207 – 224. More Books and Films

Every day that I slosh into work soaked from the drenching I got on the bike on my way to the hospital I joke with the staff that next time there is a drought in Australia all the Government needs to do is pay for me to fly over from the UK and I’ll be guaranteed to bring the rain with me. Apparently, this has been one of the wettest winters on record and there’s been all kinds of insane weather-associated destruction which really does a good job of taking peoples minds off the arid farm lands further inland which are presently unable to produce any food.

It has, therefore, resulted in me spending more time than I would like indoors but has given me a chance to catch up on some very enjoyable reading and film watching. OK so 12,000 miles is a long way to come to read a few books and get square eyes but even in the worst weather here you can feel relaxed and chilled out with a book and a glass of wine knowing that the sun will be out soon. In Scotland you’d just be pissed off – permanently. Actually, I think I recall that I was – permanently.
