We have booked an apartment for a week in the Palermo barrio of BA. So much less expensive than a hotel. Airplane tickets paid for, just travel insurance now...stay tuned.
Call yourself a blogger?
Well, I have not typed a word here for many months, so what is going on? Well, I think work is getting in the way of life. Common problem I know... However, recently I have had the opportunity to go away and spend some time away from the 'documentation factory'. Because I spend 8+ hours…

The sadness of the final tomato harvest
Last week we finished picking the last of the yellow cherry tomatoes. It is officially Autumn in Australia. There is an overwhelming beauty to the home-grown tomato.

Russell’s Pizza, Willunga, South Australia
Finally...we got a booking at Russell's. This rustic old cottage and converted shed on the Fleurieu peninsula of South Australia is the hottest place to be on a Friday evening, year-round. We were seated inside the old cottage at a wicker lounge area and ate antipasti followed by pizzas cooked in Russell's hand-built brick ovens.…

Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future...Steve Miller Well, what has happened to my Blog time. Having visitors makes it even more difficult to dedicate the time required, especially when I am working full time. I don't know how people with kids get anything done.
