Camera + Laptop + Plane Ticket
I wish I had something interesting to show for the last 6 hours travelling. Yet all there is to report is the mini saga unfolding next to me. A young mother stands scolding her 3yr old child for licking someone else’s crumbs up off the table…
I can’t blame the child really, the crumbs look much more satisfying than her meal.
Till San Francisco…

that is all.
In town for the Australian Fluid Mechanics Conference, the only thing more worthwhile seems to be walking on the beach.
The eerie blanket of silence that is exam period was pushed aside to the resounding clack-clack of mirror and shutter…
Sunday left me with no doubt that autumn leaves (fall for those north of the equator) are deserved of all the praise. Montréal once again turned on the good weather. We were treated to some spectacular colours as we wandered through both the Gault Nature Reserve and Île Sainte-Hélène.
Whilst North American viewers might find my preoccupation with squirrels somewhat disconcerting, they (the squirrels) are everywhere! squirrelling away nuts to the tops of the trees and approaching passers by, as if to check they aren’t just a moving tree full of nuts.
McGill University is nestled between downtown Montréal, the cosmo-chic shopping district and Mount Royal, the namesake of Montréal (Think in French: mont-real) to say it is well positioned is an understatement.
