As already noted here on Rawls & Me, there seems to be a strong positive correlation between the number of exams I have to mark and the frequency by which new posts appear on this weblog.

By nightfall I returned to St Kilda beach, bought The Age and sat down in an almost empty bar to read the daily news. It may seem tragic for a Friday night but for the moment, the solitude is self-chosen, it is about applying the existential brakes after hectic months filled by constant travel, teaching and social activity.

In the months ahead lie the Great Ocean Road, fairy penguins and kangaroos that came out at night to jump around the golf course.
