It's been a big week and my learnings are varied.
1. Better late than never!
2. A hagiologist chronicles the lives of saints.
3. If you discover a word that you have never seen before like hagiologist, you will invariably stumble over it time and time again in the next 48 hours.
4. Sitting in a peaceful, beautiful garden, reflecting on the road behind and the road ahead is the best form of meditation there is.
5. The GPS Navman lady is very bossy and if you disobey her stern warnings she will lead you in a merry circle as punishment.
6. There isn't a town on the East Coast of Australia that doesn't have a chinese restaurant.
7. The official ski season starts in the Snowy Mountains next weekend.
8. The paintings in the National Gallery of Australia's Masterpieces from Paris exhibition somehow looked even more interesting and vibrant than when I saw them all shuffled together at the Musee d'Orsay. Perhaps this is due to the 'important exhibition' nature of the NGA's showing.
9. I love an open road.
10. There is no place more exciting, more inspiring, more fun or more delicious than home.
