Commuting, Work

Why I catch the train

I know it's not London but it is still traffic

I had to drive my car into work the other day and on the way home got stuck in traffic.

I’ve been stuck in much worse traffic.

But it was just so irritating.
Medicinal help to improve one’s erection issues are now the talk of the town. wholesale cialis price generic levitra prices It forms a basis of all that we do. As with any drug or supplement ingredient, safety must be viagra in usa online the top concern. Once you place an order for a long cheap viagra from india new.castillodeprincesas.com duration? Of course, you have thought on this issue time and again and might have taken steps in this regard too.
Especially because I hadn’t wanted to drive in case I got stuck in traffic.

Probably need to drive tomorrow… unless…

Groover?  Are you busy?

Commuting, Visual Art

Through the glass

So much grafitti

The late afternoon sun came through the graffiti on the way home yesterday and I really noticed it.

This morning, as I write this on my way to work the glass is gleaming and clear.

The clear glass

The branded manufacturers invest viagra without prescription canada lots of money in research or marketing. viagra prices in usa Contraindications: Kamagra Oral Jelly is contraindicated in patients taking nitrates. Iatrogenic – Bad viagra cialis generico effects of certain medications affect erection. But, provided you afford the right viagra canadian pharmacy amount of research and due care; you’ll be able to transform your life and adopt an entirely new, healthy lifestyle. What a  difference.

It makes me wonder whether they put some sort of covering on the glass that they can replace occasionally to bring the windows… excuse the pun… up to scratch.

And if not, maybe that would be a solution to a problem all those security guards and cameras don’t seem to be able to solve.

What do they do in Washington DC? They would have the best kept metro I’ve been on.

Shrouded City

Cloudy Perth

One of the things I like about commuting (rather than driving) to work is the feeling that I am part of something bigger.

Yesterday for example, looking  up as I walked up the ramp from the station I was struck by this image of my city shrouded in low lying cloud.

It doesn’t happen often.

Even today, when it was raining, the city was free and clear.

If I had driven in, chances are I wouldn’t have noticed.

I love over-hearing other people’s conversations as well.

Getting an insight into their lives and sometimes into mine.

The other day on the way home I heard two young executive types discussing the various talk radio shows in Perth.

So weird hearing strangers talking about people you know.

(and even funnier when you agree with their astute assessment!)

Amazing what comes through on the radio – you can’t hide!

Apart from commuting the other thing that has made me feel part of something bigger is Theatresports. (can’t wait for the spring season)

The little community that has built around it is lovely – I am having coffee (separately) with two friends from the group this week alone.

Authorized Australian cialis cheap india pharmacies online would offer genuine drugs at reasonably discounted price. Impotence and cheap levitra india erectile dysfunction are two different terms with the same meaning. For different cipla tadalafil 10mg people trying to quit it different approaches work like some can simply decide a date and quit it. And Theatresports of course has led to Groover’s Acting Debut – this Thursday at the Midland Junction Arts Centre.

Supporting Arsenic and Old Lace has led us to go to other productions that our fellow theatresporters are in which is why you found us at the Limelight Theatre in Wanneroo last Saturday night.

I was impressed with the full house and committed community theatre going public.

It’s a whole world I haven’t explored (despite reporting on it years ago on radio).

We saw Chess, complete with a live band.

It is not an easy musical, and I’ve been singing the songs all week.

Badly I’m sad to say.

For the last few years I’ve been privileged to be invited to a number of professional theatre productions, ironic then that the first production in a while that I should pay for is amateur theatre!

But bring it on.

I’ve seen first hand how hard everyone works to get these productions up – with no pay.

They deserve to be supported.

And hey – they are one of the few public places I’ve been to which supplies nice quilted SOFT loo paper.

Which just makes the experience all the better.

Commuting

My commute

I thought I should report in after a week commuting.

My destination is Claisebrook and while I wait for my train every afternoon I sit and watch the cars whizz by heading for the “Polly Pipe” (the Graeme Farmer Freeway tunnel), a journey I used to drive for the last few years.

At this time of the year the traffic flows well but I look forward to the summer holidays being over and me alighting a train while the cars crawl by.

So far I must say, so painless.

I love being able to read on the way to work, something very tricky to do when you are driving your car.

I can call people without risking a $250 fine.

And apart from all that there’s a feeling of “being pious” and “doing good”.

I walk to the station in the morning – a five to ten minute affair – often stopping off at the deli for a piece of fruit for lunch or some such.

In the winter that might be a bit meh but at the moment it’s lovely to walk through the ‘burb.

Walking back is a little warmer, still with my runners on, not too bad and hey it’s more exercise than I’d get from driving.

Cannabis Improves Sleep For patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, cheap soft cialis a good night’s sleep is hard to find. For getting the medicine, you have to visit to any of the component from the medicine then make sure you inform your respective doctor about donssite.com cheapest viagra it.
It also makes you feel part of the world, commuting.

Seeing everyone else on their way to work, school or play.

Sort of a “we’re all in this together” kind of feeling.

So commuting gets a thumbs up from me after one week, the only question remaining is why I haven’t always commuted.

I guess it’s simply because I had a cheap parking space.

For those of you interested, I made a little video of my journey home last night.

Not the most riveting of films, I won’t tell a lie, but possibly of interest if you’re from Perth as you might recognise some of the landmarks.

You’ll see some of the Claremont redevelopment for example.

Anyway here ’tis:

Commuting, Extracurricular, Work

Old books and old friends

If you see me commuting by train this week – oh yes, I’m a train commuter now – you’ll spot me reading an ancient book my mother owned.

Billabong’s Daughter by Mary Grant Bruce.

I love the Billabong books but these days they are a bit politically incorrect.

Make that very non PC and I think the newer editions have been… sanitised.

It’s about a station in northern Victoria (I think) just after the First World War and the story is about the squatter Jim Linton and his family.

They act like the upper class might in England, dispensing largess to the lesser well off or should that be ‘orf’.

Far different to squatters of today who (for the most part) are the lesser well off.

There’s lots of cattle mustering and you do get a feel for the country back at the turn of the last century.

They are… quaint… I guess and part of the attraction to me is the fact that my mum used to love them when she was a gel.

Commuting with Billabong has been great so far, although the walk home can be a bit warm.

The five day liquid only diet has come to an end.

I’m not sure I’ll willingly do it again.

It hasn’t been too hard in terms of keeping to the apple juice/ginger root three hourly drinks (bleah) but it is boring drinking liquids all the time.

And I don’t think I’ve lost any weight which I’m disappointed in. I rather hoped I might kick off my new year a bit slimmer. Sigh.

Work has been busy but I must confess sitting the heat out in office air-conditioning has been pleasant.

On the last Sunday before I had to go back to work I went out for drinks at Salt, down at Port Beach with some friends.

The liquid-only diet doesn’t preclude alcohol but I did limit myself to just the one beer. 🙂

We met this couple nearly ten years ago in Bali – we scabbed a lift to Club Med with them – and since then we’ve become close friends.

Salt is great on a sunny Sunday afternoon. They have someone singing… the food is (looks) great and the beer is cold.

They style themselves as a nano-brewery and I tried the wheat beer – the Heifweisen (or something like that).

I enjoyed it.

Next time I want to try the pizza.
