running by myself (with the aid of the
BoM rain radar to plan
the timing and MapMyRun (or Runstoppable)
to make a route map, work out length of run, log times, etc!)
a variety of authors: Anne Tyler, Gail Godwin, Richard Ford,
Elizabeth Berg, Elizabeth Strout, Sue Miller, Carol
Shields, Margaret Forster, Helen Dunmore, Anita Brookner, and lots of others working
in the domestic fiction genre . . .
I have been let down by...
myself
too many people to mention
software which doesn't work properly (e.g. OutlookSync)
coffee and food sources:
Fratelli Fresh, Waterloo - they don't open till 10am then half
the time don't have the bread I want. Besides, I know get it cheaper
direct from the source.
Healthy Appetites - stopped stocking my favourite fruit
buns
a little on the side - wonderful coffee all the time.
Brilliant banana-walnut bread....some of the time, but crap the rest
of the time. Too inconsistent for me.
Mecca people - great coffee, but they kept forgetting my order
Tobys Estate - they stopped keeping my favourite fruit &
nut toast and offered a bland commercial raisin toast as equivalent!
The Cherry
Bean - changed their hours to open at 8am instead of before 7am
Programmers for the breakfast program
on ABC Classic FM - music moved more towards World Music, jazz, and
20th Century Easy Listening crap (e.g. music from The
Lion King), and even repeatedly playing that ridiculous Albrechtsberger
Jews Harp Concerto!!!
