Since 2002, I’ve been writing here about life, the universe, and everything. My interests include genealogy, history, and the arts. More recently, since July 2023 I’ve been writing about my experiences as a below-the-right-knee amputee.
Lately, I’ve been contemplating the significance of the deadlines we set in our lives. Throughout my adult working years, I’ve become adept at meeting deadlines, whether they were monthly, weekly, daily, or even minute by minute. I’ve developed an innate sense of timing that has served me well in my professional life. I can accurately gauge five minutes within a second or two, and I can effortlessly estimate the time without looking at my watch….
I’ve just arrived home from a terrific night out with my friend Colin. The night started off at the Roslyn Oxley 9 Gallery in Paddington where there’s a new exhibition by Callum Morton. The art collectors group of which I’m a member has a piece by him, and so I was keen to see what he is currently working on. It was a minimalist exhibition, to be sure, with only half a dozen works.

I’ve been thinking lately about the songs that I’ve LOVED dancing to in my life. Some of them have been obvious dance tracks, while others have been not. Here’s a sample of the songs from my life which have got me on the dance floor… Skatt Bros – Life At The Outpost Dead or Alive – You Spin Me Round Paul Lekakis – Boom Boom (Lets Go Back To My Room Technotronic – Pump Up…
I don’t know why, but I was really tired most of the day. Well actually I do know why. It’s because I had a visitor for the weekend. And while I would normally spend some of the weekend resting up, this weekend it was all go, go, go… It’s not a good look, is it, when you find yourself yawning in the lift at work first thing on a Monday morning.
