Well, as my previous post mentioned, I was having my third sick day EVER on Wednesday. It is now Friday and I am still home, but starting to feel a little more human. Glands still swollen (diagnosis of Pharyngitis) but much reduced by late morning today. Still feverish but not like the last few days. …
My third ever sick day
Yesterday was my second ever, so two in a row is my personal best. Swollen glands suck big time. Going to doctor later today.
Fruits of the world!
Normal and flat peaches Originally uploaded by lou_roo Hey there everyone, I thought I'd share this picture of some heirloom peaches grown locally. They were rather delicious. I first saw them in China with Andrew in 2007 and when we asked a local to translate the name the vendor told us, the local said "flat…

Vulgargrad at Womadelaide, 9 March 2010 Originally uploaded by lou_roo This band had us all up dancing like a lot of drunken gypsy thieves. The setting was idyllic, the red sun was sinking behind the stage which itself was framed by the huge Moreton Bay fig trees in Botanic Park. This is my favourite stage…
A kitchen reno picture

Furry friend
Jose on couch Originally uploaded by lou_roo I love my cats and the leather couch is great because it doesn't collect cat hair. So leave it to the cheeky buggers to wait for the moment I leave my favourite blanket unattended to discreetly slide across and claim a spot. Ah, the joys of our furry…
Musings on ageing and death
