Brisbane: After Dark, August 2006

Temp today 30c, will somebody remind me that it's still Winter.

The sun went down behind Mt. Glorious two hours ago, it's after 7.30pm and here I am sitting outside next to the pool writing my blog. The warm weather has brought forward the plethora of insects that we get from living on acreage. I have put some jungle gel on my arms and legs for some protection and filled the citrus lamp with paraffin which is burning on the table top. Frogs are coming alive with their sound of mating but the cicada's won't be heard until it really warms up. The lights on the pool create an ambient lighting under the cloudless sky filled with stars. My music of choice is a Cafe-del-Mar double chill out album playing through the flyscreen from the media room next to me.

How far have we come in the last 10 years? I did have a computer way back then and felt like the man who owned the first color T.V in the street. The internet was in it's infancy and here I am today using wireless broadband on a laptop, sitting outdoors, listening to cool music, drinking beer and feeling really chilled out and the weekend has only just begun.

Can life get any better than this?
