We've now combined most of the kitchen stuff (and thrown out a lot of old crockery and pots & pans etc), and done some cooking together. I baked some barra on Sunday night ... http://otherleg.com/anotherblog/archives/1240 Here's the video I create as my speech at the wedding. All the timestamp subtitles are accurate. It was very well received! http://otherleg.com/anotherblog/archives/1238 I married the very lovely Veronica on the 25th of October. Hooray! More news once we're back from our honeymoon. Melbourne has been great. We just got back from a ride on a hot air balloon. http://otherleg.com/anotherblog/archives/1236 It has been somewhat remiss of me to not mention Mezzacotta until now.

Dave & Fiona & Jimbo & Simon met Von, and I met Conner, who was endlessly entertaining. We chatted, ate an extraordinary dinner, chatted some more, watched Conner, went for a walk, slept, had breakfast, watched episode 1 of "No Heroics", ... http://otherleg.com/anotherblog/archives/1225 The subaru has finally gone too far. Too far, that is, for the head gasket, whose mind has been well and truly blown. I haven't gotten the cost estimate back yet, but it's pretty academic: there's really no point repairing it this time. It's going to be ... http://otherleg.com/anotherblog/archives/1222 So, I went to the effort of learning the famous and rather beautiful Cantonese poem "Night Thoughts".
