Too close by half

It has indeed been a while since I took a snapshot. Therefore, in brief-

Reading: Tokyo Cancelled, Rana Dasgupata; The Justice Game, Geoffrey Robertson; The Kitchen Diaries, Nigel Slater; Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook, Fuschia Dunlop. Eating: @ Icebergs, Bondi NSW; @ Ay Oriental Teahouse, South Yarra VIC; fresh cut rocket and herbs from the garden. Drinking: Cape Mentelle Semillon Sauvignon Blanc; Asahi; mint tea (made the proper Middle Eastern way with gunpowder green tea, lots of sugar and Moroccan mint). Watching: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (ohhh Sorkin you've done it again you clever bastard); Brothers and Sisters; Futurama. Listening: RRR; TWiT; Kent. Doing: not enough, but I'm on holiday. Angry letters to federal members will resume in coming weeks.
