On being upside down

While my northern hemisphere family and friends embrace autumn in all it's squishy fallen leafy glory, we southern hemisphere dwellers get ready for summer. Spring sprung about 2 months back, and the winter was pretty damn gorgeous, full of dazzlingly bright mornings but none of that frost crap and grey drizzle I'd have to deal with in the UK. I have high expectations of this summer. I want barbequed meats, cold beers and beach times. I want to wear a bikini and go to pool parties. This is the dream kids. Oh and music festivals without the threat of wading through six inches of slippy mud and standing in a pack-a-mac (try explaining the concept of a pack-a-mac to an aussie - its a crappy thin waterproof coat fundamentally required at festivals along with wellies) nursing an overpriced beer in the rain just to see a band. Yeah I still love it here. Sydney, you bitch, you stole my heart.

What I've been up to lately

Long time no blog. I've been writing a lot with work so I get a bit disenchanted about typing anything in the evening that's greater than a text message (and even then I end up just phoning. All hail the iPhone).

So, it was my birthday, my parents were visiting Sydney and so I had lots of parent interaction time. I did the tourist things I hadn't done previously / couldn't really afford, like walking over the top of the Harbour Bridge and going to Taronga Zoo.



I got an article published on my research...
