Howdy all. Last week I presented my latest vlog on YouTube, which took me to Melbourne’s Crown Casino. I thought it would be a good chance to reflect on the place a little and share a bit more about it. I’d hoped to do a vlog at the casino since last year. I tried to …

A New Year on the Blog and a Covid Staycation!
Well folks, 2022 hasn’t exactly started perfectly for me. I have just come out of isolation as I had Covid. Well, I presumably had Covid as I never received the results of my PCR test, but I had all the symptoms listed that come with Omicron and I was a close contact to several people …

I rambled up some thoughts on them a couple of weeks back when they were about half done but held back on actually publishing the post.
