offering a distinct and personal look into the world, according to me.
“GOOD MORNING!” The face glances back at me, a broad grin that coaxes me into offering one of my own. The man looks about seventy, but he presents the exuberance of a twenty year-old, it’s infectious, and I love it. Short white hair, sunglasses, blue t-shirt and black shorts, he pounds the pavement with purpose, […]
Read More The Exuberant ManThe Ashes begin tomorrow, I’ve always enjoyed watching cricket, and playing it, although I was never overly good at it. The one and only season of club cricket I played in the mid 2000s was enough for me, and I don’t think I was ever enamoured with the prospect of standing in the sun every […]
Read More School cricket, strawberry milk and floppy green hatsHe moved so fast, I didn’t see it coming. One swift strike to the side of the head and I’m virtually out to it, non-responsive, with a ring-side seat to what transpires next.

Now I’m going to tell you why, in great detail, so widen those eyes and let me paint a papaya coloured picture – it’s a beautiful one.

In my previous post when I introduced According To Me, I mentioned that I’m looking forward to putting together a few reviews on various things I’m interested in, whether it be a book I’ve read, perhaps a movie I’ve watched or even a glass of red I’ve […]

Read More according to me – an introA dominant record at a fortress was relinquished, and so to Australia’s faith in their test team – it was the first time in over 30 years that the Australian’s had been defeated at the Gabba and wasn’t the fallout jarring. Had Australia taken those ten wickets against India, on the final day, there would […]
Read More A novice’s thoughts on the Australian Test TeamMy word, what an enthralling last few weeks it has been. Richmond are AFL premiers once again, and like it or loathe it, it feels appropriate, they are a magnificent team and are a very worthy winner, I’ll divulge on this a little later on. We’ve seen the Los Angeles Lakers take home an NBA […]
