Books

Reading. Now I'm living the life of a single man again I have started to do more reading and I have to say I am really enjoying it. There's nothing quite like settling down to read for a few hours on end in a book you just know you are going to enjoy. What a pleasure for the senses. It engages the whole spectrum of human emotions and triggers thoughts that you would not have had otherwise. I've just put up a few book shelves and there is extra capacity, enabling me to buy some more volumes. Hooray!

Sports overkill

As if there wasn't enough sports on Aussie television we will have a 24-hour free-to-air sports channel tomorrow. All the sports you can stomach and then some more. And just when you get enough of all the sports, you get some more sports. Oh well..as long as they include some proper football, I don't mind.

Beauty schools in Michigan

Of course, it is evident that education is an important issue these days and for young people looking for a college or other type of training it is not always easy to find the right path that is suitable for their situation. There are all sorts of people and not every kind of training or schooling will be the right choice. Of course, there is a multitude of schools and colleges to choose from and that in itself, that huge choice of options, is not always a great help.

I want to let you know about these michigan cosmetology schools that I have heard about. They are Regency beauty schools and they just happen to be the fastest growing beauty school in the land. They have expanded from a mere two Minnesota schools in 2002 to nearly thirty campuses in a number of states and it looks like they will keep growing in the future, that much seems certain.

Poem to a friend

I sent a poem I had written to a friend in the UK. The poem was about my feelings about Bristol and leaving that part of my life behind. It's emotional and whimsical and aims to evoke the 'feel' of Bristol, that funny old town in England. I got some good feedback from her and that means something to me as she is quite a culture-vulture as the French say..

Funny stuff

There are lots of British comedians who appear here in Australia. Before long I am hoping to catch a few of them doing their stand-up. I had meant to see Dylan Moran but I have other engagements that weekend, unfortunately. There is still Ross Noble in June and I am hoping to get someone to go with me. I have seen Mr Noble in Bristol and he was very, very good. Utterly entertaining in his off-beat way.

Music

I've got all my CDs again after the delivery of my things from England earlier this week. It's great to be able to play my own music again. I have to use the DVD player and telly but will get a sound system soon enough. I played Secrets of the Beehive by David Sylvian this morning and really enjoyed it all over again. Lovely music on a lovely morning; that's what it was..

Salted

Tears stain short-lived joy
Curtains drawn reveal a void
Show must roll on, ineffably
Worlds and words escape
Only momentarily
Dreams re-invent themselves
Before they take their leave
Forever.

Beeb wireless

I’m just now listening to the radio. I’m listening to BBC’s Radio Five Live on the internet. I used to enjoy listening to this station when I lived in England. Somehow, the station seemed more balanced and less politically correct than some other BBC programmes. And, there was always something to laugh about as well. The British sense of humour, you can’t beat it, really.

Sharky

There have been quite a few shark attack reports in the news recently. Surprisingly, a lot of these shark attacks have taken place in the harbour, which apparently is rather unusual. It seems that the reason why there are more sharks around is that the waters in the harbour are much cleaner. So there are now more fish and that in turn attracts more sharks. I’m staying on terra firma for a while.

Precious metals

Most people have, at some stage or other, dreamed of what it would be like to be truly wealthy. One of the images that denote real luxury and riches has to be the sight of those amazing gold items that are so impressive to just look at such as jewellery and art objects. With american silver eagle you can invest in gold bars, gold bullion, coins, silver, platinum and palladium and other products. And, as everyone well knows, investing in gold is generally one of the safest options that will keep their worth in years to come. You can’t really go wrong with gold, that goes without saying.

Generally, it is always a good idea to keep your self informed of the current gold price. Purchasing gold has been recognized for ages and ages as one of the most reliable ways to preserve one’s wealth and buying power. And of course gold bullion is a unique investment. From time immemorial to more recent times, humankind has had an enduring affinity with gold bullion that has truly stood the test of time. In all ages and across the world, people have been fascinated with the beauty and the magic of gold. It makes sense, after all.

Big ships

I missed the Queen Mary II docking in Sydney Harbour. Only days previously I had marvelled with a sense of awe at the sight of the enormous Queen Victoria ocean liner lying tied up at Circular Quay. What a great ship. The sheer size is so impressive. I’ve always liked travelling by ship. It’s just so elegant to glide your way to where you want to go..

The working week

The working week is, once again, over and done with. An exciting week at my new job, I will spare you the details but it has been good and uplifting. I have discovered that a challenge can, after all, be a very good thing all things considered. Of course, once I had knocked off it was straight down to the pub for a schooner. Can you blame me?

Wedding shop

Let’s be honest: who doesn’t get a bit soft at the thought of tying the knot. Is there anything more evocative or romantic that those few words? I don’t think so. I know that I for one really enjoyed my wedding day and that is a man saying this. The day was a wonderful one and I felt really really in love and over the moon at the prospect of spending my married life with just this very girl who meant the world to me.

If you happen to be looking for wedding gifts or bridesmaid gifts then you should definitely check out The Knot Wedding Shop where you will find everything you need and more besides. Have a look for your self!

Funny is funny

Funny stuff is funny stuff. I like the Aussie sense of humour. It is witty and at the same time very robust and down to earth. It has that cheekiness I like in British humour but has added a few direct punches for good measure. Some of the Aussie telly adverts are really funny. Good stuff!

Sport mad

Sport mad. The Aussies seem to be crazy about sports. Any sport, it seems. During the week it is not so bad but sometimes on the weekend all you see on each and every channel on telly is sport. Golf, cricket, rugby, tennis, indoor netball for crying out loud. I suppose it’s just a case of that’s the way it is. Ah well. I think I’ll find a good book to read.

New York restaurant info

I like living in a big city. I love having the amenities on my door step and always being able to do something fun or to go somewhere fun for a night out or some other type of relaxation. Of course, you need to get the right information on where to trip the light fantastic or where to go for that great spectacular meal out with a loved one.

The Village Voice is a great read with insightful articles on any aspect of New York life but there is more. If you are looking for a great New York Restaurants check out the restaurant section of the Village Voice.

Peter Pan

Peter Pan, that whimsical poetic figure in Kensington Gardens. I had a look around the fabulous statue in the park shortly before I left England. It was a special moment and one that I shan't forget. Ever. It was a magical sort of thing, not easily explained. The picture will have to suffice.

Great glasses
