Quiet times…

Random Ramblings

Not much to read on this site at the moment. I only started this blog to write about my time in Sri Lanka and then into Kenya, so until next time I set foot in some location a little more interesting than downtown Sydney you’ll have to make do with reading these old posts…

Americans and guns – you’ve gotta laugh!

Into Kenya

I mean, if you don’t laugh what’s the alternative? Crying?

It’s more the [...]

Sleepless in Kenya (and the issue of skin colour raises its ugly head)

Into Kenya

It’s been a while since my last email/post, and together with a rather restless night with not much sleep I thought it about time I threw some verbiage together to let folks know what’s been happening. Good stuff for the most part, but also some issues arising most definitely from the colour of my skin [...]

Tired, tired, tired…

Into Kenya

Feeling tired this week, really, really tired. Was to be expected somewhat, with the second Michezo Youth Initiative tournament this weekend, but still, perhaps didn’t expect to be feeling quite THIS tired. I have my moments where I wonder if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, if what I am aiming for is [...]

Lanka Relief

Sunrise reflections…

Here I sit on my penultimate morning in this country I have made my home in some form or other over the past three months, with mixed feelings about my looming departure. I am looking forward to heading home, but part of me longs to stay, to continue to share further in the slow process [...]

The Accidental Olympian

So how many people do you know are fast approaching their 40th birthday, play a sport where they wear ballet shoes and a lycra body suit, and are on the verge of making their first Olympic games in that sport after taking it up barely two years ago?
Derryn Harrison is not your average person. He’s [...]

  • About Naked Chronicles

    “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones that you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
    Mark Twain

    Life’s too short to sit in one place for too long. Life’s too rich to not want to experience all there is to offer. Life’s too valuable to not help others who may be a little less fortunate than you.
