Welcome
This is my little site. It's not much, but I call it home (on the web, that is). Not much is changing on here these days except photos. And keep your eyes peeled on the blog to see how it's all going.
If you're new to the site, here's what's what: far out is my Sydney blog, blimey is my blog from the last few years in London, strewth is my blog from my working holiday year in Australia (2003), travel tells you about my other holidays, career is my online cv, history is a bit about me, friends is a bit about them, photos is... um... photos, escape is the much-neglected reviews section, and if you can't work out what contact's for, there's no helping you. Enjoy!

Squeezing too much in
While Team GB were rocketing to Olympic glory, not matched in a hundred years, John and I went to Melbourne last weekend. From Jetstar's tin arrivals barn, we took a bus to the city, where Adam found us in his sexy little TT and whisked us off to Fog for dinner, and a few hours drinking in assorted drinkeries. Our Sydney pad isn't nearly so stylish as Adam's schmick Prahran residence, whose bathroom is improbably found, walled in by glass, in the bedroom. I'll leave you to ruminate on the logistics of having guests to stay...
After not nearly enough sleep, we emerged for some brunch in Chapel Street and began our day of shopping. I say "shopping", but really it was more window shopping (or even more accurately, "window licking" as you might say if you were French), and really all that I bought all day was a book which has since reduced me to tears on several occasions. Anyway. Exhaustion pressed a short nap upon us on our return. Alarms were set with plenty of time for us to zip in and out of Adam's crystal bathroom, but I soon realised that Adam has managed to conceal a guilty secret from me all these years: he is a master of procrastination and delay. I shall certainly appreciate his polished appearance more in future, knowing how many anxious moments have been expended in the preparation! We eventually met Matt, freshly arrived in this faraway place, and Chris and Curtis at Big Mouth Café in St Kilda, which was sadly not a patch on the previous night's meal at Fog. You can't win them all. And from there we revisited our nightlife tour of Melbourne...

Far Out is my web journal - you can read it on this site or, if you like, sign up for it to be delivered to your inbox, or subscribe to RSS updates (what is RSS?).
So why do I have a website anyway?
Good question. Well it's kinda my job, so it's nice to have a space somewhere to play around and try new stuff; it's also a showcase of sorts, and a place to keep my cv. The rest is just padding to make it a bit more interesting and personal, and a place to put photos that I've taken.
If you move your mouse over the picture in the banner above, you'll get a caption telling you what it is (it's not always obvious!), and you can click on the arrow that will appear to cycle through other photos.
