Remember waiting on train platforms, where the “next train” indicator was an analogue clock and station list, all updated by hand? And then, a few years back, when the computerised “next train” indicators came in, what an improvement it was?

This is more for my own reference when I don’t feel like going, or don’t make time for it, but you may find it helpful if - like me - you find it hard to motivate yourself to take that perilous journey towards the automatic doors at the gym.
Feel better for a couple of hours, [...]

My favourite scene in The Shining is the stack of paper where "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is typed up. In that spirit, perhaps this snapshot of my bedside table will give some insight into my psyche [...]

I was told that I had to try the side of lamb cutlets at this Gold Coast Cafe - Coffee on Tedder (at Main Beach) - as you can tell from the photo, it was an awesome breakfast.
