Unspoken codes

Its been a while since I travelled in peak hour. Having my own business I usually arrange meetings at less frenetic times.

Very strange to be at Town Hall station, going against the tide of office workers was a touch intimidating, paritcularly when you don't know where you need to go. Signage is obviously not done by people who have to find their way.

Also, other codes, the practice of an "honour system" to pay for your coffee, where you help youself to your own change.

All that focussed energy on their way to work, all those crowded people on the train - seems like a foreign country!

Another birthday

This time it was a double eightieth for my Uncle John and Aunt Sunny. Next month is their 45th wedding anniversary, so great to be able to celebrate this with family and friends, looking over beautiful Middle Harbour.

Blast from the past

So we meet up with Robert Bryce-Muir from whom we purchased sculptures whilst living in London. Great to catch up with someone from the past and really quite odd, as we didn't know him that well in England, but it seems that having his artwork around has made us friends.

Women in Jazz

So what is the story with women in Jazz? Just attended a great festival in Wangaratta and was surprised by the absence or minimalist state of women performing. I know there are some out there, and they are good, so I wonder why?

Apart from that what a great place to visit and what a nice festival.

My only complaint was the dodgy drunk crowd and the length of the wait for a taxi on the Saturday night. If you want people not to drink and drive you need to provide a way to get home!
