Clichéd title: The End is Near

It seems just about every other person is wrapping up the year 2005 with the typical annual report and a New Year’s greeting.

Well I can’t not do that, can I? I don’t want to stand out like a sore thumb, like an erect penis in a room full of eunuchs, like a big bad wolf among three little pigs, like a glass of orange juice in a pub, like a colour photograph in 1948.

Really, I can’t be stuffed to summarise my year in a few paragraphs, in part because the weather in Melbourne is being a bit bitchy today. The metrological department’s latest update says max temperature in the metropolitan area is 33; yesterday the estimated maximum was 42. That was frightening.

Saturday
Fine. A mostly sunny day with a moderate southerly wind extending throughout
this afternoon.

Happy New Year.

I hope to get some good photographs of pyrotechnics later tonight. Failing that, I can always snap bad photographs of pyrotechnics.
