Exploits in the real world

It has been awhile since I last wrote anything substantial. I keep telling myself that I don’t have the time, or that it isn’t appropriate to be blogging during ‘work’ hours, but the truth is, every time I feel like writing about anything, I lose interest. It’s a little bit amusing yet ironic, because, what I’m trying to say is: I’ve lost interest in my current life and everything that goes with it.

That’s not to say that nothing interesting has been happening in my life. It is just that I do not feel as though there is anything compelling enough that would warrant me to commit it to an eternal life on the great interweb.

For some reason or another, I feel as though I’m just cruising through life these days. Nothing too challenging has been thrown my away since I got out of Antarctica, so perhaps that's why life seems dull these days. Back when I was on station, every single day was sort-of like a battle with the elements. Before walking out to work, I had to make sure I had enough warm clothes before I walked out of the door to keep frostbite at bay, check the wind speeds and temperature stats daily to make sure that I hunker down enough to not get blown away and watch out for penguins and seals so that I don't break my neck stumbling and falling over them - compared to those daily trials and tribulations, life now seems to pale in comparison! The most dangerous thing I have to watch out for while I'm walking to work are those pigeons that are always in mid-flight and perpetually look as though they are about to take a crap on you.

To alleviate this pseudo-stagnation that I've been feeling since coming home, I've been indulging in a lot of mini-holidays. I've been travelling to Melbourne A LOT, which is good, it's a nice change and I like it. Besides travelling, I guess I've just been slowly re-immersing myself into the 'Real World', a term I like to use these days. A lot of shopping, a lot of sitting-around-in-cafes-doing-nothing, a lot of walking-around-the-city-and-parks-aimlessly, and, of course, my favourite, a lot of catching up with food that I've missed.

I've often thought of blogging and putting up photos taken when I was in Antarctica on my blog. I realise now that I have accumulated WAY too many photos and, to be frank, I can't be bothered retelling my adventures again because I'm too lazy. Anyway, I've posted up most of them on Facebook with neat little story-telling captions too, so they're somewhere out there at least. Till next time!


Me and Yihaur went to the Sunny Ridge Strawberry farm in Mornington Peninsula, and all I can say is - Strawbies are AWESOME.
