You could be right on top of it and not see it.

Late 2012. My first year as a journalist. Love the coat. Hate the hair. I took the front page pic at the bottom of an open cut coal mine. There were too many of us for one car amd since the others were retired miners I stayed in the boot while we drove down. The blokes are surrounding one big piece of coal. It began to rain as we took the pic. They commemorate mining out the last of the major coal seam.

Adelaide's vigilante, March 2013

Digging through the archives. Here is a young innocent 2013 (24 yr old) me. Yes I loved Batman. Also I like my arms and I do believe I was working hard to get in an AFL game. So there was lots of training. Lots of pushups.

La playa!!! Perfect Queen's B'Day holiday But no sexy shirtless pics where I'm submerged in the water. 1. Cause I like my Peruvian phone 2. Cause when my shirt is off I glitter like a Stephanie Meyer vampire.

Find someone who will look at you like Rufus, who is only looking at you because you have a burger.

A year ago. Practising my news reporting skills. A Peruvian could identify exactly where this is.

Cannot wait to read a book by a guy I gave a lift to late one night after a gig.

I made lomo saltado. With actual pan fried chips. And I overdid it with the garlic flakes in the rice...which actually makes it perfect.

Took on Ganon the demon king, won, and earned myself the complete Triforce. It was a productive Sunday.

If you didn't get your pic in the paper showing you went to the races, did you even go?

First time I have had a parking ticket since my uni days on the gold coast. The irony is I was at a council meeting, and then afterwards forgot I drove, so I walked back to work.

Yes....it should arrive in two weeks

Yes it's a selfie, and yes my eyes are closed, but it's supposed to represent that I'm pretty buggered.

My favourite hike ever. 3 days in the Colca 6 months or so ago

I love a good solid #zelda game, and I love that each in a way tells its own story...or perhaps, the same story a different way. Regardless, I'm now trying #alinktothepast and it holds up well. OoT may not be the trendsetter in the mythos that I thought it was. But this one feels like a remake, a better one, than Nintendo's 80s original.

The next step to my learning. I've placed spanish notes across the house, including the shower.

During one grueling lesson after lunch on Friday, I warned the kids, "I'm starting to get cranky!" To which one girl put her hand up and asked, genuinely, "what's cranky?" My students were so smart. English was their 2nd language and they impressed me almost all the time. And they taught me a lot too. Like "cheverengue", which was their slang for "cool". So whem I left, they all drew pictures and wrote letters. And of course, they had trouble understanding my very Aussie vowels 😆

This book will be excellent. As long as I don't just gravitate to the English 😆
