Last week I resented a list of cities that one visit is simply not enough. I hate to go negative, but this week I thought I would go to the other end of the spectrum, and look at cities where one visit may well be MORE than enough! Lagos, Nigeria With over 21 million people …
Hi all, it's Thursday again! And that means I bring you some more Eurovision classics! Today the songs I give you today are actually some of my personal favourites. And they're probably no-one else's favourites but what 'floats your boat' is always going to vary from person to person. And I have more! Today's are …

Hi all. You may recall last year I had a special find - a roll of film from my visit to Egypt in 1999. Today I put them together with the others I had to present photos - good old 35mm photos - from Egypt. Thanks for stopping by today - take care - and …
Recently I had the opportunity to ride Melbourne’s largest Ferris Wheel, the Melbourne Star. This giant wheel is in the same vein as the London Eye, it rises 120 metres above the ground and gives you a complete view of Melbourne far and wide. It’s an expensive ride at full price - $36AUD for an …
Happy Sunday! Today the post is about cities I’ve been to which I think absolutely DEMAND a second visit (if not a third or fourth). They are BIG cities, cities that blow you away, amaze and dare I say… delight? Let’s see! Singapore Definitely the smallest of these five cities, Singapore is in my mind …

Today I thought I’d share a place I visited a couple of months back now, the museum of the Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) Museum, in Point Cook attached to the RAAF base there. From Melbourne it’s not far, around 30 minutes by car from the CBD, in an area that is full of paddocks and …
So the time has come to reveal all about the plans for the year. Sometimes I am able to contain myself and keep the plans limited, like last year to India and Sri Lanka. This year… less so! This year I have sort of thrown off the shackles and decided to get as much in …
Today I've decided to present some of the weirder songs Eurovision has seen over the years. Not all, not by a long shot! Might do another one of weird songs a little further along. Anyways! Alf Poier from Austria presented this song in 2003, a song about pure nonsense. Mad as it may have been, …
