It's been a quiet few days, walked to Hungary for lunch yesterday, talked to another high school class and warped a few young minds today. The ice flowing under the bridge makes a wonderful sound.

Had been a little melancholy, not quite here, never really there...
then had the salutory experience of googling myself to compile all the references and press about the project for a proposal - 'government funded uber-fairy' was by far my favourite description. Accidentally read the top line of a particularly virulent post in the google listing, finding myself called stupid by tb is quite amusing.
but I won't go there.

still feeling a little exposed and vulnerable after that whole episode, but yes, the money is nice while it lasts. and obsessively writing copious amounts daily is the best revenge, after success.

the main response I've had to my newspaper article is: it's very long.
aha. I wanted to give something back, maybe start a conversation about some of the ideas. but it seems that is not to be.

had a chat with sarah macdonald on her expat segment abc 702 last week. someone chatting to my friend walking her dog in the park said it was the most amusing interview she had ever heard on the program, she listens daily. Sounds like you'e having a great life, she comments. Yeah, it is damn fine, but the main drawback is it gets lonely now and then. Miki from the thermal baths suggested a new direct flight from sydney to sturovo, for all the people who will be coming over to try them out - but as there's no airport you'll have to parachute. I never was one for extreme sports.
