So I’m back from my brief holiday to Uluru, Alice Springs and Kings Canyon. 2000+ photos later and I never want to look at a big red rock ever again! But seriously, I had a great time. I embraced the nothingness of being in the middle of nowhere and made heaps of friends around campfires and on tour buses. I’ve come back with bunches of email addresses and the business cards of some great artists and other friendly folk. I thought being away would allow me to comtemplate life, the universe and everything, but found that instead it allowed me to swtich off for a while and not think about anything too hard. It was fantastic. When’s my next holiday?

Just a bit of prettiness from the base of Uluru

Of course now I’m back in Melbourne where it is colder and I have to pick up where I left off. Thankful that I still have some annual leave up my sleeve, I’ve got some time to pursue other interests and ventures… and catch up with all you wonderful people on the bubble.
So, what’s being going on while I was away?

There was a rumour going around that you were dead or had been captured by aliens or that a big redbubble had swallowed you, taken you into space and then burst sending you plummeting through the atmosphere where you had burnt up on re entry and become a meteor shower!
Personally, I didn’t believe the red bubble one at all :-)
God I’m funny.
LOL
