I found it strange how many people asked me “how’s yer day been” yesterday in Sydney. Ironic because that day had been spent exclusively in vans, airports and airplanes. “Bad” would be the most accurate answer when one includes the fact that I was, and still am, recovering from losing my voice almost entirely.

Well it’s a new day, we’re in Adelaide (“Rad-elaide”) and I’m going to hopefully nap until my voice returns. I will be aided by Thomas Hardy’s “Far From the Maddening Crowd”. Let’s just say that ol’ Tommy was a writer of a “windy” nature so I should be out cold in just a few minutes.
