For the entire day yesterday, I was anxious. Anxious for the results of the election. Anxious that the Australian people would vote the National Liberal Party in again and I was unable to face another three years of ultra conservative, right wing, Murdoch backed, corrupt politicians. I watched the entire election coverage watching for the […]
Working on Community
Today I focussed on creating a facilitated session on Building Community at my place of work, Rapid Circle. I work for this international company filled with highly competent and technical boffins who love solving problems and working on Microsoft 365 products. To be honest, a lot of what they talk about flies over my head […]
Weird Client Story No.1
Many years ago, I had a client who was off his face on drugs. Initially I had no idea that he was affected as he just seemed out of it. There was a lot of weirdness about him. I’d end up waiting for him to rock up to appointments made; he’d forget or he’d call […]
Grim Melbourne
Today I worked in the city. It’s the time of the year where it gets dark early. There are dead leaves on wet and oily city streets underfoot and you need to be careful where you step so you don’t slip. People are rushing to get to work or to get home. All in the […]
Princess Mary of Denmark
I watched this documentary today celebrating Princess Mary’s 50th birthday. Everyone loves Mary. I remember the whole media story when her romance with Frederick became public after the Sydney Olympic Games (that’s where they met). At the time, it was recounted as the “perfect love story” and given that in my younger years, I had […]
Call of The Gums
About a week ago, I visited a second hand store to browse some clothes and hopefully pick me up a bargain. I love second hand shops because you can spend hours in there having a bit of a look-see and you never know what you could find. Usually I walk away with more books than […]
I Love Hats
I have a head for hats. If someone asked me to name one positive think about my body, it would be my head for hats. That’s about it really. Everything else is pretty much take it or leave it. Okay. Maybe my straight nose, my eyes (albeit myopic) and, umm…nah, that’s about it. That’s a […]
Election Time
It’s election month in Australia and it’s a crazy time. On my name day, 21st May, Australia goes to the vote to determine the new political party that will govern us. I don’t take this responsibility lightly. I’ve always been someone who valued that we can vote in relative peace and that we can have […]
Living Overseas Is Now an Option
Yesterday after six months of going back and forth with Greece, we finally organised to have the paperwork submitted to the Greek National Land Registry Office. The Greek government has recently urged people who have any land to register it formally through the Cadastre. If you don’t do this, the government will seize the land. […]
A Curiosity Journey
Yesterday Orgdimension on Twitter sent this fantastic short film clip. Watch it and test your awareness of what’s happening on the screen then determine how much you pick up what’s going on. When I first saw the clip, I was amazed they did everything in one take. (That was the first thing I noticed because […]
