The 'Good Stuff'
Long time no blog write. I needed the time off. I've been working on fixing up my house so that I can move in, and I've been living a busy family life and spending lots of time with my sister in law and nephew while they got ready to move to the middle east .
They've now moved over, and my house is finally painted. But still there is lots to do. It doesn't really make for exciting reading, but hey, life gets hectic sometimes.
Finally on Saturday, after three months trudging around the world via surface mail, I received Julie's first published novel, 'Blue'. Hooray, I get to read her work! I haven't updated my contacts thingee, but check out her new website: http://jdriso.wordpress.com She's the best new writer i've read lately! Onya Julie, you rock!

Other than that excitement, life is just moving along. I need a holiday to recharge. It's been nearly a year since I've had a holiday, or at least some decent time off to get away from 'normal' times.
But I did make a cool discovery on Saturday! I was contently relaxing after a fantastic feast of food at a dinner party with some friends of friends from Beijing the other day, when they unravelled this mystery liquer from a gilded box. I had never heard of Moutai before, but as of last night I am a convert. That stuff is great! ..although at 53% alcohol, just a sip here and there is probably all that should be drunk in one sitting.
I just totally dig how wherever I go in the world there is something new and something that I have never heard of. Apparently this is 'the good stuff' that lots of rich folk in China like to drink. Hmm I wonder if I can find this stuff at the bottle shops of Perth?
