Aussie plants make great art.

Today I visited a great art exhibition called “Under the Sun” at the Mount Tomah Botanical Gardens. The art was by Joseph Saad and Scott Cardamatis and was made primarily by sticking seed pods to a piece of wood. As simple as this seems, the results are stunning. Check out the photos I took of [...]

Public Service Gold

There are times when you wonder why you work for the public service and then there are times when you say “Yes, this is what it is all about, this is democracy in action.”
Such a time happened the other day when this email arrived on my desk. It had gone from the Premier to the [...]

The end of Movember

Well, Movember is almost finished for another year and to date I have raised $635 for the mens health charities Beyond Blue and The Australian Prostate Foundation.

Thanks to all those who donated, it is very much appreicated.

For those who haven’t, you can still donate at http://au.movember.com/mospace/138571/

My friends will be seeing less of me now

My friends will definitely be seeing less of me now than they did 11 weeks ago. I started on a fitness regime and in that time I have lost 10.1kg.

My waist has dropped from 99cm to 87cm  (2 pant sizes) and my body fat has dropped from 34.1% to 25.7%

I’m feeling fitter stronger and don’t [...]

Five Days to go in Movember

Only five days to go before my Movember look is gone (for at least another year).

My donations are currently sitting at $455 and it would be nice to break the $500 mark and do better than last year.

Donations can still be made at http://au.movember.com/mospace/138571/

Movember Day 20

The hair is starting to edge over my top lip and get in the way of my food. I could start to trim it, but for the sake of a few more days I am going to let it grow.

My donations are currently sitting at $405 and it would be nice to break the $500 [...]

Eyewitness to CBD Fire

It’s not too often you are on the spot when news happens, but it happened today.

I was standing in Liverpool Street waiting for a bus when what looked like brown dust started spewing up of a grate in the roadway. There was a low rumbling  sound then the brown dust started coming out of another [...]

My mother is now famous.

My mother now has a lookout named after her. Some years ago I placed a memorial plaque to my mother at a beautiful place on the Newnes Plateau. The lookout there has now been named after her. It is in a proposed extension to the Gardens of Stone National Park.

The photo and blurb about the [...]

Ashes to Ashes, cremating a musical instrument.

Musical instruments bring such joy to so many and so when one dies it seems fitting to see it off with some ceremony. When humans die they are either buried or cremated and the same should happen with musical instruments.

When the piano at the farm died, it was going to be a hassle to get [...]

Stone the crows!

This email was recently sent around at work by the CEO.

Rubber snakes on Level 16
Large black birds (apparently either crows or currawongs) have been taking the white decorative pebbles from the garden beds on Level 16 and dropping them over the edge of the building, trying to break them open.

Brookfield Multiplex Facilities Management have [...]
