White balloons

It's the first day of Spring in Melbourne, although technically the weather doesn't make an obvious change until later in the month - around the 23rd - the Spring Equinox.

A dysfunctional oven, thyroid and triple warmer

Logs burning in a fire pit

I woke up with the insane urge to write this morning. But not writing in my notebook, which I've been so inconsistent with. No, today I want to type, here, on my blog.

Barr Smith Library Quiet Study Room

I've come to Adelaide this weekend to have some quiet time to work on my new business. I wanted to make coming here worth while by doing something, or spending time somewhere I couldn't in Melbourne. Today I'm spending the day at the university I left 26 years ago. I'm sitting in the quiet … [Read more...] about Adelaide University – finally closing that chapter
