Ever get the feeling that despite your years of experience of life on this planet and adjusting to social convention in your home environment, that there's still possibly realms of things you haven't yet discovered or worked out how to deal with ? Like when you're walking along a street and see a big yellow…

Been too busy getting back into the swing of things here to finish writing. Having a few complications with my already errant body clock trying to work out which time zone it's in. Birthday drinks for Emzo the other night at Lush was good – great to see everyone again. Felt like I'd been away…

Back in London. Eyeballs bleeding, stuffy nose, etc. = all good 14 hour flight symptoms. Just ran into the Philips Clan at Heathrow – weird. The first time I've ever seen anyone I knew at Heathrow, and it was people from Adelaide who had come in the same entrance I had (i.e. an aeroplane). Apparently…

Finally, I managed to sleep on a plane ! And typically, the movies they had were ones that I actually wanted to see (read: would have been perfectly happy to see for free). Oh well, that wasn't meant to be. Here I am back in humid & steamy Singapore for the 5th time in 2…

I'll finish listing what I've been up to this week another time, cos I'm a bit short on spare minutes right at this second, however I just wanted to say cheers to everyone who came along to the Wheatie last night for a totally rockin' farewell drinks thingo. As per usual I didn't really get…

Incidentally, if anyone's in the mood and isn't busy Friday night, I'll be heading down to The Wheatsheaf International on Friday night from about 7:30 onwards. It vaguely resembles this dated photo, although I'm not sure it's that shade of green any more. Might be. By the time I normally get there I'm too eager…

Well that's hardly the comprehensive travelogue we were all hoping for – since getting back to Australia I've only managed to write twice, and one of them was about giant squid ?! Best do a lightning summary, cos I'm meant to be meeting someone for lunch in 25 minutes. Sunday I spent mainly down at…

Breaking from the travelogue for a moment, it appears that Japanese scientists have captured the first ever photographs of a living Giant Squid! Kinda creepy, huh ? Apparently though several have washed up on beaches from time to time, the beastie's never been seen alive, and the photos give insight into its hunting methods. Previously…

It is *so* good to be back. Have been a bit flat out to write anything (and believe it or not, I've only checked my email like 4 times since I've been here !!), so I'll try to give a quick synopsis before popping off to bed. Flight from Singapore was “interesting” – got sat…

I just discovered, I can't write much from this phone. Can't upload photos, neither. Probably just as well, really. Singapore, here I come!
