This will hurt me...

I've seen the light. My bedroom, Geilston Bay. December 2012. Not Me - A German Childhood by Joachim Fest. Evocative family history that spans the rise an fall of the Nazis. It explores how one family remained intent on preserving life from the moral cancer of Nazism. B- . The Thin Man , Dashiell Hammett. A hard-boiled whodunnit featurinf a rough'n'tough detective, wealthy socialites, hard dinking coppers 'n crims, dodgy lawyers, lippy dames and greasy stoolies. Tremendous! B+ .

Where she leads nobody knows. Mayfair Plaza Car Park, Sandy Bay. January 2012. Sunday means Sunday Top Five, which means cobbling together some kind of list. Hmmmm. I've got it! The Top Five Bowlers I've Seen Play Cricket To Be In My Side I Was Picking A Squad To Play A Test Against A Team Of Robots Programmed To Play Cricket Really Very Well! [In Batting Order.] Richard Hadlee Imran Khan Shane Warne Malcolm Marshall Curtley Ambrose Just missing the cut were Joel Garner, Glen McGrath, Wasim Akram, Michael Holding and Dennis Lillee. Backup spinners included Anil Kumble, Saqlain Mushtaq, Daniel Vettori and the bolter in Funky Miller. I can't bring myself to include Harbijhan Singh and Muttiah Muralitharan has been deemed ineligible. This line up gives the batting some depth, and whenever you have Imran as your workhorse, you know you've got a good attack.
