on-site, Monday to Friday.So my day starts at about 9am. Usually the first thing I do is check my email and ... Read full entry

Day 28. A sooner than expected reworking of the art wall around at Cafe 105.As you can see quite a contrast to the more gothic Batman work that was there last week.Here’s a close-up, or detail. It looks like the wall is unfinished, hence I’m only posting a photo of this ... Read full entry

Day 27. Australia day weekend.It usually marks the end of the holiday period in these parts. Most people have returned to work by now. Schools gradually start coming back to life from Monday. In another month or so, the unis will resume normal programming (although it seems many people partake of the summer study programs now).So that’s almost the first month of 2007 virtually done and dusted. Time flies hey?I’m ... Read full entry

Day 26. Happy Australia Day everyone :)I’m sure most locals have heard about the Google Plane, an aircraft that will be buzzing around Sydney today, taking photos of what’s on the ground below.And this is the scene in Centennial Park (as of 7pm yesterday) which I believe is on plane’s flight path. Apologies for the poor quality of the snap, it ... Read full entry

Day 25, and time for a failsafe pick up line.“I just saw the GODDESS exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW, and an exhibit was missing…YOU!”Not bad, hey? Yes, indeed I finally managed to get to along to the show which has been running for a couple of months, and closes in a coupleof days. Leaving it ... Read full entry

Day 24. This article at New Scientist caught my eye the other day. Apparently blue-eyed men prefer blue-eyed women.Why? Because men with blue eyes are drawn towards blue-eyed women, and prefer to choose them as their partner because this can provide reassurance that the woman’s babies are theirs too.An interesting premise, but honestly who remembers enough of their high school biology to be that… selective? It seems men ... Read full entry

Day 23. It’s high time I updated my swimming trunks (or cossies, bathers, swimmers, togs, whatever). I have these baggy trunk thingies that I bought seven years ago, as there was half a chance I was going to be taking a dip in the ocean near a place I was holidaying at then.It never happened, and that’s probably on account of the fact the “swimmers” are a horrid purple colour. ...
