Where I've been

If you are easily enjealoused, look away now.

On Sunday night Snooze and I headed down the south west coast to the lovely and exceptionally green Otways national park.

We camped in a tent next to the car with lots of stuff.


In the morning, it was pretty.


Pete and the Redhead arrived with their Italian friend Federico.

We put all the stuff in novelty oversize packs and started walking.


And walking.


And walking.



It was nice.


Then we had to cross a river.


It was cold.

Then we walked some more.


Then we stopped and had dinner.


And looked at the nice views.


There were dead people.


And koalas.


Then we got up and walked some more.


And walked.

We saw some more koalas (18 to be exact).


And walked.


We gambolled on the beach.


And walked.


Then we got to the end and went here.


And had a roast.

It was delightful.

Now we're back in Melbourne and I have to go back to work. Boo.

The end.

So that's where I've been so you can stop wringing your hands and crying "where oh where has Tom gone!!??" because I'm back now.

Just follow the freakin rules

On Saturday morning, a 77 year old man was killed after being hit by a cyclist on Beach Rd in Mentone. That someone was killed walking in front of a bicycle is not surprising. Pretty much anyone who rides a bike in Melbourne will have had a pedestrian walk in front of them without looking at one time or another. The difference in this case is that this man was killed crossing with the 'green man' at pedestrian lights, by a 'peleton' of 200+ unofficially organised amateur riders that were either unable, or unwilling to break the bunch and stop in time. I can't help but think that bike/car relations in Melbourne are reaching some sort of crisis point. My daily ride to and from work, mainly along bike-friendly back streets, attracts abuse from motorists (and pedestrians) probably once a week on average. People hate bike riders. As a cyclist, the contempt with which I am treated by those in cars and pedestrians is really quite confronting. A short ride is enough

Brokeback Goblet

I'm aware that this isn't particularly ground-breaking, this video has been doing the rounds, but I want to post it here so I can remember it later. If you haven't seen it, it's another one of those 're-cut' movie trailers , this time featuring Harry Potter and the Brokeback music - remarkably effective. And as Virginia says, "the power of a soundtrack". Listen to it through headphones, or on something with good sound and it will make you teary. Very clever.
