Australia Day
» ‎ About a Boy

I dropped John and James down to Coogee Beach around lunch-time today, while I (unpatriotically) opted to do the shopping for the week. Coogee is crazy-busy on Australia Day. There were crowds spilling out of bars onto the street, girls wearing Australian-flag bikinis and draped in Australian- flag towels (with temporary tattoos of flags on their [...]

A Different Type of Presentation
» ‎ Mark O'Meara: the blog

One thing I love to see is people being kind, supportive and interested in other people.

One thing that annoys me is people banging on about their pet dislikes/hates in regard to any stimulus. It seems that the comments section of newspapers are full of this sort of thing.

Although there is plenty of the latter online, I find it touching and reassuring to find rich veins of the former, too.

» ‎ About a Boy

I went for a walk last night and again this morning to test if we might be able to walk to school each day. It’s only 1.1km, but there’s one relatively steep part leading up from our house to the shops. I was amazed at the number of restaurants we pass on the way to school. [...]

Waiting to die
» ‎ Joanna's Ramblings

Pam is about to go catch a plane to Brisbane. The doctors have told her family that her father will probably die today. I know what it is to lose a parent. However I don’t know what it is like to have one taken from me by degrees by cancer, or to be given such [...]

Close to the End
» ‎ Mark O'Meara: the blog

Tomorrow is both Australia Day, a public holiday, and the last day of my lengthy summer holidays. For the longest time this year, these holidays felt really long. Not long in an insufferable way. More like an endless summer of taking it easy with Nicky, the kids, and with friends. It’s been really nice.

Then, all of a sudden it seems, it is over. This is fine. I think being back at work and busy will do me good. I am not a new teacher any more, and I need to focus my attentions on doing this job as well as I can. It might not the absolutely the most important job on the planet, but it deserves my full work-life attention.

Lesson for the day – the end gets here in its own time.
