Reading

At the moment Mycroft is reading 'Red Zone Baghdad My War in Iraq' by Marcus Fielding.  This is an interesting study of one person's war as a member of the Australian Army.  The perspective is different from many recent books about conflicts around the world and is definitely worth a look.

Otherwise Mycroft has been enjoying some fine autumn weather.  Unfortunately Sydney did not have a great summer so the whole population is on the look out for a ray of sunshine.  Hard to believe that a few years ago there was not enough water to float a toy boat made out of half a matchbox.  Now it's more like Waterworld (though without an odd looking Kevin Costner).

I was disappointed to read on Mark Dapin's blog that he no longer writes for the Sydney Morning Herald 'Good Weekend'. For more details, see  http://markdapin.blogspot.com.au/
A warning though, there is a You Tube video on the site which includes some very serious swearing.  That's fairly common for our Mark, who once invited people to deface his Wikipedia entry and offered a prize for the most inventive effort.....You can read the real page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Dapin

Currently Mycroft is watching 'Glee'. Yes, I still check out what's on the box (the flat screen?) every so often. In tonight's Glee, Jeff Goldblum appears.  So that is where he disappeared to!  I think everyone was wondering where he went.
