Here is a good way to preview the book I wrote about my time in Tanzania.

Mizu na Pia [Mizu in the Sink], originally uploaded by Jim Skea.

Wow, this is bizarre. An island resort off Australia is doing amazing deals because they might sink soon. The weight of the resort and global warming is combining.

Crazy.

Amazing accommodation prices for a sinking island resort

Wool Loo Moo Loo - Woolloomooloo, Sydney, originally uploaded by avlxyz.

I had a rare Sunday night off work to have a great BBQ with neighbours.

3 bottles of great red wine later, and 1 shot of Konyagi, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself.

It’s our last Sunday night in Woolloomooloo, of which I’m bitter sweet sad. It’s been great and thanks to all those who made it special.

Enjoying watching some live music via Moshcam;

These girls are from Canada but for some reason their heads don’t bounce up and down like Canadians do on South Park…

Watch Tegan and Sara and other great gigs on Moshcam.

Cigarette Butts — IMG_7502, originally uploaded by stevendepolo.

Last week a guy spat in front of my bike and said “Where my sposed to spit mate?” when I gave him a dirty look.

This morning a guy dropped a box on the ground and drove off.

Every day people drop cigarette butts on the ground and leave them.

Lots of things piss me off and I get very disappointed in people.

I wonder though, am I more disappointed in them or in my lack of courage to do anything about it.

Pop and the McKenzie sign, originally uploaded by bigmick.

Pop came to visit this weekend. He even got up the stairs to see our deck. (click pic to see more)

Most of the houses in my area had names. Mine didn’t, so I thought I’d name it after my nan and pop. McKenzie.

Mick’s broken toenail, originally uploaded by bigmick.

I’m getting back into basketball, the hard way.

Last week a guy trod on my foot and broke half my toe nail off.

This week, I had to make this six foot three guy and he posts me up and treds on my toe about three times. I didn’t feel it during the game, but afterwards.

Ouch.

It’s now bandaged up.

Everywhere on twitter now you see “10 reasons you to travel” “14 things a team must have” “7382 Ideas to Get you Growing”

*sigh*

Enough already!

1. They are so over used now it’s painful.
2. All the goodness is lost in the boiling down.
3. You always end up with a weak one that is just in there to fill out the list.
4. They normally have more points just to be annoying.
