parrot brunch

One of the parrots joined me for brunch today. A big meal on the balcony, looking over Sydney harbour.

Sweet!

I didn't share my German herring, but rather offered pieces of citrus and kiwi fruit.

Does anyone know how to tell the sex of a parrot? Please, share the knowledge!

vintage

I cannot find the charger to my camera and even though i have seven batteries, they are unpowered - crap. i'll orderone from hong kong. meanwhile, i am going thru the already existing folders :) Barcelona.......

mission completed

Got up at four thirty this morning, had a cup of tea for breakfast, a second one for lunch and a 350g steak for dinner at five. the mission is completed. the isntrument is installed and runs as a jamaican and an ethiopian combined. i am back in Sydney and experienced the diversity of the local public transportation. it always takes you twice the normal the first time. but now you know how it works and that you shouldn't get off at circular quay if you want to go to north sydney station. it was a nice thirty minutes walk home over the harbour bridge with the opera house to your immediate right. now it's immediate bed time. yawn. goodonya!

installation

Hello good people. We have been working since the dusk with things that wouldn't make you very proud if you're a ve vegetarian. we have made it work much better then anytime before - it's great and the customer is jolly happy! ah, the place is called poowonga and is as pitoresque as a terrestial place can get, and the hobbits are great too! after the breakfast at seven am we had a cup of tea (sugarless) at one pm and first dinner at seven pm, with a dry martini before that. it's a hammer! and the food is five hundred times better than you think it would be in the (half) middle of nowhere. but then again, it's called the Bear House. and it's in Crainborn! and the wine is outstanding!

Victoria

Hello from the land of Victoria good fellas! I have been here a day now, we are installing a big instrument in a meat factory in a town called something like Powoonga or thereabout. Very interesting. And very beautiful landscape - just like I imagined New Zealand to be, very green and hilly, lots of cows and goats and shetland ponnies and creaks and ponds and meadows and hobbits. And this is very close to Melbourne. A beautiful place!

We are staying at a lovely little motel called the Bear House. They've got a big stuffed brown bear in the restaurant cottage looking at you. The food and the wine is amazingly great - I just had some kangaroo, very rare and nice. Great place! You should come here! Now the wine tells me to go to bed! :)

How are things in Europe mates? comments please!

Sydney airport

Just boarding the 06.45 flight to Melbourne. The hi-fi in the surfer store next to my ears plays some sweet dance music. What about a sunny happy remix of the Similou, All this Love! Sweet!

local news

According to a local paper, seven percent of the kids in the "rich" suburbs of Sydney meet the criteria of a person having gambling problems. If they have to much money, I can give them an account number to release their pain of carrying to havy a wallet....

oh, by the way, there is a big discussion here now whether they should build twenty something nuclear power plants or not. Australia goes green, but wtf, what about the solar power? You have it, use it!
