My apologies for the lack of commentary today, but I thought I’d share the pictures from yesterday's rather extraordinary day of weather. Here is the view south, down towards Antarctica at lunchtime. Compare it to the week before to get a sense of the haze.
The wearisome excuse is that old chestnut: work.
Yes, work is again out of hand and Monday is a Australia Day, where we are supposed to think about stuff like red dirt, grit, courage, determination and all that gear, but in reality it increasingly involves a bunch of pissed idiots in singlets draped in the [horrible] Austalian flag fighting and flashing their breasts.
Consequently, the pressure is on to finish things on Friday.

Happy Australia Day, Kris. At least you get to spend it with beautiful Jen and your sweet children.
I will be bbq'ing alone this year...Cody will be off with the girlfriend and Zac will be at Big Day Out... moshing his little heart out.
I quite like the German flag. I guess that there has been a real shying away from blatant displays of patriotism after events of an earlier era.
I will admit that it seems odd to me to be so wrapped up in love for something as odd as a flag. I like Australia a lot, and think that it is the best place to live, but I think that it seems a bit silly to prance around going on about it all the time.
