Random thoughts and observations
My eldest daughter is 18 today. I won’t write much about her, because she’ll just get embarrassed and annoyed if she discovers this post.
However, it’s an important milestone in my life as well as hers, so it deserves to be noted.
As a parent there are mixed feelings about having one of your brood officially become an adult.
Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar dined at a popular Thai Restaurant in Adelaide last night. I know that because my wife works there and she served him.
He was with some older men she didn’t recognise, possibly team management or local supporters.
India plays Australia in a one-day international tomorrow at Adelaide Oval.
I took this picture with my mobile phone today while walking past the West Beach Primary School.
I’m neither a botanist nor an ornithologist, but the birds are some type of parrot and I guess the bush is a bottlebrush.
I’ll mention too the weather has been remarkably cool for Adelaide in February over the past week.
Gizmodo republished a photo from Reddit of a note that was left with a stack of unclaimed Yellow Pages.
The note reads, in part: “Dear Yellow Pages, see this big stack of unclaimed telephone books? NOBODY WANTS THEM. Please stop killing trees and GET A NEW BUSINESS MODEL.”
I entirely agree with the sentiment.
I have four offices in Adelaide from which I work at various times. That requires me to carry four different electronic security passes for entry, which is rather annoying, but less annoying than forgetting to take one.
One of my offices looks over Victoria Square toward Gulf St Vincent. In fact, the sea is visible on most days, 10km away.
