galaxys5launch starts with neon drums

Intimate Kate Miller Heidke gig for work today. There could be worse jobs around, I guess.

Yay , fog.

Hello, again Sky Business

Pulled out the old Cheers glass to trial the latest Mad Brewers beer…

Finally stopped raining long enough to take a photo…

So… Slow…

New toy for the long weekend!

Mmm, beer. #thefirstbrew

A beer based off a porter that travelled with the first fleet to Australia. Not getting a commercial release. Funny lemon fragrances and a chocolate end. Very nice. #thefirstbrew

At the launch of #thefirstbrew - it’s pretty damn good…

Found some old Irish Punts, French Francs, Austrian schillings and more random, old, obsolete currencies in a bag. Now, to invent a time machine…

Forgot all about these. Can’t believe it was almost 9 years ago…

Damn. I was totally into cadets as a teenager, wasn’t I?

I love the sense of horror I manage to portray at the notion of British beaches being rocks…

I’m not sure I trust my 10 year old self’s judgment on a “monitor with excellent graphics” anymore…

Holy shit. Just found my travel diary from our 1990 round the world trip (I was 10). Can’t believe I refused to eat croissants…

And then there’s this: my 60-odd page hand written memoir penned during a particularly boring period in France. I haven’t been able to bring myself to read this again yet…

I just discovered these two notebooks from my backpacking trip just over 15 years ago (shit that’s scary!) One of them is full of messages from people I met (and is great) the other is full of my own writings. That one is painful to read. And not just from poor writing, but from the repetitive message of loneliness that permeates the pages. In hindsight, I was probably a bit young to take off across Europe by myself at age 18…

Not sure what @shaunprescott has against beer…
