No Tiny Tim thankfully, but plenty of beautiful blooms at the Canberra Floriade.
Hungry Hungry Hippo
On a weekend road trip, one requires the sustenance that only a proper breakfast can give. Which would you choose?
1, 2, 3, 4…
Get ready for an overdose of cuteness…
End of Winter?
A cold and wet beginning to spring – or is it finally the end of winter?
The Special One
Haven’t posted any football stuff for awhile, but I almost crapped my pants with laughter when I saw this.
One Man Band
Awhile ago I mentioned Liam Finn. Now I have his album and have been listening to it for a few weeks. I can say that his stuff is a lot more fresher than his dad’s. His voice is certainly a cross between his dad and uncle Tim. In fact, I think he’s got a manic streak to his music that reminds me a lot of Tim’s songs. But regardless who he takes after, the Finn musical genius genes certainly haven’t been lost where Liam’s concerned!
A Weekend Walk…
More WYD Fun
A few short vids of our performance:

You don’t see this everyday…
That of course, was the crowd for the opening mass of World Youth Day (taken from my office).
It was one of those extraordinary weeks. When I first found out that Sydney was hosting 3 years ago I was very cynical about it all. After all, it seemed to me one bit PR exercise. Even two months out I still wasn’t very enthused, but as it grew closer there was a sense of excitement (mixed with panic) among everyone involved that was infectious.
And then the pilgrims started appearing and it was all for real. I’d heard of what happens at WYD’s from friends and family who have been, but to see it for real is something else. In the end, it was the presence of the pilgrims from around the world that made the whole event worth it. They were all so happy that you can not help being happy when you meet them.
Anyway, here are a few photos to give you a flavour of what’s been happening
