which way the wind is blowing

there's not many things i like about the australian newspaper, but i do like their huge colour weather page with satellite images and phases of the moon






the online version doesn't do it justice
being from melbourne it's important to think about the weather, or at least talk about it a good deal.
a few things made me think about the weather today.
1. it's my first day back at work so i am in a highrise office instead of a ground floor house & garden, or indeed 50m in-ground pool
2. a friend sent me this piece of internet wonder, david lynch's daily weather report
and
3. i am reading the hawkline monster by richard brautigan i had never come across his work before so diligently went to the wikipedia entry. it told me about his difficult life, that murakami is a fan, and ended on this rather beautiful and bittersweet thought,
Brautigan once wrote, "All of us have a place in history. Mine is clouds."

mine is clouds seems such an eloquent phrase, i googled it and found a rather wonderful blog
beautiful images, a good place to travel

accidental travel is a good way to start the year
