I lined up like every other sucker at Syd Fest for one of
those fans. Kinda glad I did now. It is the only thing keeping me cool. It has got a creepy message telling from one of the big four banks. "We Live In Your World". It flashes. Makes me think they may be trying to use some sort of subliminal message technique.

My life. Whoa. Ka.Raz.E. Hanging out my clothes and then BAM a gigantic spider flails its way down the clothesline to check out why I was messin' with his crib. This is a ghetto arachnid. He was somewhat large and when the outside sensor light went out I may of jumped around like and idiot to get the visuals back on. Tense moment hanging out my smalls. Like I said. It is all go go go.

Hung my jeans out as I do prefer my clothes to be cleaned before I try and wear them again. This is not a photo of any old tatty cuffs in denim material. These are my most fav jeans. Possibly fav item of clothing (to be confirmed). I bought these jeans many a moon ago. Possibly six years ago... maybe. It is like fact central here tonight. I gave them to Sis for a few years where she placed them in her wardrobe where I could summon them as needed. Now there are no pockets (cotton wore out) and a real lack of cuff on the bottom. I have tried to search for a new pair of same make and size... will keep you posted.
Yeah, they are clean - 11/01
Beers! I was confined on the Central Coast for a few years and would regularly have to drive up Pacific Hwy. The
Great Northern Hotel in Chatswood and think "That looks like a damn fine establishment". Went there and it is just that. Much polished wood and there is even a Deer's face above the fireplace. Must go back and tell tall tales from under said Deer.

I am not an alcoholic. I had a cider this arvo. I promise there is no need for intervention. It was only one cider. Met up with BB as she had just returned from an overseas jaunt and much hilarity and catch-up was to be had. Went to
Ancient Briton. A place I thought I had been to before. It is weird. Looks average from the outside but inside is huge... there is a fish tank for a bar! We sat. We chatted. We borrowed a bridal book. I had my first
Bulmers on tap. Good times. Trying to figure out how to take creative photos of pub catch-ups... thoughts?

Quite night. Spent most of the time organising my
junk possessions. I had been making these
paper cranes on and off for some time. Wow May! Finally finished them off and strung them up. All 500 of them. Proud much?? Just a little bit.

I.. ah... err... met up with another friend for a drink. I have not been working that much this week which has enabled me this 'relaxation' time. Short trip into the city to pick up Dr K. Having a drink to celebrate her trip to Costa Rica where she will do all kinds of charitable stuff. Then back to Uni to slug it out in final semester with moi.
We went to Coogee as the day was steamy and looked like it may rain and I'm lazy and find it difficult to go places at times without my car. First stop
Oceans Bar. It was a bit of a drive from the city. Then on to
Coogee Bay Hotel. Now here comes 'The List' portion of this blog....
Selina's - 15/01
Selina's has been on 'The List' as long as any of them have been. I will explain at a later time how The List came about. Selina's entered The List through a novel I read and may of (major claim) altered my life. The book is called Max and Murray. Sis bought it years ago on a trip to Sydney and I took it off her and then an old friend borrowed it off me and never returned it. I found the novel on
Twitter. May be your best bet. Took me months to find a hard copy. Even then I only found it at
Mogo on the south coast.
