Wanderlust again
Danielle, Pauline and I are considering doing a road trip to Sydney in late February sometime. We know we will be stopping in Byron Bay, Yamba and Terrigal and spending the night in Coffs Harbour on the way. Danielle wants to stay in the hinterland somewhere near Sydney on the way down for one night. [...]
Change of address
I’m writing this sitting on the verandah with the dog at my feet waiting for the predicted afternoon thunderstorm to eventuate.

I won the JetStar Lottery!!!
Today I learnt that persistance pays off. Bright and early at 5.00am I bounded out of bed to start a 3 hr routine of seeing “time out” messages, clicking ok, then clicking go. These were the messages Jetstar and Virgin Blue websites were offering to the 5 million australians trying to book domestic trips. Around [...]
Ask the Leyland Brothers
I wonder if I can ever fill the map?
My profession is tech geek.
My joy is food and travel.
My tech is cult of apple.
