Capture: Going Walkabout in Sydney, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Walk about on Taipa at sunset
The rays man, the rays. What a wonderful place; now on my must-go list.
Bird and bovine is good.

Hard News: Friday Music: When there were…, in reply to Jonathan Ganley,
Ta. I was there for the full sentence, a couple of days before and after as well, and it occurred that I could remember nothing about what the place looked like, only Toots and the Maytals and a verry weird road trip home.

Not a burger ...say it isn't so.
Doesn't say. Could have been a ham sandwich.

Ew. Reminds me of a picture of a woman's bare feet with stiletto heels photoshopped as flesh; creepy.

As an aside, does anyone know where I can look at photographs of Sweetwaters 1983?

St Martins is to open in October-ish. Redcliffs has a plan but is not due to be rebuilt anytime soon. (saw that in a community paper a couple of weeks ago). It's by a cliff so that will slow any rebuild on the same spot. Countdown don't know: land issues?

Meanwhile Harold the giraffe at Orana Park has died:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/7154082/Harold-the-giraffe-diesChief executive Lynn Anderson said Harold, known affectionately as Harry, died after regurgitating food and then inhaling it into his lungs.
Initial autopsy results showed his fourth stomach chamber was inflamed.
"Nineteen years was too young and he was in good health, so it was quite sudden," Anderson said.
She said his death would have been quick.
The 19-year-old giraffe, known outside the park as the mascot of the Life Education Trust, died overnight.
Poor Harold. OD'ed? Or did he do a Mama Cass?

This one. The best.

And Simply Red.
I nearly mentioned them but I think they may be a girl thing rather than general interest.

Wow thanks. Press any button on PA and out comes the answer. That is the video. Maybe you're right about the lighting, or the colour is way gone on our TV (an old 29 inch CRT that has fallen flat on its face three times in the shakes).
I like Simple Minds for their bigness of sound, their swirly melodiousness, and that they seem to be able to play stadiums without being pompous (U2 are very prog-pomp). And the Simples seem to enjoy playing; sometimes you catch them smirking as in "jeez, I can still do it, even with a double chin". Muddle age has made me appreciate that humour.
