Thank you to the kind citizens of cyberspace who gave me wonderful advice on how to lose some words, as well as advice on academic writing in general. My many thanks!
I’ve reduced, via trimming my verbose ramblings, 250 words! Hurrah! I consider that such a feat in itself that I’m [...]
I’m not sure if the Office Footy Tipping Competition is as widespread outside Terra Australis as it is within, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a purely Australian phenomenon.
Despite my lack of any knowledge of Rugby League, I led the competition from Round 2 to Round 24 (last week) — scoring 6s and [...]
I think it was Adrian Plass who said that there came a time every Sunday, when every single Anglican parishioner’s legs started shaking, their hands got sweaty and clammy, and they were filled with a sense of dread.

Why do I always go over the word limit for uni assessments? How can I get rid of 300 words? All of them are essential! All of them communicate the essence of my topic! How cruel!

To be honest, I enjoy ironing. Actually, I love it. I love removing the creases in clothes and hanging up a newly pressed shirt. I also enjoy mowing the lawn [...]
Someone found my wiblog through a Google search “locations of orthodox churches in australia”. In case you return and need some assistance, please feel free to e-mail me or add a comment asking for information. I live in Sydney, so I may not be too much help for other cities — but I [...]
Last night I attended a friend’s wonderful Housewarming and Birthday Party in The Shire. For those fortunate enough to live outside of the horridly expensive city I call home, The Shire is labelled God’s own country by its inhabitants. It is a marvellous place with everything one could ever want within a stone’s [...]
Yesterday I took my second conversation class.
All of the students came from different parts of China and we had a very informative (for me at least — I’m sure they knew it all already) discussion about the different foodstuffs and beer available in the different provinces of China. I was told the rice wine [...]
