On the 26th we, (here in Australia) have a public holiday for a thing called Australia Day.
It's really an excuse to drink a lot of or too much beer, take your shirt off, get hot and sweaty, have a barbecue, tie an Aussie flag around your neck, ogle anything female, act like a hooligan really.
I was remembering my last few Australia day's, especially where I was last year, I was doing hair on some models in a studio in Sydney for a photo shoot with some of Australia's best talent for a friend's seasonal lookbook for a label of his.
(here is the site, http://www.denimandthread.com/).
In 2007 I was with some friends, (i lived near the beach) and we went and sat at the water's edge, drinking ice cold beer and listened to the radio on an old ghetto blaster I got REAL cheap and is still going strong.
(it's an Australian tradition to listen to a countdown of 100 songs from the last year that a well known radio station broadcasts on this day).
Today I went to rehab and had a good workout.
I like it because I ask all the therapists to give me the hardest respective exercises.
I came home and my flatmate has one of his son's here at the moment. So me being the well cultured man I am put on my copy of B.M.X. Bandits for him to watch.
(my children love it too).
Australiana at it's best.

Hi big guy,
Really enjoying your blog - are great insight into what you are thinking and what you are thinking. Just a thought - if you write a few paras everday on what you are doing and what thoughts come to mind, you will have a decent book in no time. You write well and have enough humour to make even the most mundane funny -eg blacking out one lens of your sunnies, that is funny and unlikely to have been written by anyone, ever!!!
We are visiting Hemmingway's house in Key West tomorrow so I will look around for some writing inspiration for you!
Keep well and glad you are going hard (so to speak) on rehab,
All our best,
Your mates,
M, A and T
PS Mimi walking full-on now.
