I’m in a strange mood atm - somewhat melancholic. Someone I knew (virtually) was found dead. His dog was found by his side and apparently it hadn’t moved or eaten for days.
I didn’t feel like talking to anyone so I’ve hidden away for several days now… reading… meditating… going for walks… then last night a massive storm swept over. I don’t think I’ve ever been so close to a storm as large as this; I swear it felt as though it was 30 meters/100 feet above the house. Throughout the storm there were several huge cracks then explosions that sounded like lightening hitting trees. The thunder was so loud it literally shook the house and, of course, I lost power.
Today (Sunday) has been so eerily silent. It seems the birds, reptiles and animals are still a little shell shocked. The wind is exhausted and still.
Now the evening is coming and tomorrow it’s back to ‘work’… back to yap yap yapping people… back to problems that need solving…

PSYCHEDELIC / DANCE
It’s been another perfect summer’s day: cycling in the morning, spending the afternoon on a beach with turquoise blue water (listening to Jagwar Ma and Pond), and finishing up relaxing on the deck drinking red wine and chatting with a friend as we watched the darkness swallow up the forest around us. With all of this, It’s strange to be thinking of moving again but my gut is telling me that’s what I should do but so far I have no idea where I’ll move to, or why?

Pond – Colouring The Streets
This is a track from a new surf movie that was released to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the most famous of the Oz surf movies. Perfect.
We used to drop acid and sit transfixed to the screen like the proverbial deer in the headlights – terrifying, exhilarating and mind blowing all at the same time.

And now for something completely different… This band was really an early 80’s and 90’s band but they reform every once in a while and are still going. Most people would know Lisa Gerrard from the Gladiator soundtrack: Now We Are Free.
