Word-whore. I write 'em. I talk 'em. Information, politics, media, and the cybers. I drink. I use bad words. All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris! Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!
My week of Monday 13 to Sunday 19 March 2023 was less productive than I’d hoped because fatigue levels were high. I don’t know why. This week’s Wrap is late, and very much a by-the-numbers exercise. Even the photo is from the other week.

My week of Monday 7 to Sunday 13 November 2022 included a lot of sleeping. Every afternoon I ended up napping for three to nearly six hours, and I don’t know why. Still, I managed to get a podcast published, did some radio spots, and got some client work done. Not bad.

This week, Monday 24 to Sunday 30 October 2022, I recorded a fun podcast, registered disappointment with the federal Budget, accomplished important and much-delayed administrivia, and slept for many, many hours.

My week of Monday 27 June to Sunday 3 July 2022 was full of fatigue and I don’t know why. I’m hoping it was just a routine week of blergh. In any event, the weekend saw the return of MORE RAIN, with 118.6mm recorded in the 24 hours to 9am today, and already another 46.8mm by 6pm, or just before.

My week of Monday 15 to 21 November 2021 was full of conferences and fatigue, so while I got a podcast out I didn’t get anything written. I did start thinking about the Beforetimes, though, and stumbled across some photographs from the past.

I pulled back the pace for my week of Monday 4 to Sunday 10 June 2018. Brisbane’s sunny weather contributed to that at the start of the week. Fatigue sorted out the rest.
I did record a wonderful interview with John Birmingham, however, so watch out for that to appear soon in podcast form.
None, but there will be two podcasts quite soon.
Despite it being the Queen’s Birthday holiday, Monday will join Tuesday in being a work day. Writing, that’s the plan, mostly for the Crikey project. Unless some news breaks, and I have a feeling in my waters that it will.
On Wednesday I’m off to Canberra for the conference Building Australia’s Strategy for Space being run by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI).
I’ll stay in Canberra for the weekend.
Things I’ve pencilled in:
