Inspired by Andrew Sayer of Kensington Victoria fame, I have decided on my new year’s resolution. Actually this year is going to be awesome- 1080p- total progressive high definition.
And how?
Well I am going to keep ip the gym thing. I am going to make sure I go at least 3 times a week. The aim [...]

Here is my reflection on the year that is fast disappearing… Some may recognise it from a different place 12 months ago… I am not sure where it came from, I suspect an email 2 years ago.

One of the email lists that I have been a member of for almost 11 years, had a post today asking what we are thankful for. A lovely topic and one that may be prompted by a holdiay in one part of the world, but doesn’t have to mean that others can’t stop and think [...]

I have lived in Cairns for nearly 6 years. How time flies when one is, er not watching a pot or something.
Early on I learnt about the Cairns-Townsville rivalry. Each city seems to think that it is the capital of the Far North. Townsville used to always have the spot on the Australian Weather map, [...]
