Just to show that Sydney has better weather than Melbourne, I just had a phone call from a colleague in Melbourne. He was working in a field in melbourne… And I was here in Sydney, and I can assure you that I should have been inside with the Air Conditioner on.

I just heard from a friend in the USA. Well, he is actually in brisbane at the moment since he has got a job up there and is in the process of moving across. One of the tasks for this trip is to organise his medical license. He is in the final stage of that, but is not sure yet if he will need to sit a medical exam. Strange that a person coming to a job as a professor needs to face a medical board, but that is just how it is, particularly after that doctor up in Queensland who was struck off in the USA, and got a job up there… Dr Patel I think it was…

I saw one of the St Trinians movies this afternoon – these movies are a real riot. They are about a girls school where the girls are fairly rough, and so are the teachers. The students get away with blue murder – one film they show a news paper headline ‘300 St Trinians students get MBE, Thousands return their honours in protest.’. They are a riot – much recommended.
