P365 – Day 100 amber

If I’ve calculated correctly, today is Day 100 of my Project 365. So I thought I’d use today’s post to explain where things are up to right now. You might have noticed that over the past couple of weeks, the style of my photos has changed quite a bit. This...

P365 – Day 99 at the footy

Today was the second round of the football competition that our local team plays in. It was the first home game of the season. We go to as many home games as we can, but usually go at about half time, because we’ve found that’s been about the limit...

P365 – Day 98 ahoy there, me hearties! (8/4/2011)

P365 – Day 95 167,576 km

I bought my car in 2003. In July it will be eight years old. This morning (with the sun streaming through the windscreen) it went in for its 165,000 km service. This is the last service in the handbook. So I guess this means my car is now ‘middle...

P365 – Day 94 10 murray street

If you’ve spent any time in Hobart, you’ve probably seen this building. It’s 10 Murray Street, also known as the State Offices. Currently home to public servants, it was built in the late 1960s. I’m not an expert on architecture in any sense of the word, so I don’t...
