""Walking round the room singing 'Stormy Weather' 
at 57 Mount Pleasant Street. 
Well, it's the same room but everything's different; 
You can find the sleep but not the dream. 

Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen, 
Strange affliction washes over me." 

"Weather With You" by Crowded House 

I should really change that one word in the Crowded House song from 'affliction' to 'addiction'. It goes to show you that life IS a Crowded House song. And it was fogged in on this trip.

Life: Past and Present

An update from my previous travels: I did make the papers; well part of me did at least. I saw my Mickey Mouse California Driver's License in the newspaper about the murder in the outback near Barrow Creek. They were interviewing one of the barmaids there and they had a picture of her at the bar – with Mickey right above her right shoulder. Although it is a horrible situation what happened to the British tourists, I did get a thrill in seeing one of my Stripteased possessions doing so well on its own.

Well the last few days in Darwin were spent doing very little (except getting Eve's radio and catalytic converter fixed. Bitch.). It was nice staying put in one place for more than two days and not playing tourist seeing all the sites.

We met one of Tony's friends, who is in the Australian Air Force. He had a mate who invited us to a proper suburban barbie. It was nice seeing how suburbanites live. I almost forgot than one can have such luxuries as cable TV, swimming pool, full-size kitchen, etc. We just sat on the veranda drinking beer (or 'drinking piss' as the Aussies say) and waiting for the meat to cook on the barbie. Great evening.

That is another thing about the Aussies: they love animal flesh. I guess I can count myself lucky that I am no longer a vegetarian, ...
