Long time no post

It occurs to me that I have not posed in a long time... this is largely as 1) my 2010 world trip is over and 2) it is not 2010 anymore 3) I live in Canberra during the winter and mother always told me if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything. However as this blog is still getting more hits than Jim walking drunk though a park at night (still don't understand how he manages that) so I feel that I owe it to my devoted audience of people who got diverted here from the page they were intending to look at, to post once more.
