Its widely known of my dislike for vegetables, and I have now come to eat a few more recently, but there are still so many that I have a strong distain for... But here is a pic of the vege patch from a couple of years back showing some wonderful tomatoes growing...

This cute little dusty pink Callistemon lives in the back yard. It such a sweet looking colour, and in many ways, better than the red ones that are so common...

Here we go, back to Bali, but this time, its in Nusa Dua Markets... The aim of the game here was to find a bargain, board shorts, tee-shirts and the like, and I found many. But I think the overall bargain of the trip was finding 'Bali Benny' who made you leather shoes and sandles in 24 hours! L got two pairs whilst I only got the one, but we found a bargain let me tell you!!!

Nestled away in Hobart, and at the end of Kelly Street, historic Kelly’s Steps connect Salamanca Place to Battery Point. They were built in 1839 by Captain James Kelly, an adventurer who made a comfortable living from sealing and whaling. Kelly’s good fortune was short-lived, however, and by 1842 he was bankrupt and destitute following the death of his wife and seven of his children. After a run-in with the law over another man’s wife, he died at age 67...

Why at 40,000 ft of course, where else?? This series of photos is from EK001 - Dubai to London in Business; QF21 - Sydney to Tokyo Narita in Economy, and finally EK418, which is between Sydney and Auckland in Economy. It is a good representation on the differences between Qantas and Emirates Economy breakfast, but the Emirates business was a light breakfast, and the lunch that was served later in the flight was far more exquisite and plentiful!!

Another from the series in Santiago, Chile... The Wednesday of the conference, we went to the top of the Andes, and here I am up the top of the 'Andes Express', which is the second highest peak in the Valle Nevado ski park at 3,485m!!!

I couldn't find anything as a 'younger you' in my flickr account, but I went back and found this little gem. It was when we went to Aalborg in Denmark. It was a Conference L went to and I was there in the 'Partners Program'. We went on a nature excursion, and what you are seeing is a water spring in the bogs up in the northern Jutland area, not far from Aalborg itself.

Well, I'm not going to show you inside my wallet (it is way to full of tax receipts and the wallet itself is about to fall apart) so this is something that is STILL inside my wallet, even though I went to China in August last year!!!

Back in 2009, I went to Santiago Chile for a Conference, and as part of the Conference, we went to Valle Nevado up in the Andes. Lunch, which was served inside but we could take it outside, was devine, but I was more impressed in the surrounding views as opposed to the food. Would you agree?

I had a little difficulty in deciding what to do for this one... I could've done Bronty as a puppy, and even then, she wasn't that 'tiny'... So I went in search of what was in my flickr account, and I got zero hits for 'Tiny'! Hmmm, I puzzled for a little bit, and then I thought, 'what about one of my macro shots' and this is what I got in return. It is a Crocus which is in the back garden, and its tiny stamens are of bright yellow.

With her unconditional love, it would be a hands down to Bronty... Not that other people DON'T make me happy, because they truely do and there's way to many to name individually, but Bronty just has that 'special' kinda happiness... Even though at times, she can be a complete and utter cow, she still remains close...

It was a long time ago, June 15th 2010 actually, when I achieved Gold Status with Emirates. I had used the airline extensively for a period, and I will go back to flying with them, but for now at least, I'm simply price driven and the best fare on the day wins...

I Often get asked as to whats my favourite colour... And, it has nothing to do with my chosen working field, but as a greenkeeper and Turf Researcher, I would have to say of course it is green!
Why is that I hear you ask?? Well, to me, its such a pleasing colour, its not 'harsh' as some of the reds, oranges and yellows, its not as 'cold' as some of the blues around either. Yet green, seems relaxing, cool and simply pleasant... And, in this photo of the fierce and mean Jasmine, aren't you becoming relaxed seeing the green background of my lawn? I am...

This one, is not in the true spirit of the title in that it is not my reflection... AND NO, it is NOT an April Fools either! But in so many ways, it could be... you see, next to my friend DW, is in fact another Bernie Proctor - thus my (aged) reflection perhaps?? It is sad though the the late Bernie Proctor is now gone, and that I only knew him for a very short period, but he was very much the gentleman...

There was no denying it, L loved her crafty toys... All manner of toys were sought after from local 'crafters to international crafters, there was at times, no stopping her!
Here are some samples of the crafty toys we collected along the way...

OH&S in Australia is pretty strict, steel capped boots, high vis shirts/vests and so on... So when in Ubud, Bali, you can imagine my horror in seeing the following on a construction site!!!
