My wife and I attended her work's belated-Christmas-2011 dinner last night (28 January 2012), held at the Lady Daly Hotel. I've not been there in over 12 years, back when the family of an old friend owned the place. So it was interesting to see how much the hotel has changed since. And it has,... Continue Reading →
Exceeding the Possibilities
This mornings train ride was most interesting and enlightening. Particularly as I was reading Jack Welch's book on leadership. But moreso because of the phone conversation I heard behind me.

Morning Photography
Not much to say tonight, so will show off my photographs from this morning's walk up into Blackwood. I have visited this location before, but that was with my old Canon 400D and some old stock lens.

Surely How Kahlua Decided the Flavours
For our late-evening dessert tonight (10.December.2011), I mixed ice-cream with alcohol, and made sure it was the good stuff! Recipe: 2 x Bowls. My wife prefers to use tea-spoons.
