I’ve definitely got Jack’s cold. Last weekend of being climbed over, coughed over, and jumped over has left its mark — the common cold. Sneezes loud enough to wake the dead accompanied me on the ride to work.
Assorted councils seem to be indulging in some scorch-the-earth style of landscape gardening, all the way from the Yarra to Oakleigh, and covering three different councils! Major trees all seem to be being cut down, and there’s nothing in their place to fill the gaps. One of these days I’ll stop and read the signs alongside the track that actually tell me what they’re doing…
Finally got to see a movie tonight that had been on my wish list for a long time. Lawrence of Arabia, in 70mm and at the Astor in comfort. To add to the pleasure of the experience, I found a $20 note lying on the carpet in the foyer at intermission — total cost was then $2 for the two of us! Seemed strange coming out of a movie about the searing heat of the desert and stepping out into 8 °C cold.
