Alice Springs Post No 2

George Monbiot "Bring on the Apocolypse"
Thomas Friedman's "Hot, flat and crowded"

I really enjoy pop politics books. I really do.... both of these were excellent.

Where to next?

Alice Springs etc

G'day

I'm in the Alice now and enjoying the heat. We have been here for a couple of days, and it is great to be back. Trip up went well, and we had a good time in Melbourne.

I am having a good time with wedding organisation. Still haven't managed to get Sara's ring yet.....

Managed to get out for a climb at the horseyard crag, led a grade 10 called tunnel vision which went well for a first climb back. We've been swimming at the pool a bit. We're staying at Ghan's place in Gillen, which is good.

I've been running around getting all the "sign on" paperwork sorted out and writing a bunch of letters. I'll be starting a new blog with Sara to keep a record of our movements and goings on. I'll keep this blog though for bits and pieces....probably post on both.

Cheers
