Sporting ANZACs

This year on ANZAC Day we remembered some sporting ANZACs during our regular Saturday morning swim session. Here are my notes. Frank Beaurepaire Three Olympic Games: 1908 – Silver in the 400m freestyle & Bronze in the 1,500m freestyle | 1920 – Silver in the 4*200 freestyle relay & Bronze in the 400m freestyle | 1924 – Bronze in the 1,500m freestyle & Silver in the 4*200m freestyle relay. He was…

Norway 2018, Revisited

I went on a fantastic trip to Norway with a good friend, Greg. It was my first trip away with a Leica camera (a Q) and I took far too many images and then it all turned into a big muddle as I was editing and uploading on the run with an iPad mini and the whole batch was just a big mess when I got home. Sometime later all those images and their related metadata (locations, places names and edits)…

For ANZAC Day 2025 (some tenuous links)

Over the Easter break, I started watching The Narrow Road to the Deep North miniseries and I ordered Richard Flanagan’s 2014 Booker Prize winning novel that inspired it for my Kindle. I usually feel a bit of a connection to this kind of thing as I am named after my father’s older brother Malcolm who died as a PoW of the Japanese. He had been captured during the fall of Singapore and had served…

Happy Holidays!

My semi-regular Christmas missive in lieu of a card.

Wassail! Wassail Wassail! I began 2024 in Lorne, staying near Gary and swimming in the surf every day. I bought a fantastic big new painting at QDOS Fine Art and was able to photograph the famous Pier-to-Pub swim. After driving back to Sydney via a night in Albury I got back into my regular grind of swimming with my gang at Victoria Park, regular ACO concerts with Gregor and Trivia nights at…

Andy Warhol: Velvet Rage and Beauty in Berlin

This post was taken down on Instagram because nudity (even in a globally significant art exhibition apparently) violates their “community guidelines”. Thanks so much for keeping us safe Meta. You have to be joking! Anyway … while I was in Berlin in September 2024, I was fortunate to see Andy Warhol: Velvet Rage and Beauty at the Neue Nationalgalerie (one of my favourite museums and buildings).…

Not the Lonely Planet Guide to Japan ...

I’ve just returned from a couple of weeks in Japan in which I visited Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara. I had plenty of friends who gave me some advice and I bought the latest Lonely Planet guide book to read before departing. I was progressively uploading photos to Flickr during my visit and a couple of people asked me for any tips and recommendations that I had for those about to visit, so I started…

Anzac Day 2024

So for the last little while I’ve been putting together a bit of information about Anzac Day and who we commemorate for the people I swim with several times a week. Sometimes I read it out between sets on the day, but this year we are only swimming on the days before and after Anzac Day, so I distributed this as reading. I don’t know why I selected some Boy Anzacs and a Dame, it just came to me…

My Reading in 2023

My total number of books was down a little on 2022, but some of these were either long reads or a bit difficult to get through. I really enjoyed Mick Heron’s Slough House series of books and I believe I’ve read all of them now. They are just so well written and there is so much hilarious dialogue. I must say the TV series is also excellent and very well cast. It is as if he has written the books…

Some Photos from Two Weeks in Hawaii

I spent two weeks in Honolulu in March 2024. This time I just took my Leica SL2, a relatively new Leica APO-Summicron-SL 50mm F/2 ASPH and a Peak Design CF travel tripod. I found it a bit of a heavy carry on longer walks. The set-up, however, did not let me down. I stayed within easy walking distance of Ala Moana Beach Park where I like to swim for about 50 mins each day and it is a great place…

Season's Greetings!

My year started with a visit from Gary so we could go to the 3rd cricket Test against South Africa at the SCG, with Judith and Steven. A day or two were rained out but we did see some play on the final day. With the remedial work to stop water ingress finally completed, I was able to get all the carpet upstairs replaced, a new sofa bed was delivered, aircon was installed in the spare bedroom…
