On Buying Books

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a man in possession of a few spare hours and away from home must be in want of a bookshop. (If you're going to plagiarise, steal only from the very best of authors, I say.)

Certainly this has been a universal truth for me, so the universe remained entirely unstartled when Debs and I, in Melbourne for a weekend together, frequented a bookshop or seven today.

Weekend Respite

Whoa! Time to take a breather.

In October I increased my work days to four days a week. At the same time, there was an influx of work so I've been struggling to fit my work into four days. It's funny how working one additional day seems to have completely upset my routine. Throw in some weekend events and it feels like I've been on the go for weeks. The massages Tony and I had yesterday, booked seven weeks ago, could not have been more timely.

We have been out every weekend for the three weeks—very unusual for two homebodies.
