Paul and michael gripe and grumble about distance and difficulty . no that's out of date now: "Michael revels in the delights of this life.". Tuesday, March 25, 2008. Going "the legal path". Well i took the latest letter down to John this morning. It's fully legalese. He wasn't so happy. "Oh you're going the legal road are you? But we've always been friendly.". Well until you gave us half the legal requirement for notice to vacate, yeah. I hope things don't get ugly. Posted by michael chalk. So John come...

Public art is more popular in Tasmania than i realised. Here's a whole town that devoted itself to supporting local artists by painting murals on every available surface (Sheffield, slightly East of Cradle Mountain). Image links to larger version). You'll see on the map, that Sheffield is right near a place called Promised Land. World's b...

Paul and michael gripe and grumble about distance and difficulty . no that's out of date now: "Michael revels in the delights of this life.". Wednesday, November 14, 2007. That Cairns Pub Story. When i went dancing in that hotel in Cairns. I really didn't think too much about the consequences. But i did think about how people might perceive me - a fortyish male caucasian on my own. So i tried to be discreet, non-threatening . not stare at anyone. Full story over at DiscoBook, another place .

erudite grumpy: getting used to Brunswick
http://eruditegrumpy.blogspot.com/2008/06/getting-used-to-brunswick.html
Paul and michael gripe and grumble about distance and difficulty . no that's out of date now: "Michael revels in the delights of this life.". Sunday, June 08, 2008. Getting used to Brunswick. I have to say, it's quite an adventure moving across to the other side of the Merri Creek. Time seems to move more slowly now because there's so much newness to absorb. Sparkly Square" is a much more fun than Northcote Plaza. Walking distance to miles and miles of parkland - but i'm walking, not jogging yet;.

Awful tragedy, Tim's mum Thelma has kicked her bucket and shaken off This Mortal Coil. So sure enough, as Tim said, "You are evil if you don't dance" everybody got up to shake their booties. What a great dance, such a good bunch of people the Ratcliffes. Posted by michael chalk. Monday, December 17, 2007. This opens up a whole can of c...

I've been waiting a long time to visit Freycinet. Such is my geographical ignorance, i thought it took up most of the Eastern coast of Tasmania; thankfully i am more knowledgeable now. The trek across the hill to Wineglass Bay is sumptuous and rich. i was so excited i almost ran up the hill, but had to remember the injured ankle. The wal...

So, the final party was a bit wild and messy.

I agree," i replied, "it was awful". Posted by michael chalk. Sam and tim travel.

Nearly there . thanks to angelic friends. Lucky me to have such wonderful friends and colleagues helping me out! Annie the angel comes over and completely re-organises the garage sale, so that it looks like useful things rather than a pile of junk; and then spends all day over here packing boxes for me. What a darling. Lou does such an amazi...
