    Cairns, Queensland... New discovery

    Don’t quote me on this because it’s been a few years, but I think it was Laura, out west from Cooktown, that was without a publican for quite a while, at least the pub was closed when I went through. The previous publican was a local, who reckoned he knew which way was up and, against all advice...

    Cairns, Queensland... New discovery

    True or False

    False. I celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, only. We should be waiting until Samhain. (Which should be at a totally different time of year here. Which is why we’re waiting - yours is already gone.)

    An impossible question...

    The oxygen density in water is orders of magnitude great than in air. Fish are swimming in (mostly) oxygen. Unfortunately, it is all “bound” to hydrogen, so the fish get none of that, they have to make do with the scraps of “dissolved” oxygen that happen to leak in. Can you imagine the...

    True or False

    True. The happiness I receive from the happiness I can give someone I care about means so much to me. Every day is a new day of reinvention, not just New Year’s.

    True or False

    False, I have adopted the Icelandic custom of giving books for Christmas, on Christmas Eve. I do love a good book. You treasure the gifts you receive that friends/family have made.

    Storseisundet Bridge, Norway This beautiful curved cantilever bridge is the longest on Atlanterhavsveien, the road connection from the mainland Romsdal peninsula to the island of Averøya in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. We drove here just so we could see it and drive over it.
