Week of 24 June 2024 After a promising start to the week, where I was starting to feel I was getting my sleep under control, I came down with a cold virus (not covid or the flu or RSV or whatever else is going around). This put me out...

Week of 22 April 2024 Walnuts and climate wars As well as walnuts and climate wars, which I’ll get to in a bit, this was an entertaining week. Slabs and I went to see Dawn French is a Huge Twat at Wrest Point and Kramstable went to Melbourne with...

Week of 12 June 2023 (part 1) A busy week(end) This was such a busy weekend I’m splitting it over two posts. Modern times A friend told me about an exhibition at the Handmark Gallery they thought I’d be interested in, so I took some time on Friday to...
