First, don’t go and see The New World. I think Terence Malick is pretty amazing as a director, and does shoot this movie incredibly well in terms of cinematography- it’s very poetic. However there is no excuse for putting out a movie of such incredible tedium, it’s totally over-indulgent and would have been fine if…

I actually took some short video clips before I left, a month ago, and today as a real reminder of some of the key stages in my trip these past 8 months. So below we have todays wrap up, but there’s the 7 month clip, and the pre trip clip. Apologies for my formal video…

Hmm, just occurred to me that soon this blog is going to sleep – I like to think I’m not such a geek that I’d carry on blogging at home! Photos yes, bla bla no. Unless I make a separate one. Who knows. So anyway, there might still be time for one or two more…

Okay peeps, just like my decision to take off down under came outta almost nowhere, I can announce that I am heading back to blighty next month! I’ve had a beautiful time here, but in my gut I feel like it’s time to come back even though I haven’t managed to see alot of things…

Finally, I got to see the famous aussie rules football in action! A friend from University, Jamie, was in town and suggested we go catch a Saturday afternoon game with his team Geelong playing the local Bulldogs. The first point about the game is that it is long – each quarter is about half an…

Guitar art Well, it’s been 6 months without my guitar, and now that I have a room again it just felt too weird not to have one around! So coming out the gym I went straight across the road to the local axe shop and tried a few out and got this one. Feels great,…

It’s me turning 32…eeek! Anyway, there it is, woke up and my cat was there to wish me a good day, the chillier weather made me think that I might be back in London, how strange. It’s times like these that make you think about comin back home! Still, I’m sure a few beers will…

Hmm, and I thought that after Sydney I wouldn’t have to deal with screaming kids in the house. Well I was almost right. However as I might be freelancing from home again, I have since discovered that right over the fence from my room window there is a childrens’ day nursery, full of the screaming…

My extreme bungee jump, video quality suffering for ease of download until I can compress it better!!
