Latest Trip Photos, India and Malaysia 2012 Hi all, Here is where you will find some of our photos from our recent trip to India and our stopover in Malaysia. And I blogged about it here: https://ahindia.wordpress.com Cheers, Lou & Roo

Back from India and Malaysia

Hello Peeps!  Roo and I got back from overseas about a week ago.  We thoroughly enjoyed or time in India and our 6 day stopover in Malaysia.  I blogged along the way and, since we got home, have done some final posts regarding the food in both countries. If you didn't follow the blog along…

But wait, there’s more…(books on my night-stand)

Two more books to add to the night-stand reading list. I was waiting for Tim Winton's Breath to come out in paperback and Roo has now bought it for me.  The shop assistant could not find the last copy in stock so Roo left  thinking he'd find it at another bookshop. The assistant found it…

Annual year-end review of books on the night stand

Another year is nearly over and the rotating door for books that is my night stand is sporting a lovely and mostly new crop.  A few of them are travel guides recently borrowed from the library and some of them were on the night stand last year, but are at least started. Some from last…

China Revisited has been updated

Due to the restriction of WordPress in China, I did not get a chance to update my site until my return to Australia. I have published pictures on flickr and used each city's photo group on flickr to create a post on my China Revisited site. I hope you enjoy... China Revisited

I’ve just started a blog to get organised for our trip to China

Just a 16 day trip to Shanghai, Nanjing and Beijing. On a previous trip in 2007 we visited Shanghai and Beijing briefly.  Now we're going back to experience a bit more. Visit my China Revisited Blog and subscribe if you want updates from the road.

Geez 2011 – you have some catching up to do

Other than a photo on my bike ride home, I haven't posted a blog since the first of the year. Oh dear, what's going on? Last year I was quite prolific, at least for me... It's not that nothing is happening this year; maybe I am just adjusting to being back in Australia and back…

That was the year that was – 2010

How lucky am I that last year, 2010, was one of mostly 'highs' for me.  Even some of the lows brought unexpected moments of bitter-sweet melancholy. And that's a good thing in my book.  The idea that we must always be happy is such a western concept. Times of sober pensiveness are important aspects of…

My 2010 reading list

I have a friend who set herself a goal of 100 books in one year.  I don't even try to read that many, and never manage to finish everything that I start. Some are meant to be dipped into and not read cover to cover, like the BKS Iyengar classic, An Illustrated Light on Yoga. …

Life at the documentation factory and other December observations

I am currently easing back into work after nearly 3 months off (refer http://tenweeksinitaly.wordpress.com/) with a few odd jobs. Some of my work mates will be going on well-earned leave for up to 4 weeks and I'll be odd jobbing and helping out around the department. This week I have been updating our policies (one…
