I was up before the sun rose again this morning, and prepared for an early pick up to go on a whaleshark tour. A couple of weeks ago I had emailed all of the whaleshark tour operators in Exmouth, explaining what I am doing, and that one of my goals is to see a big […]

My trip northwards to Exmouth to swim with the whalesharks has taken a bit of organising, but in the last few days the hard work paid off and things finally fell into place just in the nick of time. Because Perth to Exmouth isn’t one of the major air routes, there is only one airline […]

Yvette sent me a link to Richard’s latest appearance in the world’s media. What can I say? This just adds to my reasons for “Meeting Richard Branson” being included in my list of 100 goals! Nice work Richard! Yvette suggests I might need to upgrade my kitesurfing goal too! I hope she means I should […]

This morning was another beautiful sunny Perth Sunday as I rode the motorbike down the freeway, and along the riverfront to Tompkins Reserve Recreation Centre, which was to be the host venue for the Western Australia Poker State Finals. I played again last night at the Osborne Park Hotel, one week after beginning my poker […]

Plans are now coming together for the next part of my journey, and I have booked my flights from Perth to Nice in the south of France, where I am going to see the Cannes Film Festival. I was very lucky to find just the flight I needed with Qantas, and was able to use […]

After my initial, somewhat less than successful foray into the world of poker playing on Saturday evening, I decided I needed to get a bit of practice in, and enrolled online for a bit of free-play Texas Hold ‘Em. I also hot-footed down to the local video store where I rented “World Series Of Poker” […]
Continue readingBack in July last year, just after the “ALife4Sale” auction had completed, my next door neighbour, Fiona, mentioned that she knew a doctor at work who regularly went flying, and had offered to take me up for a flight, if I would like to. Of course I would! I got in touch with Rob, and […]

Oh dear! My poker career is hardly off to a flying start! And considering the fact that my goal is to enter a high-stakes poker game, I am a little worried, to say the least. I had been told that the the pub just down the road has a regular poker tournament on a Saturday […]

I am currently working on my goal of learning how to lucid dream (more info here), and promised to provide an update on how I am progressing. I had hoped to have been able to report complete success by now, and am afraid I am unable to do so yet, but I have made some […]
Continue readingEaster weekend seemed like an ideal time to go and try to achieve a skydiving goal, but I hadn’t taken into account the fact that the dropzone out at York had organised a big weekend event covering the whole four days, and people had arrived from all over the country to jump there. The place […]

If a real job continues to elude me for the next couple of weeks, then I think I will be departing on the next leg of the journey in early May, just a month or so away. Because the sale of my life ended without the whole package selling as one single item, and I […]

I really don’t really have much planned at all for the next week, and have decided to dedicate a bit of time to my goal of learning how to lucid dream. A lucid dream, as defined by Wikipedia, also known as a conscious dream, is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that they […]

Perth has a long sandy coastline, and in summer has a regular afternoon onshore wind, making it an ideal kite boarding location. A drive up the coast on any summer afternoon will show how popular the sport has become, as kites regularly fill the sky over many of the beaches. I have watched these people […]
