I'd forgotten how much I liked Stephan Bodzin's Liebe Ist album. I very rarely pay CDs or digital files any more, so this has just slipped off my radar.

This photo was taken under the Largs Pier Jetty. The decay of the timber is very attractive.

06/11/16 - Picked up at Gepps Cross Market, which used to take place on the drive-in cinema site. All closed down now, to feed the insatiable housing beast. Another loss for people who like to browse random shite spread out on a tarpaulin.

Also, another record that's barely worth a dollar.

29/10/16 - Taken at On The Run, Largs Bay. Herbie hated a bath.

His front half was a kind of very dark brindle, which would only be evident for a week or so, post-wash.

28/10/16 - One of the most irksome things about getting older is the way you sprout hair. Nose, eyebrows, ears. This nose hair trimmer is still knocking about the bathroom cabinet, largely unused.

Also, in a lot of the pics around this time, focus (or the lack of it, more precisely) doesn't seem to be something I'm particularly interested in.

23/10/16 - This is a classy bit of soul, which I had bought after hearing the great Dr Bob Jones play it on his show. Turns out there's a mis-labelled version of this out there (which I found out to my cost). The one you want has the word Century scribbled out on the label presumably because they'd all been pressed with the wrong name on, or they found out there was another group with the same name, after the labels had been printed.

I really like writing on labels (WOL) of records I buy, even though it knocks value off. Seeing someone's name on there always makes me wonder who they were and what happened to them.

23/10/16 - This was posted at the height of the avo scare, where young people's inability to afford a mortgage was attributed to their love of smashed avo on toast.

Avocados are one of those things that I buy and 'save' until their mouldy. I can't seem to break out of this behaviour pattern.

Maybe I'm

to blame for the ongoing rental crisis.

09/10/2016 - If there's one thing I love, it's a green tomato and if I ever see them for sale, I buy them.

One of the most memorable things I've ever eaten was a pretty basic salad of green tomatoes, in Majorca in 2003. It's making my mouth water, just thinking about it..

They're a very good example of how supermarkets lead to restricted options, because you'll never see anything but very ripe ones for sale there. This picture was taken at the now-defunct Torrens Market, which was a proper 20-eggplants-for-$8 market, rather than $25-for-a-macaroon market.

Took a couple of photos at the nearby Garden Island Dolphin Sanctuary the same morning, which I've tagged onto this post.

3/10/206 - I'd made some gremolata. Delicious.

It's a nice pic. It made me think, "Must make some gremolata!"

I reckon these close-up food pics were taken on my Canon DSLR, rather than the crappy phone camera.

03/10/16 - One of the nice things about living where I live is running along the foreshore. In fact, I have run up and down its length so often that I completely take it for granted.

One of the things that I like most about it is when you can see a weather front coming in across the ocean. That's what's happening in this pic.

There'll be a lot of this type of photo as we go along, I expect.

3/10/16 - A screenshot of a recent drunk online purchase. You can't beat a good shopping bag.

Looking back, after something like six years' sobriety, it's quite shocking to see how central alcohol was to my life.

As it turned out, these bags were pretty crappy.

02/10/16 - The final post from what was a busy Sunday, shows the post-post punk band Belgrado from Barcelona, playing at The Metro in Adelaide. (I had to consult a friend with more memory than me to recall the name, to be honest).

I do remember that they were quite good, and the singer's blonde bob swished about quite magnificently.

These posts from, like nine years ago, also show how far phone cameras have come in that time.
