Taxidermy as art
This is from a shop I saw in Adelong, near Tumut. If I had sideboards I'd have bought this.
The Hermit
Recently I saw a play about Griffith's hermit, written by Scott Howie and Matt Schulz. The play was okay but what really got my attention were the photos in the Griffith Theatre's foyer of how the cave looked when the hermit lived there. He had extensive gardens and rockwalls.
Here are a couple of pics I took when I visited the hermit's cave a few years ago. I like the irony in the top pic, now that suburbia is within a few hundred metres of the former refuge from society.
Ice afternoon
We had a wild hail storm last week.
I was out attempting to get a picture of one of Council's grader operators who has clocked up 40 years. The hail prevented the shot but I got this one of a currajong that had fallen across Brobenah Road. The trunk was rotten and full of white ants.
The hail was something else. Ice nuggets the size of golf balls and they weren't round, they had sharp edges and would've been painful.
Another sentimental tune I recorded for the RPM Challenge. Jo sang for me again and I attempted to play all the instruments and engineer also.

Lying down feeling low
Feel like I've got further to go
Shaking around in a sweat
Replay the scene of my regret
If I had known
If I had known
Find myself all alone
Inside the guilt a private show
Springtime day on tape delay
Replay the smile you gave me again
If I had known what now I know
How memories fade and regrets grow
Might have known to make the time
Might have known I could make you mine
Pull myself from the depth
Leave it behind and catch my breath
Shake the past and stand refreshed
Leave the memory I should repress
If I had known what now I know
How memories fade and regrets grow
Might have known to make the time
Might have known I could make you mine

Blue moon
This is a track that Jo and I recorded for the 2008 RPM Challenge. It sounds sloppy but I thought it was an okay tune. Been meaning to re-record it.
Apparently there's a blue moon this new year's eve.

Old flame never tamed
still alive in my chest
your name sounding plain
could still quicken my breath
It aches a whisper quakes
on my soon remembered lip
as the thought is finished quickly
my guard no longer slipped
Why should I even care?
about something that was never there
Do you remember the blue moon?
it was the night you made me swoon
you probably never knew
you were in another room
Ease back from that flash
brought from the depth of my past
to steal back into
a self-conscious laugh
For your memory will still exist
after this moment has passed
It's my lacklustre tale
of a romance at half-mast
Why should I even care?
about something that was never there
Do you remember the blue moon?
it was the night you made me swoon
you probably never knew
you were in another room
dancing to a different tune
with some other dude
[Repeat first verse and then chorus twice]

Flame on
As much as I've been enthralled by the graffiti left around town by some misguided teen, I've been even more entertained to see her flamed by another misguided texta. Just as soon as Lori (formerly Lorrain Lee) had announced the latest in a string of romantic interests and she was set upon in her chosen medium.
