Meandering Mondays VIII
Human innovation is astounding. It was barely 100 years ago when wood and sheets were used in an attempt to mimic the flight of a bird. 50 odd years after that humans were on their…
Ghost
I wish I knew how to be a ghost. A friendly free-blogging platform ghost who converses in markdown to those who care to listen. Unfortunately when someone asks me to configure the unconfigurable by configuring…
Meandering Mondays VII
Happy Monday! Australia is a vast country mainly of deserts and rocks… ULURU This had to be portrayed in colour…for obvious reasons. It’s a sacred place to indigenous Australians but if you’ve ever been you’ll…
Tram No. 2092
From A to B is what I do. I carry hundreds of people and I’m at the mercy of each and every one of them. This makes me very nervous. What helps me stay on…
Meandering Mondays VI
We’re keeping it local for todays Meandering Monday…coming to you directly from my home town of Melbourne, Australia. The most liveable city in the world, bar none. Melbourne A born and bred Melburnian, I must…
Predictability
Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary…
Inspirational
I could not believe my eyes the first time I saw this clip. There is something inspirational about what the human body is capable of…let alone on a bike! Granted this will not be everyone’s…

Pedal pushing
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before on Ask a Toddler but I love bikes. I love to ride them. I love to look at them. I love to tinker with them [i.e. take…
Meandering Mondays II
Welcome to the second instalment of Meandering Mondays. Just as a quick recap every Monday I’ll be sharing an experience with you. A travel experience from somewhere completely random inspired by a photo I’ve taken from…
Meandering Mondays
Every Monday I’ll be sharing an experience with you. A travel experience from somewhere completely random inspired by a photo I’ve taken from that place. You may have already gathered that I like to take…
Catch me if you can
My intention in starting this blog and sharing it with you is pretty simple and straight forward: to produce original content that engages with you and maybe exposes you to something you’ve not seen or…
Building bridges
We’ve all experienced a traumatic event or stuffed up majorly. Sometimes these incidents are a little worse than others but we’re all still here, sanity intact and physically able to [at least] get to Ask…
Pack light, live free
Travelling alone for extended periods of time (in excess of 6 months and not really alone because there are plenty of like minded people around the world) teaches you many many things…but I think one…
The gift of experience
The best gifts and those worth giving are opportunity and experience. Not umbrellas or BBQs or cuff links. I’ve posted previously about special days and how important it is to commemorate and celebrate but to…
