I thought that I should start writing on this 'blog' again. This happens when I go travelling. There's no reason I can think of that I shouldn't document my life when I'm stationary, but travelling seems to be a good excuse. So I'm in Sydney now. I've been on a fabulous trip in order to get here - my favourite part being in my own unfortunate country. I had a great time there and I hope to put some of my experiences in writing soon.
I want this to be a photo diary. So tomorrow I'm off sight-seeing with a friend called Anna and I will post the photos. We've planned to go to Manly - a place in greater Sydney that was named, apparently, after the manly behaviour of the aboriginal Australians.*
It's late at night now and my new girlfriend is in bed. There are better times to write a diary, especially for one who is unemployed.
*This according to Robert Hughes in the remarkable The Fatal Shore, a history of the convict beginnings of Australia.
