A Tasmanian (not) in London

The tales of yet another Australian in (Australia who left) London...

Back at home in Tassie after a year and a half in London, I now dedicate myself to protecting society from unwarranted prosecution by the state. (And keeping criminals out of prison, but mostly that other thing.)

Bad Astronomy

Not a bad picture, hey? I took it from a website called Bad Astronomy, which in turn took if from the Hubble website. It is a composite of pictures from Hubble and the amusingly named Very Big Telescope. It is just my way of emphasising that Bad Astronomy really is a good website. Its author Phil Plait states his aim as "airing out myths and misconceptions in astronomy and related topics". I am not saying that I have a previously hidden love of astronomy, but the site is useful for broadening your knowledge. I particularly recommend the - albeit sporadically updated - movie review page.

Kia Ora (Hello) from a blogger down under in New Zealand !!! What are you doing in London, apart from clogging up the streets ???

Other than tolerating my many Kiwi flatmates (just kidding!). Really, that is a very good question, one I ask myself every day in fact and am yet to satisfactorily answer. Can anyone else answer it for me?

you are assuring yourself that london is fun (which it is, in the right circumstances). But more importantly, you are holding onto the "doorstep of europe", which you are not making adequate use of.

Doorsteps are were you sit to watch the world go by.

you need a pretty high step to see the world (ie. Europe) from where you are sitting.
