Secession Session
Today I'd like to take the opportunity to congratulate His Royal Highness Prince Leonard I of the Principality of Hutt River on the fortieth anniversary of Hutt River's "secession" from Australia ( Read more... ) -
Things to get excited about
I'm taking advantage of next weekend being the ANZAC Day long weekend to go and see Sam in Adelaide, woo! My second ever trip to the eastern states in the eight and a half years I've lived here, if you can include SA as eastern. My friend Richard, the one I met in India, gave Perth his tick of approval as being better than Adelaide (in your face, ( Read more... ) -
Not in my house!
Outrage as Scrabble throws out the rule book and lets kids play with proper nouns | News.com.auI am going to pretend this rule change never happened. It's a bit of a travesty, and removes part of the challenge of the game, but people often have house rules that relax or restrict official game rules anyway; I'll just have to be the humourless ( Read more... ) -
Perthpocalypse
I feel obliged to write about Monday's storm. I know I'm late to the party, but my electricity was off for 18 hours and I've only just really had time to put fingers to keys ( Read more... ) -
What have I done? Or, Woohoo!
I, er, just booked flights to England. I'm going 4 October and coming back 20 December. That's nearly two and a half months! I must be mad. It'll be freezing. But it'll also be the lead up to Christmas... Which will be amazing. The plan is to hit up Europe as well of course ( Read more... ) -

Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh
Two weeks after arriving home, I've finally bothered to organise and upload my photos and actually write something about my trip!
( I went to India and here's the evidence of a good time ) -
Triumphant return
Oh hi, I'm back. I arrived home on Monday night after three brilliant weeks and one godawful day in India (on the last day my brother and I had epic food poisoning and spent the day puking. Best way to end a trip, hm?). Refusing to allow one dodgy meal to ruin my trip, I can safely say it was a fantastic experience. I met some really great people ( Read more... ) -
It's a small world, after all
The most awesome thing happened last night. I met a friend of a friend, in South Perth, Western Australia, who comes from the same small English town (population 6,500) as me. We went to the same primary school (at different times; he's older than me) and knew some of the same people (e.g. our postman) and everything. When he said he was from ( Read more... )
