Greetings from sunny Kefalonia! This holiday lark isn't half fun! Must do this again some time. Don't know what to say first?! We've mainly spent the time chillin out on the beach and availing ourselves of the fantastic array of seafood served in the tavernas, however yesterday we went on a bus tour around the…
So it turned out the “blogging every day in September” thing was kinda doomed from the beginning – it's always the way, isn't it? You've either got stuff to write about, or time to write about it, but never both. As it turns out I'll have plenty of time to write over the next week…

So fellow Aussie…
There's me gearing up to write a nice cathartic blog rant about the MetroNet strike and what a pain in the arse it is, and before I've got ample opportunity to vent it, they've gone and called the strike off.
Last night I'm out having a nice chinese dinner in Chinatown (don't even get me started on this – they must have different menus for regulars, and for people who obviously look like chumps, because extremely rare is the occasion when I can profess to having had a good meal in Chinatown), and my phone…
