My beautiful city



A picture of my beloved Sydney Harbour, taken on an overcast sort of day. I have come to love this city, the city of my birth and the one that I am slowly rediscovering. As world cities go this one is a stunner, to say the least.

Poetry or prose

I'm currently working on a novel and so far it is going quite well. I still look back fondly to my poetry writing days as well but I want to forge ahead with this big prose project. What I would really like is to develop a prose style that is quite poetical in its tone and feel. Some of my favourite novelists are able to pen a sentence that just flows on in an eminently aesthetic manner. I'll just keep working on it and see if I can develop my 'voice'..

Show

Last night I watched Letterman and he had Howard Stern on. He was quite entertaining and affable and made for a good guest. Certainly better than the previous show when famous airhead Paris Hilton was the main guest. That was just annoying and slightly embarrassing. And yet I gather that some men find her attractive. Quite honestly, she repulses me somewhat.

Pub

Spent a great night down the pub with some good friends of mine. It was someone’s birthday and this someone also introduced her new fellow to us. A nice bloke who seemed to cope well with all the attention lavished on him as the proverbial newcomer. A fun and raucous night followed and a great time was held by all. So there.

Fabulous jewelry

Is there anything in this world of ours that denotes luxury and a sense of well being quite like a stunning piece of jewelry? I doubt it. For ladies it is just a wonderful accessory to be able to add a thing of beauty to their own natural splendour. For we men it is a joy to surprise the woman in our life with a present in the shape of a fabulous necklace or ring or pair of ear rings. That moment when that precious little box is opened and the look of awe and joy on a lady’s face are just invaluable.

Check out the fantastic fashion jewelry of Holsted Jewelers for a great range of superb jewelry.

Sleep

After years of not being able to sleep in any more I am now finding I can quite easily have a bit of a lie-in. My apartment tends to be nice and quiet and a veritable haven of peace and tranquility. I feel okay here and perhaps that, in turn, enables me to really unwind and relax for a change. Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Call me old fashioned.

Poetry, that whimsical

I'm about to give one of my poetry books to a good friend of mine. I hope she'll appreciate it. You can never really tell when you give away one of your own books. Do they really like the gesture or do they think you're up your self and imposing your ramblings on them, abusing their friendship in some way or to some extent. We'll see.

Bus joy

I got back quite late from town last night on the bus and found that in contrast to some other places I have lived in the past, the experience was a safe one and there seemed nothing to worry about in the way of personal security. There were a few people waiting at the bus stop, the bus showed up dead on time, the driver was courteous and friendly and fifteen minutes later I was back home. Great stuff, really.
