waitingmanThe News in brief...
Was made redundant (again!!!) last week. Only 6 weeks after giving up my own little contract-based (extremely) small business & rejoining the 'workforce', I'm out of it again & wondering if the Flooring industry has delivered its verdict on me - that it's high time I left it behind
As I write this, Long-Suffering Partner is in Melbourne, checking out a Hotel room in the centre of town, its views, large TV & even larger bed. I will be joining her there tomorrow for a few days R&R, before returning to Sydney & facing the existential question: 'What do you want to do with (what remains of) your life?!?'
My go-to answer 'Retire to the far south coast of New South Wales with a few acres, my wife & a ragtag collection of animals large & small' requires a bit more money than we have at the moment, so existentialism will have to take a back seat to pragmatism for a few more years yet...
Vale to Olivia Newton-John, but also to Darryl Hunt, bass-player for The Pogues... which makes it 2 members of that band who have the dubious ignominy of failing to outlive Shane MacGowan - the one everybody expected to go first
Oh... & today's photo is from last week's visit to Sydney's Taronga Zoo, where we recently renewed our annual memberships. After all, it's World Lion Day...
