… work, house (one sold, one to be bought – soon), Green Party, other work … all a little out of control just now, so there won’t be much substantive blogging here at least for a few days, but I have taken a minute to browse an exploration of the “ugly Australian” traveller. Do you find your accent makes you welcome, or sees you shunned? (I found Crete was the place where it had the most currency, but I am talking of almost two decades ago.)

Otherwise, I’ve been musing on the appropriate collective noun for a group of pizza delivery motorbike riders (a “swarm”, a buzz”?), after seeing a collection outside a shop this afternoon – must have been at least a dozen.
