Where's Billo?: Some things are good in Spring
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2007/06/some-things-are-good-in-spring.html
Tuesday, June 05, 2007. Some things are good in Spring. I've felt more and more like an expat over the last couple of weeks - perhaps being indoors watching so much TV in English, perhaps cos I've finally found AFL highlights every weekend on cable, perhaps cos of Sundays on the beach in a bar sponsored by "Australia's Favourite Beer":.

Where's Billo?: Any given Sunday
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2007/06/any-given-sunday.html
Monday, June 11, 2007. When Im not on the beach Im usually under a sun umbrella in a Praca somewhere, struggling to get the waiters attention so I can get another beer or be fed, watching people over a beer glass or reading a book when I remember to bring one (staring into space for an entire afternoon gets a little boring and freaks the other customers!

Where's Billo?: dreaming
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2007/12/dreaming.html
Friday, December 28, 2007. The images/memories reading it evoked prepared me for Perth and the sights, smells and sounds which are all around me as I type - the smell of bitumen warmed by summer sun, the easterly blowing leaves along an empty street, the feel of hot bricks burning your bare feet, the humid salty smell of the sea breeze as it comes in on a warm summers evening and those long lazy evenings themselves. Instead because my last months in Portugal were taken up with work and much packing (!

Where's Billo?: Romans were here
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2006/10/romans-were-here.html
Saturday, October 07, 2006. You know it from the rows of cypresses. The Mirobriga archaeological site is next to Santiago da Cacem. There is a large and impressive buiding here which contains conference rooms, brochures for sale and no other information on the site whatsoever. Despite half a dozen kids walking out of there with a sheet of A4 paper I was told they only had 5euro brochures for sale. Hmmm. You are forced to enter this building before you enter the site (why? Where the river meets the sea.

Where's Billo?: Doing it cool for the East side
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2007/09/doing-it-cool-for-east-side.html
Wednesday, September 05, 2007. Doing it cool for the East side. Slogan on mural, East Side Gallery). Here you get to feel what a barrier the wall was, how it separated friends and family but also get a truer sense of what it's fall meant to people on both sides. For me the biggest plus is that you get to do this quietly, in your own time with your own thoughts although I suspect commercialism is getting closer. This is my favourite:.

Where's Billo?: For what its worth
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2007/05/for-what-its-worth.html
Friday, May 25, 2007. For what its worth. The two grains in the bottom RH corner are about the size of a matchhead so not the most impressive nugget/gold grain ever panned. But still - its there. ETA - I should point out fine gold is a good thing as any sampling will then be are more representative of the orebody. The assay for this sample was 77g/t which shows how tiny what we're chasing really is (3g/t is economic, over 10g/t is excellent). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). For what its worth.

Where's Billo?: Wanted: 1, 2, 9, 10 and 15
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2007/05/wanted-1-2-9-10-and-15.html
Thursday, May 10, 2007. Wanted: 1, 2, 9, 10 and 15. So if there are any front rowers out there, a pair of halves to replace those out with injury or a full-back "who can really defend, tackle hard" and you're willing to move to Montemor then you've got a game. You just need a job, a house and a language course. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). For what its worth. Wanted: 1, 2, 9, 10 and 15. This is a Flickr badge showing public photos from billo100.

Where's Billo?: Thay it with a lithp
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2007/11/thay-it-with-lithp.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2007. Thay it with a lithp. But when it gets going hell yeah it's a good time! Everyone is friendly and helpful when you're eating tapas and drinking, on each night half a dozen bars in and around the centre hugged us to their bosom and were only too happy to throw plates of whatever Ryan told me to order at us as well as a couple of beers and a few glasses of red. For example:. If you want to visit Seville the best source of info is this encyclopedic site. Thay it with a lithp.

Where's Billo?: Prague
http://billosdiary.blogspot.com/2007/08/prague.html
Thursday, August 16, 2007. Luckily the beer is still good! Part of this might be that the Czechs seem to try too hard – Don Giovanni is performed EVERY night during August in the Opera House. The reason? It was first performed here in 1787. Nice piece of trivia but why go overboard and stage the opera just in case a tourist wants to relive the moment? The entire Old Town is picture postcard so I’m just going to let the photos speak for themselves…. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dont mention ze war.
