PS

I gather that some of you are actually reading this. (No, Vaz is not a stalker - he's just the only one leaving comments).





So thanks for that.





I suppose I ought to assert my rights as the author of the photos, or something (not that it makes any difference) - pretty good considering most of them have been taken on a phone.





And I'll share some good music if I find it (although I do miss British radio). So at the mo I'm listening to the Hoodoo Gurus (eighties band still going strong), and the Hot Lies (local band, first album, slightly american college-rock, but defo worth a listen). As are Mere Theory. Sadly I missed all three bands live last weekend. If you like "roots" (country, basically), the Waifs are pretty popular.

As far as other Aussie culture goes (no laughing, over there), I'd recommend Joy Dettman who writes girlie books but with enough of a twist to make them worth reading. And I also read a 1940s book called "the Battlers" by Kylie Tennant, which is interesting (hardly in depth critique this).

I'll admit to finding a couple of decent TV programmes. OK, one. (This is a country that can fit 4 ad breaks into Neighbours). It's an improv comedy programme called "Thank God You're Here", and apparently it's been syndicated to the UK so look out for it.

Films and DVDs? I finally saw all of Lantana (which I'd been meaning to watch for a while) - and halfway through realised that it looked very familiar - it was on in the UK in June. There's a few more Aus films I'm intending to rent, so I'll let you know. (Oh and talking of films, I'm very distressed about The Seeker - looks like it has completely ruined one of my childhood favourite books. I like to judge before I've seen - but then that is the point of trailers after all)
