On being Australian
Driving home from work today it suddenly hit me that we have been in country almost six months to the day. Man, time flies when you’re having fun! I guess it’s time for a reality check. Have I become Australian? Continue reading “On being Australian”
More running in Sydney
Last week I was back in Sydney for work (as previously posted), which meant that I was back on the road for a bit of running.

They are usually a mixture of Christian days (like Christmas and Easter) and nationally important days (like Reunification Day in Germany or Kings Day in the Netherlands), with some odd ones in there as well (like Labour Day). But the public holiday we have here in Melbourne today really takes the cake. Continue reading “Public holidays”
