I'm not above stealing cool lyrics from bands like Coldplay to create a sense of profundity. But then again one person's profound is another person's LAME. Irrespective the above is true for my life's intentions. I never want to stop learning, stop travelling or aspiring to travel, never want to stop keeping an open mind, …

This very special game.
Taken with my HTC Sensation - Miss Pipistrelle in the backyard in Derby. In bed on a Thursday morning contemplating about this very special game we get to play with our dogs and what amazing opportunities it has brought me. Here I am halfway around the world from home, having made some new friends, new …
Florence…not the one with the Machine.
Although I'd love to do that. See Florence and the Machine in Florence. That would have been poetic. But Florence the city is really quite impressive by itself. I went because enough friends and more importantly enough Italian friends or friends with Italian connections (no not THOSE kinds of connections - it's not The Sopranos …
Pompei…my way.
I have a thing for simple rhyme. So things like the title of this post are going to be par for the course of this blog. I am somewhat late in posting here. But to be honest I have literally not had like four hours in one spot in order to sit down and catch …
That time I climbed a mountain.
I've decided to try and get my posts done in the short but multiple format. So in that vein here is my Mt Vesuvius post/entry. To be followed up by a Pompei post. If I get time before the Con starts. I flicked a setting on my Nikon 5100 that does it best to stabilise …
Trastevere or bust.
Following on from my last post and finishing off Sunday Nanette and I figured out that we covered around 20.7 kilometers by the end of the day or in Net's terms 12 miles! Here's a little pic of the first leg we did - around 7kms. Stage 2 was returning back to the Colosseum, then …
Roaming the streets of Rome…whimsy was never my forte.

Rome here I come!
So on Tuesday this is where I'll be. *blinks* Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. It's all a little surreal really. Going from such a young place (ie Australian European settlements) to such an old place (I believe Rome turns 2765 years old this year!) and I think it's going to be quite an amazing experience.I am …
Fat is not a Feminist Issue
I'm not sure how this post will go down with anyone that bothers to read this blog. But then I figure this blog is for me so really my care factor about offending anyone (especially on the internet) is virtually zero. I think I need to make sure though that I clarify my heading carefully. …
Insomnia is dumb
With such a profound title this post is destined for greatness clearly. It is April and I am feeling pretty groovy on the days where insomnia has not struck. I think insomnia sets out to make us WANT to fight it. So we lie there, in our beds, snuggled under the covers, wearing cosy pyjamas …
