Ze Adelaide Weekend

The Adelaide weekend is over - and the debaucherous evidence is available on my photostream.

It was also the anniversary of the Yogya quake on Sunday. I was awake at the exact anniversary - approx 5.54 am. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. :-(

A Comment on Simple Pleasures

In the last two days I have had two experiences which have given me cause for great delight.

One - walking down to the pub for Monday night drinks, watching the sun set behind moody clouds and between two buildings while listening to the bells from the Adelaide Town Hall ring for no apparent reason at 6.17pm.

Two - eating a gigantic juicy field tomato this afternoon while perched in front of my computer reading Crikey in lieu of a lunchbreak.

Aaaaah yes, the simple things in life are often the best.

I know, I'm a loser.
"To be a citizen does not mean merely to live in society, but to transform it. If I transform the clay into a statue I become a Sculptor; if I transform the stones into a house I become an architect; if I transform our society into something better for us all, I become a citizen" Augusto Boal
