Broken Archangel: The Tempestuous Lives of Roger Casement - Roland Philipps

Very detailed read on his work on the Congo, Amazon and the fight for Irish independence.

Would have liked a bit more of an insight into his childhood though.

Christmas in the City.

Sad looking Christmas decorations on Swanston Street and a "traditional English pub" Aussie style.

ALL HER FAULT - Binge (2025)

What started off as "spot the Melbourne location for a story set in Chicago" game turned into a rather enjoyable crime / thriller drama.

Sarah Snook is very good and carried the show.

The star jasmine is in full bloom, and the floral scent is going right through the house.

Quite lovely, really.

A Night in Town

A shame they never finished Parliament House. It was supposed to have a dome in the centre of it.

Oh. Okay. So, who is Soames and Jolyon?

Stand up and be proud Australia.

Having a former opposition Deputy Leader (and potential Deputy Prime Minister of Australia) on the right and said politician so blind drunk he falls on the footpath and continues his phone call….might not be the worst thing a politician could do.

The company was eventually taken over by Cadbury.

And a few other photos from Fitzroy.

This weeks been busy with attending to a body that is getting old.

This week, I’ve been to the dentist, physio and my skin cancer specialist. You’re just not Australian if you don’t say that last phrase at least once a year. 😅

Photo of my big head with me coming off second best with a skin biopsy.

Great weather in Melbounre today.

Which, of course, means that tomorrow we're in store for cyclonic winds. 😅

Walking home from the dentist. A French Cafe.
