Oh! Sydney! Sometimes I really miss that city. *sigh* But then, I know I'd miss QLD at least a little if I lived in Sydney.

You bought a Madness CD! W000t!

A Wiggles DVD is playing "Hello We're the Wiggles" over and over. I love having a toddler. Really, I do. If I stab someone in a brightly coloured turtleneck, it'll be an easy insanity defense, right??

That particular one is utterly brilliant

Yes - but make sure you are in a brightly coloured one - if you're wearing a muted one it won't hold water.

The horn section down below has started up again. Amusing.

I do miss the blue-green, warm peace of home, but if I'm going to be away, then I don't want a poor facsimile - this roaring orchestra of angry-light-and-sound cityscape is a satisfactory alternative. By tomorrow night I'll be craving Loved company, the calming swell of clear sea, the gentle chatter of birdlife, and the green-under-bluest-blue of a Noosa life.

I only spent 3 days in Sydney (on the New Year of Y2K) and really enjoyed it, but that's all I know of Oz. Right now what's making me drool is your description of home

I look forward to going back home too, even though it's not as idyllic as yours sounds

I can hear traffic, people, the buzz of pedestrian lights, ans muffled music from either the pool hall across the road, the cafe-bar on the opposite corner, or the other bar around the corner (or maybe it's from one of the many other places and eateries around - it's hard to tell).

cities *are* noisy. even though i hear the noise every day, occasionally i'll forget about it and then suddenly *notice* it and be surprised. i agree though ; with some specific exceptions (shums... ) it has its pleasant aspects. i like knowing there are people all around me ; i feel connected to a thousand different stories i don't even know, and part of something huge but paradoxically also completely on a human scale.

About half of these were a direct result of posts by some of you folk (who knew Zelda was such a massive Spice Girls fan, hey?).

it certainly comes as a surprise to me...

Tomorrow...photography (iphonography most likely).

will you show us ? i'd love to see them !

People do notice when I try to wear hats. The evil genious sized head just looks wrong when accompanied with a hat

Edit: Oh and the evil squinting.(though that might be my hatred for all thing sun related)

I just wrote the following:

Adrian, Master of the Fiery Rings of... Something Really Horrid, threw down his cigarette and went dog hunting.

I think it's going to get interesting from there...

I gotta tell you, I feel your pain. I was SO GLAD when Ryleigh got to the point where she thought the Wiggles were lame. Before that point, whenever the show would come on, I would have to make a concerted effort to not look at the screen. Otherwise, it would suck me in and I couldn't look away, just like road kill on the highway. You know you don't want to look, but you can't help yourself. I'm pretty sure this condition is called "The Wiggles Syndrome". I know the same thing happened with my two older kids, only it was "The Barney Show" and involved a BIG purple dinosaur.
