Week 4 – Photo a day Challenge
Week four is the last week for the photo a day challenge I signed up for. I’ve had a lot of fun trying to find something everyday to photograph in line with the daily theme. I admit some days I didn’t get very close, some days the connection was tenuous to say the least, but…

Short Thoughts: The Return of the King
Thursday night was my sixth Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show for the season.

La Mama, it turns out,…

Dudley
This is my contribution for Day 12 NaPoWriMo – maybe it’s a found poem, maybe it’s blank verse, maybe it’s comedy or maybe it’s just an exploration of what happens when you replace words with Dudley. Dudley Dudley outbreak in local school! New Dudley flavoured Tim Tams. Would you allow a Dudley in your house?…
